One of the yahoo groups I am in is running an 'IT' girl swap. Each month everybody makes a gift for the member who is the 'IT' girl for that month, and who sets the theme. Jessie's theme is 'TIME', so what could be more appropriate than a clock?
I took inspiration from Diana Twedt, whose work I love. She often creates frames using foam board and scraps of paper.
The clock is made from foam board, covered in brown paper, then scraps of textured papers. I painted it with black gesso, then gave it two coats of Golden's iridescent copper paint, before rubbing it with several colours of Treasure Gold, and giving it a good polish with a dried out baby wipe to shine it up.
I then added the clock fixings, and some small black gems to act as 'numerals'.
The picture below shows the detail a little better:
I hope Jessie likes it.

Love what you do with paper!!! So gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI really like the texture that you've achieved. Your work really helps me think about broadening horizons. I particularly like the black gems as the numbers, letting the texture and coppery and gold rich colors be the focus of your piece.
