Cate Blanchett was last night photographed at the Los Angeles premiere of Borderlands in a halter-neck top [Ellen Hodakova] Larsson’s team had constructed from 102 spoons, each one sourced from in and around Stockholm.

    The article doesn’t mention anything about the weight, so to satisfy my own curiosity I just got a rough measurement of the weight of a spoon head (I didn’t remove the handle from the spoons I measured, so instead I let the handle rest on the counter, off the scale). Based on what I could come up with, that many spoon heads would weigh between 1.5 and 2 kilograms. Which seems quite high, and many of the spoons on that outfit look quite a bit larger than the ones I measured (although they might be thinner or a lighter metal).

    I wonder if the designer did anything to dampen the noise as well, because that many spoons rattling with every step seems like it would be quite loud.

      It looks like the handles might just be bent around, and not cut off. So you might have been better off just measuring the whole spoon.
