Paper Plate Clock!

Hello!
It's half term here this week, but Keiran has had a bit of a cold so we've been taking it easy. We have done a little crafting together though, and Keiran even made a clock!


Would you believe that this is actually a working clock made using a paper plate, three marbles, a frying pan and some paint?! Quite simply, you put a paper plate in a frying pan, dip your marbles in different coloured paints and drop them onto your plate, then roll them around to make your pattern. We then cut out some Die-Namics numbers in matching colours and I then added the clock movement which I picked up on Ebay for about £1. 
It was meant to adorn his bedroom wall, but it ticks too loudly, so it's in the hallway now!

Keiran wants to enter this into a challenge, so the only relevant one I could find this week was The Crafty Blogger's Network - Anything Goes

Ok...back shortly with a card from me! :)

Anything but a card for Crafting for all Seasons!

Good afternoon!
What a miserable, wet Wednesday it is! Keiran and I have finished all our errands this morning, and after I have posted this, we are going to curl up on the sofa and watch Wall-E, and eat crisps and chocolate! Cheaper than the cinema! 

Ok so it's new challenge time at Crafting For All Seasons and this fortnight it's

ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

And we are sponsored by
who is generously offering a $10 gift gift card to our winner!

Here is my offering...








I decided to make clocks for my project as I have had the mechanisms in for months now and not got round to using them! I have used 8x8 mount board and various rub ons and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Oh and some gems! 

Some close-ups...



I really enjoyed making these and I shall definitely be making more!

Thanks for stopping by...of to watch our film now! :)
