NYLON -
"Most people only think about spoons when they're about to, say, scarf down a bowl of Lucky Charms; Karin Collins sees them as bite-sized canvases for art. The L.A.-based designer hacks the handles off ordinary utensils and fills them with all things sticky, shiny, and bright to form kitschy, unexpectedly punky pendants... Wear one, and you're guaranteed to cause a few mouths to open."

JANE -
"Everyone loves a little spooning. Now I've seen plenty of fork jewelry in my day, and even some spoon bracelets...but I've never seen spoon pendants like Karin Collins'. Cameos, glitter, sprinkles...you name it, and it's gone into one of Karin's spoon art casseroles. The spoon pendants are bright, they're even kitschy, but that's part of what makes them fun, and most definitely unique...be on the lookout for them!"

LA WEEKLY -
"The Art of Spooning: New Jewelry Measures Healing"
“Collins launched her company, SpoonFed Art, and found herself increasingly busy, especially after a write-up in hipster bible Nylon. She started selling her pieces at Pull My Daisy and Silver Lake Shoes in Silver Lake, and in the Los Angeles Craft and Folk Art Museum shop… But more than being part of any trend, what really excites Collins is the notion that her story is somehow inspirational.”

AOL LIVING"S STYLE LIST - LOS ANGELES HOMETOWN HERO -
“It's been said that some of the greatest creative minds in the world have suffered some kind of tragedy to make them pursue their artistic endeavor to the ends of the earth. It's possible the same could be said about jewelry designer Karin Collins, founder of SpoonFed Art… Collins uses a unique technique to create her stunning pendants -- she hacks the handles off spoons and fills them with all things sticky, shiny and bright to create her works of art... staggeringly beautiful pendants with a soul."

HEALTH MAGAZINE -
"Using small stainless-steel spoons as her canvas, Collins creates a collage in the base of each utensil using everything from colored glass to tiny beads and dried flowers. Each SpoonFed Art necklace really is a mini work of art..."

WORTH GLOBAL STYLE NETWORK -
"Los Angeles jewellery designer Karin Collins has created quite a buzz with her handmade necklaces made out of spoons. The hip necklaces, pendants, and accessories from SpoonFed Art fuse Pop Art materials and colours with cutlery"

ABOUT.COM -

The name of the company is SpoonFed Art - and the product? Necklace pendants made using the ends of spoons! They're all handmade and one of a kind."

YAHOO!HEALTH -
“When Karin picked up a spoon and started to turn it into a wearable pendant, she had no idea she was scooping up a cure for her eating disorder.” (Online Interview)

VISION MAGAZINE -
"Bite-sized innovation: Gorgeous combinations of objects and colors...sometimes kitschy, sometimes nostalgic, each one of Collins' designs is unique. Each pendant has fine and intricate detail, with vibrant, liquid colors that seem to melt into the curve of the spoon. A true artist..."

N.E.E.T. (UK) -
"SpoonFed Art offers Karin's beautiful jewelry pieces, actually made from spoons minus the handle. Each has a unique design seemingly melted into the scoop of the spoon... Karin has definitely managed to create a magnificent piece of art and a stunning piece of jewelry from a simply spoon, a 'must have' in your collection of jewelry!"

VENUS -
"Intricate, colorful pendants... When you buy one of Collins' pendants you're not only treating yourself and supporting an independent artist, you're also contributing to a great cause...we may start seeing more spoons around the most fashionable necks."

NYLON NEWSLETTER -
"Stylin' Silverware: Materializing her passion for pop culture, art, and fashion, LA-based designer Karin Collins created SpoonFed Art, an imaginative jewelry collection that takes wearable art to a new level. Collins transforms spoons into pendants, painted with fanciful illustrations and embellished with haphazardly positioned beads, stars and glitter. Each design is unique and individual, boasting one-of-a-kind titles...like "Guitar Zombies" and "Irrational Monkey." While they appear whimsically-inspired, the abstract goes beyond the aesthetic - Collins began fashioning the silverware as a therapeutic outlet for an eating disorder."

THE BAG LADY (UK) -
"Always on the lookout for interesting new designers, I was instantly drawn to Karin Collins line, SpoonFed Art. The eye-catching pendants are made from spoons - now that is creativity! Browsing through the gallery, it's hard to decide which one is more spectacular... You're guaranteed these will be a real talking point once they're around your neck! To top it off, there's a very inspiring story behind the brand; making these pieces served as therapy for the designer as she was overcoming an eating disorder."

FASHIONTRIBES -
"Even if you weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you can wear a handcrafted spoon collage pendant from SpoonFed Art around your neck. Gorgeous one-of-a-kind pendants..." (more)
