If you love old vintage rusty treasures, here’s a project you can try, and add some of your art to. Find an old alarm clock. Take it apart. Save the insides, for another project, see below. I scanned the clock face to make a paper copy and glued to a piece of cardboard, to work with. Add your Paperwhimsy collage images and bits. Reassemble and add a ribbon, and you have a funky little piece to display. I added a Paperwhimsy charm, word and elements from a some digisheets, and a bit of lace.
Many of the older alarm clocks will have metal gears that you can also use in your steampunk collages. I added a watch face and metal spinner to this collage.
Items I used from the Paperwhimsy shoppe:
Digisheets #71, #29, #70, and #73
Oh baby! I love steampunk and these pieces turned out fabulous Rande! I have a few old clocks and I’m headed off to take them apart!
Sure wish I would have saved the old clocks from Moms. This is FAB! Hey Carol…got an extra? hahah
Off to the second hand store!
This clock piece is awesome Rande!! Now I have to go dig around in the attic and see if I can find my old alarm clock.
