Time waits for no one

Halloween is the perfect time for rust and patina.  This Tim Holtz clock was rusted up using Ten Seconds Patina paints.  

The plastic angel was painted using the same paints, but a different patina.  This is a copper patina finish.  The angel was some type of cheap candle holder.  I snapped the angel off the base and painted her all over.  She has tiny wings, but I wanted big wings.  I grabbed these Melissa Frances wings that I have been saving for just the right project.  I used layers of distress ink to color them.  They are hooked right onto the original wings and glued in place.  

The flowers are all either dyed with Distress sprays or inked with Distress inks to age them.  The tulle is ripped and singed with my heat gun.  Heating the tulle makes it melt and curl.  

Lots of moss and tulle are tucked all around the angel.  

Remember time waits for no one.

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.

Assemblage Clock Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 10

Back with another Linda Ledbetter Compendium Challenge.  This time the sponsor is The Funkie Junkie.  The prizes for this challenge are just awesome.  There are still plenty of projects in the book if you want to join in the fun!


The little fairies are Found Relatives that I plunked in their tart tin boat.  I love using these guys.  I wasn't able to put the glass back in my clock(the tin was too big), so that allowed me to flow more flowers out of the front.
I used gesso and Distress Paint, in Bundled Sage and Forrest Moss, to cover the clock.  Once it was dry I alcohol ink to age it a bit.  The background is from the Wallflower paper.

This was super simple to make.  The fairy boat to the longest and I had already done that part earlier!
I love to alter clock and will have a Halloween one to show you shortly.  Be sure to check back!
