Do You Have Time for a Few More?

This is the other clock I made.  (The black is background for the photograph.)  I decoupaged fabric to a paint canvas.  It was a little tricky getting the corners turned under and squished flat, but I was ultimately successful.  

I painted the clock's hour and minute hands blue.  I had to mix a couple of paints and I was trying to match the blue petals on the left.  It wasn't until just now that I see how far off I was!  Oh well.  I painted the second hand black.  I didn't mess that one up.

Like yesterday's frisbee clock, the idea came from SewHome magazine.




Purchased silhouette clock.  Now that I started making clocks, this gives me hope I can make some clever ones in the future.  I need to find a better source for clock mechanisms, though.




These make nice accessories to swap in and out of rooms as you redecorate.  Or you could be like my friend Kris and hang all of them up at once on your office wall. 




I bought this wooden clock at a garage sale.  It was made by Michelle Allen, a Vancouver, Washington artist. 

It doesn't work too well - the hands tend to get tangled up in each other.  No wonder, who knows what all it endured before being sold at a garage sale and bouncing around my place for a couple of years.  Hey - guess what I just found on her website?!?!  A video on what to if your clock hands aren't working properly.  I just watched it and see that my hour hand wasn't pushed down far enough.  Now that I took care of that, guess I better clean this little guy up and pop a battery back in.
