I love scratchy tectured surfaces so no I'm not going to make it all shiny and polished. It used to be a teaspoon, so that's how big it is - if you cllick on the blog link there's an image in there with it resting on my hand and that will give youa sense of scale.
I love the indents on the side. Is that really just from filing?
That's lovely
You mentioned having problems with filing the inside bits - try using your saw blade as a file after you've pierced the shapes - tiny little movements are all that's needed, and it's much easier than trying to fit a needle file into such small spaces, especially at the ends.
Oh Evie that's looking sooooo good

Thanks for the tip - I'll try that!
The indents are done by filing - very carefully at first in order to get a line/groove to work to.
I'm not sure how I'm going to hang this from a chain. I gues I need to solder something on to the back for a chain to run through rather than drilling a hole at the top for a jump ring.
Any sugestions from the experts?
brilliant Evie your recycling ideas are amazing.
How about soldering a piece of tube onto the back shame you cut off the rest of the spoon you could have hammered that and folded it over.
When you are transferring a design on to metal draw it onto a piece of tracing paper then roll some pasticine over the metal and retrace the drawing, this will leave an impression on the plasticine and then you can just use a scriber to make it more visibe and it will only leave a very faint line easy enough to sandpaper off.
