Timo has this great clock at his house. For some reason this 1960s effect was my favourite with the picture.
Steadily paced, the hands are crawling like a stream of water of the calmest sea. The cat, as the cat normally do, wondered why the clock is ticking so slow that his big night seemed centuries away.
August 30, 2025 - "The Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower is an icon of the old Cape Town harbour. It was the original Port Captain's Office built in 1882. The pointed Gothic windows surrounds the structure with a clock, imported from Edinburgh, as a main feature. The red walls are the same colour as they were in the 1800's, having been carefully matched to scrapings of the original paint.
On the second floor there is a decorative mirror room which allowed the captain an overall view of harbour activities.
On the ground floor is a tidal gauge mechanism which was used to check the level of the tide for ships entering or leaving the docks.
The Clock Tower has begun to lean to one side, about 50 mm. This has since been arrested.
The tower has been a focal point in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront's urban renewal."

ok, so i recut the stencil to make the dog head a little bigger, thinking it might fill the space a bit better. and i added the little heart shaped tag off the collar. and i changed the bones number markers to black, cuz i felt like the white was just making it too bright. and i like the brown better as a background color.
i'm pretty happy with it.

The highly architectural shape of this portico clock and its design elements were often found in the furnishings typical of the style that developed under Napoleon's reign, inspired by Percier and Fontaine's architectural drawings. Two piers support an entablature upon which is seated a figure of Cupid holding two chained lions: this motif is a reprise of the Romanesque house front, attesting to the decorator's antique tastes. The piers are decorated with a pair of gaines, each bearing a head characteristic of the prevailing craze for all things Egyptian. The Shiny metal ornaments emerging from a mat bronze ground are also from the period's decorative vocabulary: masks, animals driving chariots pulled by other animals and allegorical winged figures. The enamel clock face bears the name of the clockmaker, Jacquet, who was based in Gisors, Normandy.

The Wells Cathedral clock is an astronomical clock in the north transept of Wells Cathedral, England. The clock is one of the group of famous 14th to 16th century astronomical clocks to be found in the West of England.
Built around 1392 and has been in almost continuous use ever since. It is the second-oldest surviving clock in England (the oldest is at Salisbury Cathedral).
In the 1600s the original horizontal swinging beam mechanism called a foliot balance was replaced by a pendulum and anchor escapement to improve timekeeping. The clock also drove a display of automata figures which can still be seen at Wells every 15 minutes.
"The future has been shrinking by one year per year for my entire life. I think it is time for us to start a long-term project that gets people thinking past the mental barrier of an ever-shortening future. I would like to propose a large (think Stonehenge) mechanical clock, powered by seasonal temperature changes. It ticks once a year, bongs once a century, and the cuckoo comes out every millennium."

A local graphic designer hooked me up with some new business cards!
These will be made available soon, and the white will be transparent. Love it.
There is another design coming that will be the "everyday" card as these are a little more costly and will be reserved for those more special occasions/people/etc.
