Wall clock

Hi there creative friends!

Wall clocks have always been a favorite item for me to create. This time I used the Black Currant Color Splash watered down like water color paint to color the white Little Birdie flowers and I also mixed it with clear soft wax over chalk paint to create depth. I like to combine Steampunk elements with more feminine elements like flowers to create a softer feel.

Supplies

Step 1

Stencil gears with the Mixed Media paste randomly across a circle canvas and leave to dry. Once dry paint the top and sides with a light coloured chalk paint. Leave to dry

Step 2

Stencil Tinted Metallic Paint : Golden Plum randomly through the "Spotty" stencil across the canvas.

Step 3

Adhere twine with Gel Medium to the sides of the circle canvas.

Step 4

Spritz a little Black Currant Color Splash on your craft sheet and dilute with a little water to form water-color paint. Paint some of the white flowers. Leave to dry.

Step 5

Apply clear wax across the surface, then ad dark wax and the Color Splash to create definition and depth. Once dry, dry brush the raised areas with Tinted Metallic paint: Golden Plum.

Step 6

Insert the clock mechanism but do not attach the clock arms yet. You can put the battery in. Decorate with flowers and gears, e few buttons and pearls. Finally ad the arms and your done!
