SpoonFed Art, founded by Karin Collins, are pendants made out of spoons! She began fashioning these pendants out of spoons as a means of therapy for an eating disorder and decided to turn it into a business. The pendants feature vibrant colours and unique designs. Each pendant is handmade and comes with a black suede cord or you can choose a white cord or a key ring. You can buy them online or at the LA CAFA Museum Shop. The pendants will be featured in Misha Barton's upcoming ad campaign for Keds and in a new Vera Wang campaign. These stylish little pieces of art will only cost you $85.
