Object D'Art Challenge



Well Jennie's Theatre of Dreams has just had it's opening night, starring the beautiful 'Angel Of the South'............she really is stunning & you must check her out!! Jennie has asked we use ANY kitchen utensil & alter it. After a lot of pondering, rummaging & brainstorming (sounds good, don't you think?? Lol!!) This is what I came up with. This Object started life as a silver fork & is now a very unsual bangle. What do you think? I did think about injecting some colour using alcohol inks, but my mum & son talked me out of it as they thought it would ruin it & liked the simplicity of the silver. Thanks for looking, all comments appreciated. (click on images for clearer view)
