Spoonman Creations, (un)Ltd!

Thirty nine years of changing ordinary tableware into works of art and whimsy!!


Spoonman Creations, Ltd. has come a long way since 1971 when Mike made his first spoon ring. Armed with a rawhide hammer and a pair of metal shears, Mike looked around until he found a metal table leg that could be used as a mandrel. Mike sold his rings at a few craft fairs and flea markets in the Salem, Oregon area those first years, and when Portland Saturday (Sunday too) Market opened in 1974, he was ready. Mike is one of the few original vendors still at the Portland Market.

Spoonman Creations is best experienced in person, so look for us at the Portland Saturday (Sunday too) Market if you have the chance, and check out the craft fairs we plan on attending.

We still make spoon rings, and we've added new creations every year. This online catalog is a sampling of our favorite creations.

We want our customers to like our creations as much as we do, so this is our guarantee: If it breaks or is not what you expected, return it to us for a repair, exchange, or refund.
Mike, Deb, & Eric

June at Spoonman

If you are in the Portland area, be sure to participate in some of the Rose Festival events -- and stop by and see Spoonman on the weekends at Portland Saturday Market.

Spoonman will be traveling to Seattle for the Fremont Solstice Fair June 19 - 20. Celebrate this summer with a "weekend of eclectic activities that celebrate the quirky community of Fremont, the self-proclaimed 'center of the universe.'"

July at Spoonman

Summer is here and brings with it some lazy days and parades. Whether you are part of a parade this Fourth of July or just watching one, you need the appropriate attention getting eyewear. See the fireworks thru our Peacock or Bug Eyes Eyewear. Or perhaps the UFO Encounter or OnLine Eyewear with their retractable antenna will get you better reception.

If your summer has a few lazy days while you wait to harvest the garden, you can't have too many wind chimes singing music with every gentle breeze or ringing in the background of the latest summer storm. Check out our Butterfly, Dragonfly and Hummingbird Chimes.


Everything we make is unconditionally guaranteed. If it breaks, doesn't fit, or isn't exactly what you wanted, send it back for repair or replacement.
Every year our goal is to create something new or improve on an existing creation. This can be quite a challenge as we strive to reuse and recycle as much 'previously owned' silverware as possible.
Most of our creations are made out of silver plated flatware, but 18-8 stainless steel and some solid brass is also used. Check each item description for the 'color' choice.
We also make a limited number of creations from Sterling Silver. An example is the sterling spoon handle ring. We often have bracelets, barrettes, or pins available. If you can't visit us in person to see our selection, call for price and availability. By the way, availability of the Sterling we can use is so sporadic we never know what we will have from day to day. We keep the price as low as we can, and therefore cannot offer a discount on the creations made from Sterling silver.
