Another oldie for Friday......................

well another week has just gone and flown by......................

doesn't seem two minutes ago since I was scheduling last weeks Oldie for Friday.................

anyway here goes for this week............

like last week I must apologise for the quality of the photo...................I took a lot of my projects, photos at the same time so not sure why they are looking so hazy................

 

I made my version in 'pretty colours' rather than the really grungy colours that would perhaps be usually used in a project with cogs and wheels...................

a little bit pretty too with the flowers which were ink and splatted.....................love doing this, although preferably in the craft class rather than at home!!...............

It has a fully working clock mechanism and the watch face on top of the clock and the key on the side were inked, Versamarked and heat embossed three times and mica powders added to the hot Versamark so it would melt into the ink to give an aged look..................

the case of the clock was covered in texture paste to make it look old and the outer of the clock face is a spellbinders circle die (sorry don't know which one).............it also has some silver paint dry brushed onto the case but unfortunately is doesn't really show up that well on the photos................

 

 

I absolutely loved creating this and even more so because it actually works so not only decorative but functional too.....................and another shout out for Julie Atkinson who guided us through making this lovely creation.................

I hope you like it...............a little grungy but a little bit pretty too, so may appeal to those who don't 'do' grungy!!

 

Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend whatever you are doing.
