These altered wooden spoons are intended to reflect Elvis Presley playing All Shook Up. I made them for a swap at Art for the Creative Mind Swap Group. The theme was “Stirred, Not Shaken.”
This is my take.
I had two wooden spoons, one large and one small.
To make the guitar, I chose the smaller spoon and painted it a dark brown in colour. I drilled small holes near the top of the spoon handle and at the tip of the spoon part. I strung silver wire through these holes to represent the strings. I used narrow strips of black card stock to form the frets. I strung a few metallic beads on the end of the part that is called the headstock.
To make the Elvis impersonator, I painted the larger spoon with flesh coloured acrylic paint.
I made the face and hands from Polymer clay, using a mold.
Elvis’ hair is made from an old black nylon stocking.
The clothing is fashioned from white ribbon and decorated with yellow rhinestones.
After I took the picture, I added a gold necklace using gold metallic string.
One person said this is an art doll. Perhaps it is. It is definitely an altered wooden spoon or two.
