Visited another favourite haunt of mine today - Ross Farm Musuem. It's been a while since I have been and it's always a wonderful place to visit. This gentleman was making spoons in the workshop.

The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler.
Spoon-winged lacewings - Chasmoptera superba
Recently we visited Lake Deborah north of Bullfinch and found some exquisite Spoon-winged lacewings. We were able to observe them for a few hours.
Their hind wings pump up and down as they fly.
They can fly fast or slow in a fluttering fashion.
The flight path is as a wave action.
They are sometimes seen resting on the branches of the shrubs or perched on dried sticks on the ground.
The females lay eggs in the sand. Movement from the hind wings appears to help the abdomen penetrate the sand.

bloody spoon. This was taken with only one speedlight canon 430x II triggered remotely with cowboy studios radio trigger. inside of octo softbox (47 inch) with 1 layer of diffusion, and positioned on top of the subject slightly angled towards the camera. the flash was at 1/4 of the power. The soft box is nearly 10 inches from the subject, you can see the reflection of the softbox in the juice's bubbles
Home, sweet home --- my living room reflected in an Oneida soup spoon lying on the table, with a vase full of alstroemeria in good evidence. The red and gold paper is Indian and I think hand-printed.
Spooning...
This is my own design, reminiscent of the old "spoon ring". You know, where you cut the handle off some interesting piece of silverware, and bend it around to form a ring? This was a fun design that almost never happened. The customer wanted to make a new ring out of a very traditional yellow gold "right hand" ring. She was unhappy with the original because it looked to much like and engagement ring. In discussing what she likes and dislikes, she kept going back to "traditional design" and "symmetry". Basically we kept getting back to exactly what her ring was. She said she didn't like "Space Age" or "Modern". Great, my designs tend to be modern. She was a tough cookie. In talking, she said she wanted a "Saturday Night" ring. Something fancy she would mainly wear when going out. I asked her to trust me, and I came up with some drawings. Hesitantly, she picked this one. It is hard to tell, from a drawing, how a design is going to turn out. I had her approve the wax model I carved. That got her more excited about the design. I can't wait till she comes and picks this up. I think she will be stunned. My favorite part of doing custom work is the excitement when the customer sees the finished job for the first time. It makes all the long hours well worth it.
Often, in clean line designs like this, I like repeating a shape. Here, you can see the "U" shape repeated in several ways. What you can't see is the underside of the ring which is a smooth curve, for comfort, which repeats the "U" shape if you were to take a cross section. The inset on the right shows the detail and precision used in setting the large diamond to show off the stone, and line up the culet, or point, to the crease of the shank.

Not as fabulous as the trio of spoon flowers by Eiona Roberts (check them out in Not A Vase), but still pretty happy with this image. The spoon is sitting on a Mother's Day card from Caitlin, and the flower is from the plant she gave me for the same occasion.
