I've been tinkering around with many different materials the last couple weeks. First, let's see some new desk clocks:
 |
| California Poppy |
 |
| Field Daisy |
 |
| Partridge-Peas |
 |
| Thistle |
 |
| Mayflower |
I found a 1964 field guide to North America's wild flowers, and the images are just the perfect size to fit my mini table top clocks. They're listed on Etsy. I want to make a gazillion more, but I also want to make a different line of work that is categorized as "non-clock" and I'm really trying to actually plan this stuff out. So I've been having fun playing around.
Here's some of the prototypes:
 |
Large painted nails and string from the barn, leftover wood for the frame,
and salvaged painted wood as the backer. |
 |
| 8 x 10 matboard, early 1900s booklet pages, paint, vinyl. |
 |
| 5 x 7 matboard, painted hymnal page, vinyl. |
 |
| 5 x 7 matboard, 1970s seed catalog page, paint, vinyl. |
I don't know quite where I'm going yet with the nail things, but I'm ruminating...I really like the TV and the skeletons, which will fit in with my small anatomical hearts...
 |
But here's a biggie!
10 x 12 including frame; found wood, paint, "fabric paper," vinyl |
 |
| I have many more painted papers to play with, so watch out! |
I'm getting ready for a yard sale this weekend--my first ever! There are two or three bins of old art I'm going to try to unload and maybe some clocks that just never sold but are fine otherwise. If you're in KC, check out the Hyde Park Neighborhood Yard Sale on Saturday, June 14th (my half-birthday, BTW, in case you want to drop by some cupcakes or half of a whole cake). Hopefully it won't be sweltering and/or raining...?
