Tick-tock, Tick-tock what can I do with an ordinary clock?
One day my friend and I were out "junking" and came across some wall clocks. There was a big pile of clocks to sort through. We each decided to purchase one for the grand amount of $1.98. I chose a round metal silver clock that I could alter.

Yesterday I started to alter my clock. I pulled out my trusty old ledger paper, antique French book pages, a vintage children’s book, sari ribbon and an image of a little girl. I tore, folded and wrinkled my papers then glued them to the clock. I wrapped sari ribbon around the papers to hold them in place. I then pulled out my favorite Golden Paints and painted several layers over the top of my papers. The paint on top of the words added a very nice depth. As the frame was drying I worked on the clock face. I collaged, painted and then attached my very favorite little girl image. I added the words Looking Forward from the vintage children’s book. I am always looking forward to my next project so I was very pleased that I found those words. I now have a very less than ordinary clock hanging in my studio.

Tick-tock, Tick-tock this is what I did with an ordinary clock.
