Andy Skinner Clock Class. . . . . . .

Last weekend I was lucky enough to attend a workshop run by the very talented Andy Skinner and I do urge you to go and have a look at his work if you're not familiar with it. It really was an amazing class and I had fun with some lovely people including Alison and Mark.

I thought I would share the picture of the clock I made which incorporates some of Andy's timeworn techniques. I'm also doing his on line Timeworn Paint Techniques course. I can highly recommend this if you're interested in paint techniques. I'm learning so much and over the coming weeks and months I hope to incorporate some of them into my crafting.

The clock base we used came as part of a Tando kit and this is the first time I've used one of their products - I've now got my eye on one of their Christmas kits. . . . .

Here's my clock which now has pride of place in my craft room:

The clock has a working mechanism so isn't merely decorative.

I aged the centre of the hand movement using a stick on gem coloured with some gold and black acrylic paint.

I chose a gorgeous vintage paper for my clock face.

I just love the look achieved using the timeworn techniques. Looks just like aged, rusted metal doesn't it?

Hope you enjoyed looking at my clock - even my Husband thinks it's wonderful!
