More clocks

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!

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!!

Changing tiles into clocks

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!!

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!
