This is a simple line drawing to document a beautiful antique silver spoon my mom used as a sugar spoon at special family gatherings. Its intricate raised design features grape vines and curvilinear elements that, even tho it has value as a family memento, makes this a very special piece that stands on its own.

I hope to render the spoon in various media as I go forward. Likely using watercolour (with or without ink outlines) and/or graphite and coloured pencil. This is part of an ongoing personal project to document some of our family collectables.
