Spoon with me

I decided to try making a bit of jewelry after all.  I was hoping I could cut and bend these spoons.

I gathered a few spoons that had no decorations on their handles.

I made one indentation cut on the spoons using my flush cutter pliers, then bent the handle back and forth until each snapped off.  That was much easier than I anticipated.

Using my needle nose pliers, I bent the spoons backward.  That took much more time and effort than I imagined.

I had hoped to have them decorated today, but I could barely move my fingers after I did all that manipulating.  I hope to be able to finish them tomorrow.  I want to use my metal stamps on a couple, make a collage or two on the bowl, and after looking at a couple of them, I think they would make a good bezel for collage embedded resin.

This is Day 16 of 22, and I cut and bent the handles of six spoons with the hope of eventually turning them into necklaces.  I have to admit, the hard part is out of the way and the fun part will be when I decorate them.  Again, I appreciate your kind remarks and how well you have supported me in my recycling efforts this year.
