\"Silver <\/span>“This is great. I’ve been making silverware jewelry for awhile now and didn’t know what to do with the spoons.” ~June-F<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tea anyone! Today’s post is just a quick one. It’s late in my day as I write this, and dinner still needs to get made. Just thought I’d share with you this cute little pendant made from a vintage silver teaspoon. On the flattened out face of the spoon, is a slice from a teacup polymer clay cane, with steam wafting up from the warm and cozy beverage.

I knew I was saving those spoons for a reason. <\/span>~Linda-G<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a great idea, Cindy! I am sure I still have some – horribly tarnished! – silver spoons somewhere… but we’re going to a huge flea market tomorrow and I am sure to find some there. I can’t wait to try it :-)) <\/span>~Caroline-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have a lot of old cutlery that I want to turn into jewelry. This would definitely help me put away the spoons! Please teach! Thanks sweetie! <\/span>~Suzanna-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think this is an ingenious idea! Pretty spoons can be found at just about any thrift store, too. The possibilities are endless. Your brain never shuts off, does it? :) <\/span>~Bonnie-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think this is great. I’ve been making silverware jewelry for awhile now and didn’t know what to do with the spoons. I started with polymer clay a year or two ago and really like it. Thank you for sharing your ideas. <\/span>~June-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you look real close at the photo above, you will see that the tiny little flowers on that teacup are made with the Clay Extruder Flower Cane Technique<\/a> I talked about last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m thinking of making a teapot cane too. Wouldn’t that be cute to have a teapot on one earring and a steamy teacup on the other? Or maybe a charm or a pin where the teapot pours<\/em> into a teacup that dangles below?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you stretched the teacup to be long and tall and didn’t add the base, it could easily be a coffee cup as well. I know a lot of you like to hug a cuppa something warm and cosy while you read this blog. There is no reason why couldn’t capture that moment with a polymer clay bead or pendant!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for all these inspirational blog posts Cindy. I’m enjoying them and learning lots each morning with my coffee – and from the comments too!<\/span> ~Aims<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a surprise to have my morning coffee, open the website and see my comment at the beginning of this post<\/a>.<\/span> ~Sam-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
