Winter Wishes Clock

This vintage snowman has been needing a home and I decided to put him back in the Christmas woods.

 MME Noel paper was a perfect backdrop for this winter scene.  The bottle brush trees were dressed up with glitter and vintage mercury glass beads.  A layer of mica snow coats the bottom.

Some tinsel and wire snowflakes complete the interior.

I felt like the back needed to be dressed up on this one.  The plain black felt too harsh.

The Witching Hour Clock

Back with another altered clock and this is a big one!  You can't really tell from the picture, but this clock is about 5 times the size of your average alarm clock.
Halloween is fast approaching and I love creating for this time of year.

The clock was spray painted using a graphite color.  The background paper is from Graphic 45.  The medallion in the middle is from Michael's, as is the hat on top.  There are some sparkly flourishes from Prima too.

I can't wait to decorate the house for Halloween.
I am entering this into a couple challenges:
Vintage Journey with a Flourish challenge
Eclectic Paperie Fall Challenge
Our Creative Corner Autumnal Inspiration Challenge- I was inspired by the gorgeous green leaves that are echoed in the berries on the hat.  The close ups of the wood look like the background on the witchy medallion.  The berries remind me of the color of the background paper.

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!
