Altered Fairy Clock

Some time ago I made an altered fairy clock(you can see it here).  I was asked to make another for a friend that was getting married.  He wanted to give it to his sister as her best woman gift.  I decided to make this clock a bit more masculine, well as masculine as one can get making a fairy themed item.  I used a darker color palette with the flowers and the fairy wings.  I love making the clocks like this.  The tiny fairies tucked inside look so content in there.  An abandoned clock would make a lovely fairy home.

    That turned out fantastic. I have a clock sitting on my desk that is begging to be altered, but I just cannot make myself get started on it! This one is perfect...I love the patina on the metal for sure! You have inspired me! Thanks for playing in our final challenge at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!
