Wall clock

Saw the post from Lieke about wanting a wall clock, so I went to the second hand shop and bought me some supplies.

I didn't get the piece of wood for the background, and I didn't paint, but I got something that I think works just as well:

Isn't he cute?

I also bought an old clock, hoping it would still work (and it did):

Ugly thing

In step 1 I unscrewed everything, so the lid came off and I had the clock itself:

Looks better without the lid than with...

Motor and hand, just pull them off

 In step 2 I superglued the motor part to the back of the painting, after having made a small X-incision in the center with a cutter:

Glue the clock, not your fingers

 And the finished result:

Tick tock

Hung it in the bathroom, since it fits

 After having hung it, I took off the hand for the seconds, since it was ticking very loudly. Who needs detailed timing anyway?

Pretty easy to do, and not all that bad looking either!

Why I should not go shopping

 There is a reason why I shouldn't go shopping at a second hand shop, most importantly I come home with stuff I don't need. Today I went out to find a teapot (next post will show you why), and I came home with a 'new' sweater, skirt and plate. and of course the teapot :-)
