.......been working on some more spoons !

During the past weeks I've been busy with quite a few different casting spoon models made from stainless steel sheet .

Most of those models I had uploaded before , but on many of these present ones I have tried some different plating techniques like applying glitter flakes , spray paint and nightglow powder .

Some are also only polished , annealed and/or decorated with reflective foil .

Anyway , before painting/plating I had the undersides polished , since I was aware , that paint dust , glitter chips and/or epoxy would get to stick there during working , so this way it is very easy to remove these after all final topcoating of the topside is done ,.... nothing would adhere well to a polished steel surface !

Just used my fingernails to scrape off all remainders and afterwards wiped over with a metal polish detergent .

To plate the topsides , I buffed them thoroughly with 40 grit metal sandpaper to assure proper adhesion of the paint primer coats and/or the first epoxy coat to bind the glitter flakes .

Prior to sprinkling on the nightglow powder(also on a epoxy layer) the spoons have to be painted in bright neon yellow , this assures the best effect of it , sprinkled on bare metal it would look a bit more dull , but still don't lose its glow abilities .

I have tried different templates for spraying , some worked out well , some not as good , though .

Anyway , need to practise more , working again on some more spoon blanks , want to do some more glitter versions .

Shown here are my proven "DinnerBell" spoon , and my "Mouse Spoon" , large and smaller version .
