WIP Clock: YES IT'S DONE!!!

Do I need to say more?

I don't think so, yes I finally got over the whole clock mechanism issue, and well its now sitting on my desk ticking away. With having a closed back/lid you can barely hear it tick. It's a swell piece.

Also to note whilst I haven't gotten round to it my stores will be going on vacation till after Christmas, I just need to work on when I open it again. This is mainly down to being sucked into the world of www.projectforawesome.com seriously check it out it happens once a year over a period of 48hrs. It started today, and is for promoting charities, by taking over youtube!

So go and check it out.

Last chance to order!

Coming up to the last dates for shipping in time for Christmas, please note that this is now only for UK customers. International orders are no longer available until the New Year.

My last day for shipping is the 17th!!! Owing to a conflicting work schedule.

So don't delay, order today!

but, I've hit a snag. I'm a little disheartened.

The mechanism I've got I've not only frelled up the back from attaching something to the wrong side, but I don't think the shaft length is going to work. Actually as I write this I’ve come up with the solution, but I just have to hear back from the company I got the original movement from.

So hopefully all is not lost. Moral of this story, never underestimate how thick card covered in fabric, and not just think it will be fine. Ah, well I do love a challenge.

WIP Day 11: The Structure

 

And it's cracking along rather nicely.

In fact shortly after I took this photo I had mounted the embroidery/clock face, so the exterior pieces are pretty much done. Now it's onto getting the interior sorted but I think I might stitch the outside together first. I can't decide what would be best. I'll figure that out during work....
