    How big is the bowl of the spoon? Would it be about a teaspoon sized? Could you make or find a beautiful little silver bowl for a silver sugar bowl?

    It seems so gorgeous I'd want opportunities to present it to people :D

    Haha if I'd made that I'd be accosting random passers by with it.

    You could put it into one of those box frame thingies on the wall.

    It's about an inch diameter.
    Yes, I would like to make a little bowl, also a little box, both of which courses clashed with other things I was doing, so projects for the New Year!
    Just thought! I could use it for my morning caviar!
    (Hahahaha! :D )



    Code, many apologies for the gross insult!:D :(:o:p
    When I looked it up, it said it originated in Dundee!
    I suppose, like the cake, it has spread everywhere! :D

  • Pyxis, thats beautiful. Well done!

    WaS, hope you have an awesome time tomorrow.

    I am considering walking 500 miles for real when i get back from South America!! :)

    Happy Christmas to everyone if I don't get back online prior to then.:j
  • The spoon is absolutely beautiful, Pyxis! It really is a work of art, I adore it! Do a find a way to display, it is too gorgeous to be hidden.

    Have a lovely Christmas if we don;t hear from you again until afterwards, oldestgnome. Do tell us how you spend the day!

    Thanks to my wonderful hamper I have had the best bath ever complete with face mask and beautiful creams! I am all ready to go tomorrow. Guess what? Too excited, can't sleep!

    By the way, I'll be away tomorrow from pre-dawn to evening, on a day's silversmithing course, so won't be able to get online all day!

    Be good! :D

    Oh I'm so jealous - I really want to try silversmithing :) the spoon looks fabulous!

    WaS - enjoy reindeer day, I think we're all as excited as you are :rotfl: have a fantastic time :)

    Yay! Reindeer and millefleur-dear day today!

    ETA: Make sure you allow PLENTY of time for travelling. It's mad, this time of the year.
