Painted Metal Spoons

Old metal spoons cleaned and ready to paint.

Painted spoons on my display tree.

This spoon is titled 'Sunset Cruise' and is in a private collection.

I was in an antique store with my mother and we came across a collection of old, metal spoons, in various patterns and condition.  I wondered if I could paint on them, and since the price was right I decided to give it a shot.  They are painted with latex house paint or acrylics and have two coats of acrylic varnish for protection and come with a ribbon for hanging.  They are not intended for food use or play by children.  They are a bestseller and make a wonderful gift for a host/hostess, secret pal, or just because.
