What Time Is It?

Well, you wouldn’t know if you had this clock! I guess this is why it was donated to Goodwill.  No hands and no actual mechanism on the back.

I saw some potential in this piece and I liked the clock portion at the top.  I was seeing either a chalkboard or memo board where the Irish prayer is on the lower portion {I had to stick that back in because I started taking it apart before I took pictures!}.

First a new look with paint.  I stopped in our local Ace Hardware {which carries Benjamin Moore paints} and bought a 2 ounce sample pot of a gray shade called Eternity {AF-695} for all of $3.99.   The clock insert got Antique White.

Since I painted and that meant painting over the existing clock face I used one that I found online. 

I can’t remember if this was from Karen at The Graphics Fairy or another generous blogger who was offering clock faces a few months ago.  I Mod Podged it on where the original clock image was.

A clock kit that I had purchased for another project worked out well for this. 

For the bottom portion, I decided to go the memo board route and used some cork that I bought a couple of weeks ago.  I covered it with a French Script fabric in grey, that I’ve had for awhile now.

Here I just need to add the hands to the clock but I couldn’t resist taking a picture.

A couple of decorative push pins and it’s ready to tell you the time and hold some of your important messages.  Now for sale in my Etsy!  And, the clock works!

Don’t forget my Pick Your Plum giveaway going on through April 26, 2012.  This is for $75.00 worth of swag!  You can see some pictures of previous giveaway items on that blog post.
