tick tock goes the clock!

well it is challenge time over and the stampman and the theme is time/ travel..so i decided to do...a
3-d piece using arts parts and I know this will come as a shock..but i used brown and none other than vintage photo. so here it is :
talking about time, don't know where the time goes..1 minute it is Friday night and the next it is Sunday night.. i am sure the week does not go that fast!!!
I decided to make a 3-d piece and started by using these fab arts parts spools, which i coloured in vintage photo and stamped with clocks from a new sheet of paperartsy stamps..to give clock detail. To go round the spindle part i used the stamp and rolled the arts part across it.I then used a pocket watch stamp and matching part from the artistic stamper to make the pocket watch in the centre of top piece, added some glossy accents to the face and some idea-ology spinners.
The sentiment is from there too, i added this onto some clearly for art and attached behind the clock/pocket watch.
Finally i added lots of mini clock charms, chain and ide-ology goodies!!
let me know what you think..it didn't quite turn out as it did in my head!?!

  2. It is an amazing piece Trace, I love art parts and use them quite often but I have never managed to get a pattern on the stem like you have, great ideal to roll it over the stamp. Love the browns, the pocket watch is brilliant and all the other time pieces are perfect. I also like the clock hand on the stem too. Love the whole thing! A x

  12. Oh wow, this is stunning. I love those art part spools but haven't tried them yet, you've really inspired me with this. Your pocket watch on the top looks so real. It's amazing what you can do with just a bit of ink!!!
