Have been making a few things this week including starting my new clock I was inspired when I found a round canvas and just couldnt find a clock I liked heres the canvas
Its been painted with wax and then Lacqered, just need to find some hands for it now and put some symbols on for the numbers any ideas at all?
I also had a commission for a pearly type necklace with the letter N on it here it is
Do you like my new stand it was for taking photos of children clothes but I think it lends itself well to Jewellery display so I may retake some of my photos this week
Today we went to the Alton show it was very interesting lots of animals and crafts about
Here are a few animal pictures taken at the show
The girls rolled their own candles in the bee keeping tent it was very easy and made a lovely souvenir
after which we went into the craft tent where I met a couple of lovely crafters we bought a lovely tortoise pin cushion that has elastic on it so you can have it on your arm from these lovely ladies they also do courses in curtain making

Looks like it was a great day out. Try colckparts.co.uk for clock numbers as well as movements. Or maybe use buttons?
ReplyDeleteI love the canvas, that will be great as a clock. I enjoyed reading about your day out too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you had and all those goodies. Used to live in Alton and now only 7 miles away but always forget about visiting the show, maybe next year
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great fair. Forget the clock just paint 2 more round canvas' like this one and display them on a white wall. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe canvas will make a lovely clock face. Good to hear you had a great day at the fair.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day out and such cute buys too. Perhaps get some wooden numbers and paint them for the clock?
ReplyDeletewooden nos sound quite a good idea I was thinking of roman numerals prob just 12 3 6 and 9
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas I may do some more canvasses too although becuse of the surface being rough rather than smooth its harder to maneuver the wax xx
I love the tortoise! He needs a name.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely day.
As for clock hands - I just buy mine off of ebay. A shame but truth lol
Looks like a fun fair - I love the ones with animals as well.
ReplyDeleteI think some large, flat back pearls or crystals for the 12-3-6-9 number places on the clock would look lovely against the background.
