Title: Anniversary spoon
Post by: garishglobes on June 28, 2012, 12:19:35 PM
I was asked to make this last week, for a silver anniversary. It is about 6 inches long. I engraved the names and "25 years" in the spoon part before sending - and the handle has a silver fumed implosion  :)
I've never made a spoon before and I have to say, I really enjoyed making this one.  :)

Wow, that's beautiful!!!!!!!  I've made silver spoons before, and enjoyed that, but I've never thought of making a glass one.
