 This is an old sugar spoon my wife found while she was antique shopping a few years ago. The sugar bowl is my great grandmothers from the early 1900's.

I pressed the spoon into some modeling clay and poured sugar over the top of it. I wanted to display the spoon and give the photo a little "life". The sugar bowl is mostly to add depth and color. Light from both sides to show the detail of the dragon. I sprinkled sugar all over the table and faded the background to emphisize the subject. No post processing. Just Crop and size for web.

Quite an elaborate spoon, but the bowl looks even more interesting.
