Keeping Time With the "Rhythm" of Life
February 9th, 2009 in projects
I started with several ideas on what to do for the challenge, which means I scrapped several attempts to make something good out of the rolls of paper. Anyway, when I decided to do something with the old clock that I took apart, I wasn't sure what I was going to put back in there until I found the big pocketwatch at the swap meet last Sunday, then things started falling into place. I first painted the wooden box with a milk paint called Olde Parchment, glued the paper from the rolls inside the box, and then mounted a block of old molding from the back and a hook on top of that to hold the clock. I used the ends of the rolls with round earring parts glued on top for finials for the top of the box, added a cute little vintage pull and a piece of junk that I don't know what it is , to hold an old photo. The words to my song semed to be a rousing patriotic ditty that made little sense to me, but were added down the side of the box for the graphic effect.
After you make it, show it off to other members in the Member Junk area.

You’ve really came through with a fantastic “challenge” project. All the components were destined to be together. It’s a very complete creation with the materials, colors and theme perfectly matched to one another.
Your talent is taking elements that most people wouldn’t think of putting together and creating things that we would all love to own, this creation is one example.
I look forward to all your projects and this is one of the best.

You made a beautiful piece out of a difficult medium to work with. But, I must say that your project title is what struck me the most. The Rhythm of Life was a great metaphor to work with and you did a wonderful job of portraying that.
You are one talented & special gal.
