I’ve made a bunch of little $5 hearts on sticks for when somebody just needs a little love..or when you are told ..”No pressies please !”.. or if you need a sweet little garden sculpture get SIX for $25 and watch them dance in the flowers.
Jewellery for a garden !
Some have Sparrows flying and one has an anchor and two hearts.. for the Pirate love of your life !
If one were to give, say, a ladle, as a gift .. it is a “Gift that keeps Giving” ..(Probably for around 3,000 years or so).. but as the bestower of this Gift.. you too will be brought to mind whenever the Ladle is used..(not for those thousands of years though) Nourishment for all ! ..
So … for your edification and delight ! .. documenting the making of Three Cake Slices and Two “Dollop” spoons (a dollop of cream/chocolate fudge sauce/caramel and Grand-Marnier ?.. smothering some almond meal cake delight!)….
