I found this clock case at goodwill, the clock did not work, so I removed the clock parts, painted it and added French Journal paper to the back and added a shelf. I also added some bling. It houses my Halloween altered charlotte dolls.
I found myself collecting nice quality clocks after three were gifted to me. This one was gifted to me by my folks who acquired it in Arizona. I want to say this looks like it was made circa late 1970s. There is exquisite artwork on it. The focus point in the photo is on the face which is not the greatest part of the clock. I say this because the artwork is the focal point of this clock when viewing it in person. The book titles are slightly out-of-focus. They are:
"The Pony Express"
"Journey to the West"
"The Hands of Time"
The clock box maker / artist, did not sign, or put his/her/their mark, on the clock box. The clock works are a cheap battery powered works (which I had to replace as the pendulum stopped swinging). The clock box, and artwork, are outstanding, and I would like to know more about it.
If someone would know who the clock box maker / artist, is/are, please advise.
The laptop inside the frame and secured.
Two additional superglued Lego structures support it from the sides and long bolts stop it tipping back.
That's why the side blocks aren't symmetric -- they're positioned so the bolt ends protrude into a void where there are no keys.
A custom altered clock requested as a Christmas present. I was given the basic clock and a lot of papers from ski holiday's to create something magical.
Cottagey clock made from recyled packing foam and paper clay. This guy measures about 11 inches tall total. Time for fun!!!
Common name: Bengal Clock Vine, Bengal Trumpet Vine, Blue Sky Flower, Blue Sky Vine, Blue Trumpet Vine, Nil lata नील लता (Hindi), Tumakhlung (Gujarati), Nil lota (Bengali)
Botanical name: Thunbergia grandiflora
- [ (thun-BER-jee-uh) named after Carl Peter Thunberg, 19th century Swedish botanist; (gran-dih-FLOR-uh) with large flowers ]
Family: Acanthaceae (acanthus or ruellia family)
- [ (ah-kanth-AY-see-ay) from the Greek Ãikantha, meaning thorn, spine, or spike ]
Origin: India
The Blue Skyflower has been called by some "the most beautiful vine in the world". From a distance, this twining, flowering vine looks like a morning glory and even up close the flowers are quite similar. It is a vigorous evergreen vine that comes from northern India.
From the rope-like stems, that can reach to the top of large structure or even cover a good sized tree, emerge the dark green leaves that are leathery and have a distinctive elongated heart shape, 4-5 inches long and often have a slightly toothed margin. The beautiful 3 inch wide pale blue flowers are cup-like with pale yellow to cream blue striped centers.
This plant can be in bloom at nearly any time of year but will sulk during cold months. Plant in full sun or in a shaded location (this vine will find the sun!) The rampant growth of this vine can be somewhat controlled by giving or withholding irrigation - once established it needs only be watered occasionally.

This is a wall clock which was my grandmother's - it's shaped like a giant pocket watch. I was just messing about with this, and the photos came out a bit unspectacular, with a massive blue tinge and not capturing the antiquey feel of the clock. So Photoshop to the rescue - I played around with the levels a lot, plus contrast, a little yellow Photo Filter and some elements of the pseudolomo technique posted in the Techniques group at

As promised, this is an updated version, but I'm still not sure I'm through with it, so comments would be great.

Since January 1st 2010, I have been taking and uploading one square picture each day to:

Currently sampling paint colors. We wanted an avocado/lime color to match our sofa on the wall behind our hutch/clock. Living with this for a while to see how we like it.
(Clock was a xmas gift I bought for Andis this year. Owls and mid-century Godiva sculpture are family heirlooms we inherited.)
Clock radios fascinate me. For a technology item, people hold on to them much longer than anything else I can think of. I mean, when is the last time you've heard of someone say, "Man, I really should upgrade my clock radio?"
The Papal Basilica of St. Paul , commonly known as St. Paul's outside the Walls, is one of Rome's four ancient, Papal, major basilicas. The Basilica was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine I over the burial place of St. Paul, where it was said that, after the Apostle's execution, his followers erected a memorial. Several buildings have been constructed here since the first basilica was constructed in the 4th century. The current building dates from 1840.
