Todays piece \i have to confess to having trouble with - I have started it a number of times and the colours have changed and changed - I'm not totally happy with it but time has run out on this one - so I'm running with it! Let me know what you think!
I don't know if you've seen these pocket watches from the MDF man - the clock part is about 12" in diameter - so its large!
I've used a sheena douglass stamp to stamp the main picture - I've also used a cloud mask from clarity to create clouds behind the front piece and also on the front piece of the clock. This isn't showing too much but it is there! I've also used UTEE and moulds to create the butterflies and stuck them onto the back panel of the clock so they can be seen through the cut outs.
The outer part of the clock has been made textured by using a cogs stencil and texture paste. Then its been painted red and the numerals were done in a black spectrum noir pen.
I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Simon says stamp Monday:simonsaysstampblog Time
Frilly and Funky/frillyandfunkie: Stencils and texture
Pan pastelpanpasteluk: Frame it
Sunday stamperpinkleart - use bright colours
Artistic stamper theartisticstampercreativeteam- letters, words and numbers
Thanks for dropping by today - I hope you have enjoyed my piece - I think I'm happy with it - lol!

Wow Rachel, it is 100 times better than my effort and I think the colours work really well, I love the red, the poppies look amazing and the butterflies are an absolute delight. Having done one myself, I would perhaps paint the clock hands in black to look more dramatic? But this really does have the wow factor and I love it! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeletethat sounds like a good idea Anne - clever you xx
Deleteoops Anne - I was logged in as my mum - lol xx
DeleteWow Rachel, I love this. I've had a pack of cogs sitting in my cupboard for a year now and done nothing with them. I should take a leaf out of your book, and do something with them.
