This spoon is made from brass, shaped, cast, forged and patinated, weight 115.8 grams
Beach combing I found this specimen on the QLD coast near Bowen. Modified shaped and cast in brass it now has a new form as a spoon.
Drift seeds (also known as sea beans) and drift fruits are seeds and fruits adapted for long-distance travel by water.
Seeds are time capsules of life, harbouring potential in their dormant from.
They can traverse oceans, rivers and air lying in wait for the right time to germinate.
Just as seeds can remain hidden for years, ideas can rest in the subconscious, ready to flourish under the right conditions.
