Artists are magpies... here is a shop full of shiny things, many of which are hand stamped with words that have caught my eye or my ear as I encountered them, and which I've carried away to add to my creative nest.
(Although of course I've tried very hard to avoid infringing anybody's copyright, trademark or intellectual property - please do let me know if I have inadvertently failed!)
If you have a favourite phrase, saying or out-of-copyright quotation and it isn't already here somewhere, just get in touch (there is a red 'contact' link at the top of this shop homepage) to commission a personalised spoon.

Full description
A hand stamped vintage silver-plated tea spoon with wording inspired by Rene Magritte's masterpiece 'The Treachery of Images'. Is it or isn't it a spoon? Is it still a spoon if it says it isn't one? Is the inscription true, or not? Is it Art? Either way you can stir your tea with it so ultimately these questions are of purely intellectual interest. It's a bog-standard plain ordinary teaspoon measuring approximately 13.5cm long. It's also a bit old and battered so I've added it to the 'perfectly imperfect' sale.
This would make a fun little gift for a tea-loving artiste or an art-loving tea drinker, or why not just treat yourself to a little bit of daftness to brighten your own day. Especially if you live or work with people who just wouldn't get the joke...
This listing is for ONE spoon. You will receive the spoon shown in the photographs. Please study the photographs with care if signs of ageing and wear on your spoons bother you, because this has plenty of both! The lettering is coloured with a non-toxic, water-based acrylic ink. Wash carefully by hand.
I can do other wording to order so if there's another arty quote you'd like to see on a spoon, do please get in touch via the 'contact' link on the front page of my shop (you can click 'View shop' above the thumbnails at the bottom of this listing to get back there).
