Return of the 52-Week Illustration Challenge, Week 5

Week 5: Kitchen

Cutlery collage of watercolour and "La Carta Weave" textured papers. My "Kitchen" entry might trouble OCD types. I originally had no intention of putting some cutlery in backwards. (I did refrain from putting a knife in the fork drawer.)

Update:

Freehand-cut silhouette of a pie and fork, collaged onto a paper kitchen towel, mounted on a brown paper bag.

Week 5: Kitchen II

Time to stir?

Assorted cutlery from Joyce's house at Parramatta! The child's knife, fork and spoon set has a koala motif. The central souvenir spoon is marked "DJ's 125th year: 1838-1963" for the David Jones department store chain's anniversary.

A sense of history

Headstones at Parramatta's Walter Lawry Methodist Memorial Park,
the former Wesleyan Burial Ground (1843-1961).

I spent a good chunk of today in Parramatta, cleaning out the kitchen cupboards and cutlery drawer of a 90 year old friend, wondering if I have just as much junk in mine. (And realising that I do!) So there was an eerie, ironic feeling walking past this former cemetery on a morning tea break.

Amazing spoons, though!
