Challenging myself - UPDATE with pics

[Debbie J]

That is really nice. Where are you going to hang it?

[Holly]

I think it is terrific, and it would match my scraproom to a T! (Hint-Hint)

[Ruth Ann Landry]

great job, julie...I have wanted to try something like this...maybe now I'll get the nerve to try it, too!

[jfugina]

Thanks everyone! Holly - it matches my scraproom too, so it's probably not going anywhere. And given that Nicole helped quite a lot, I think she'd be sad to see it go.

I need to find a nice prominent space on the wall where I can pound an anchor and nail. That slab of wood is pretty dang heavy, so getting it hung is going to be no small task.

That turned out great Julie. What a great job.

[pamcook]

I wondered if it was heavy. It's really very pretty. Nice job, you two!

[jfugina]

Yeah Pam, it's heavy enough that I wouldn't want to just use a nail. It's an 11.5x11.5" piece of particle board and it's about an inch thick. It was nearly too thick for the clock mechanism, and if I'd used a thick cardstock to cover the board, it wouldn't have gone together.

Something else I've thought of though, since doing this last night, was that I remember buying just the clockworks at Michaels once, a long time ago. I was wondering if I still had that, because it struck me that I should totally make an inchie clock.

Oh Yes! That would be really cool too!

[jfugina]

It would, wouldn't it??? And I know full well that I have enough inchies to do it without even having to do another swap.

That came out pretty, Julie.

Looks great, Julie!

I have a CD case made into a clock that I bought as a kit years ago.... I may have to dig it out and update it a bit. (was way too into heavy applications of glitter glue at the time )
