It started out as an average (as my cousin Jennifer would say) “commercial” brown clock. It was pretty but not exciting so I had to spice it up a little!
I painted 2 coats of the Antique White acrylic, let that dry and then glazed it with the Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze. I cut a circle the size of the face of the clock with a cute piece of scrapbook paper I had to cover the face of the clock. I then disassembled the clock (hoping I would be able to get it back together again), punched a hole through the front of the “new face” with a pin (punching the hole through the print side of the paper makes for a smooth hole on the front side) and reassembled the clock. This was a very quick project and I love the completed transformation! Enjoy! I will be posting this at Make Your Monday over at Twice Remembered... Check it out!!! http://twiceremembered.blogspot.com/2009/08/make-your-monday-week-five-add-your.html

I LOVE it! Oh my, it's like night and day! The smoke glaze really brought out the nice details, didn't it?! The paper you used for the face is really pretty, too, and I love the simplicity of leaving it clutter free without numbers. Excellent job!
It looks really unique!
I love your sweet clock. What a great creative idea.
