Hot Wax Art & Crafts Blog

Just back from the ATC Fundraiser at Auchtermuchty.  The organiser, Linda, had done a fantastic job of getting together a wide range of crafts and products … but unfortunately there weren’t very many visitors there to appreciate her hard work!!   Still, I enjoyed talking to the other crafters and customers and hope to exhibit at their next fundraiser later in the year (in a more central location!).

I’ve been busy clock-making – this time, using different paints for a brighter, bolder colour (rather than the stained glass effect).  All are felt-backed with a hook for wall hanging on the Quartz clock part.  I’ll be taking these with me to the craft fair at Auchtermuchty tomorrow.

Another stained glass-effect tile clock – this time with a plum-coloured sheep!

Baaa

Following on from yesterday, my clock parts have arrived – hurray!

So, here’s the fully dried Croc-a-gator from yesterday now showing its full stained glass effect AND actual working hands!!

Croc-a-gator Complete

I’ve been experimenting with changing white ceramic tiles into clocks by painting cheerful childrens characters onto them, drilling a hole and inserting a clock movement/hands etc.

Still waiting for the clock parts to arrive, but I had a go with leading and glass paints.  It was my FIRST TIME doing leading, so go easy when judging it/me!!

Croc-a-gator Clock (In Progress!)

Was still wet when I took the picture, so will photograph again when it’s dry and I have the clocks hands etc. in place – hopefully tomorrow!
