altered clockface

Hi all ...
Some time ago my wonderful blog friend Anne encouraged me to apply for the blogger outreach program the decoart company is running. I SO love and adore their delicious and very versatile products, all the more since I've been so lucky to join various of Sir Andy's workshops, live and online.
I already have a small stock of their stuff and thought I'd start with kind of a rusty steampunk clockface. Hence I purchased a clock in a € store, it's about 34cm in diameter.
This project was done for the de stempelwinkel designteam blog.

supplies used

from decoart
(and stampendous)

others

gesso
sanding block

acrylic paint bronze

embossing ink

cogs die

foam paint roller 

stampendous embossing enamel aged copper

various acrylic paints from my stash

First I dismantled the clock :-) and primed the clockface with gesso.
Then I started experimenting on how to apply paint onto it without that looking gruesome ... Mark , my wonderfully talented and imaginative blogfriend who is a member of the international decoart design team, saved me - once more - by suggesting to try a foam paint roller, which I did. Now it was trial and error, sanding back colour, adding colour (washes of quin gold, a little white ...) until I was satisfied somewhat. It still looked a bit naked so I stamped the background, finally I added some of the embossing enamel and sealed everything with Decoart ultra matte varnish.

I die cut the cogs from rather thin cardboard and dry embossed them after I painted them with silver acrylic paint. Then layers and washes of  various other acrylic paints were added and sanded back (aquamarine, blue green light, quin gold, black). For the numbers I experimented with a slightly different technique.
When all the single parts were done I wrapped some wire around the clockface and added the pieces.
Unfortunately the clock doesn't work anymore - no surprise there - but I think it's still kind of an eyecatcher when it will be hanging on the wall ...

Hope you like this a bit.

Hugs, Suzanne xx

Art Journal spread 'time' - de stempelwinkel

Hi and good morning all ...
Today I'm sharing an Art Journal spread over on the de stempelwinkel designteam blog.

I wanted to use my new gorgeous art doll 'time' stamp and loooked for a quote on the web.
I love this one:
The time you enjoy wasting is no wasted time. It's by Bertrand Russell and I feel it fits especially us crafty people as well as introverts and/or HSP :-) So three birds with one stone.
I hope you'll pay a visit to de stempelwinkel designteam blog and will enjoy it a bit. Please stop by there any other day to see what my awesome fellow DT members are up to.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend everyone
