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.
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.

Spoon resting on an iphone screen, reflecting the image displayed on the screen. As a further nod to the "Tableware" theme, the image is a semi-abstract photo of a stack of blue and white plates. Width of the spoon is 34mm. HMM!

Week 27 Sun Flares
Taken for the CC weekly challenge. Used spoons and a flash instead of the sun (of which there has been little, mainly cloudy and humid)
Sugar sifters are small ladle shaped spoons which could be used at the table to take the powdered sugar from sugar bowls or sugar baskets and sprinkle it over fruit, puddings or cakes. During the Nineteenth Century refined sugar became cheaper and thus readily available to a larger section of the population. Sugar sifter spoons developed in the mid Eighteenth Century and are similar in form and size to sauce ladles, but with flattened bowl bases. The bowls were decorated with elaborate pierced patterns.
This week the Flickr Friday theme is "spoon" and I thought this was an unusual type of spoon that might be of interest, as it represents a more genteel time in our history.
This sifting ladle was made in 1853 by the silversmiths firm Yapp and Woodward in Birmingham. (Private collection).
John Yapp and John Woodward registered their business in 1845. At one stage they were partners with Joseph Willmore. They were renowned for making Visiting Card Cases. It is not usually possible to identify the artist or designer responsible for a particular design on a piece of cutlery, which makes this sifting ladle a delightful exception to the rule.
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.
