Forks and spoons

I signed up for the 2012 Sketchbook Project, choosing the theme “Forks and Spoons.” Unlike last year’s sketchbook, “Make Mine a Double,” which had a narrative focus, I decided this year’s would focus more on exploring a variety of mixed media processes and techniques. Choosing a concrete object as a theme would free me from the distraction of deciding on the content. I took these photographs to use for some contact-paper image transfers, using some vintage silver spoons I found at local thrift stores.(Alas, no vintage forks could be found!) A later post will show pages from the sketchbook.
