This year has been a slow start creatively, but sometimes patience is worth it. I wanted to do bigger clocks and this is one of my first attempts...and I am quite excited.
It is approximately 48 in tall (I think.) It is open in the middle with a pendulum...my first!
I woodburned all the details, which, I think, adds another dimension...and a great smell! I'm really excited about this new direction. I am currently working on one a bit smaller and will try to go bigger, too.
Here is a lovely picture of my newly organized space...wow! But, it seems that organizing isn't all it is cracked up to be...I am now forgetting where I put everything. genius.
Another project in the works. I got this HUGE heavy board from the Habitat ReStore and I loved it so much. (Yes, I realize it might be difficult to understand how you fall in love with a piece of wood, but it happens.) I decided that I really wanted to make it a flat cuckoo clock. And after much thought, I believe I am going to woodburn it and see where it goes from there.
It will be too heavy to hang, but would be a really cool "leaning" piece to lean on you wall, mantle, bookshelf, etc.
Here's to spring! We went to a cabin this last weekend in the Hocking Hills and I think this is the picture of one contented little puppy dog. Ahh, sunny skies, no collar, a large window to look outside and chewing on a stick in the house! I wish you all such joys!
I just found your Etsy store and I LOVE it! I love the bright fun colors of everything. I just posted about it on my blog and then saw that you had a blog also so I had to tell you! :)

Hey there! I found you indirectly through flickr and I'm so glad I did! :) Your art is SO FUN! LOVE IT! But where have you been? Does the story end here? Or is that new direction taking you somewhere that you have no time to blog? I'm on the edge of my seat! Would love to see what you are up to now! :)
