Wooden Clock Welcome To JKDriftwood

I'd like to say that I have almost stopped making decorations due to my illness which has touched me. I have been completely derailed from my rhythm of computer, work, home, handicrafts, computer. Yet I have pulled myself together to realize that aside from worries and thoughts of finding ways to heal my constant dizziness there is something which gives me relief and joy. Designing.

I become the owner of some oak planks and decided to make several clocks. Each of the pieces even in their raw state has charm and I longed to look into their soul. 
These now belong to my small collection of large, wood, country style clocks.
 Each of the clocks was made in a similar style ie. it has been engraved, using a 3D technique and special paste as well as being painted.
The first clock is very readable and I think it is my favourite. It has engraved roman numerals, which I've made more visible by painting. Because I have been collecting miniature paintbrushes for a long time, they have finally found their use in this project.

Handcrafted Country Wall Clock 

Engraved Wood 

The whole work is of course super polished. The clock is available in my shop.
There is a small piece of wooden trunk in my house converted into my mini chair. It has cracked and curled naturally. Very useful for photo shooting.



While waiting for spring I decided dress things up and besides finishing the remaining clocks, I photographed my work of art from last year. Next week I will showcase the clock with a fruit motif and pittorico shading and I wonder what do you think?

  5. I'm so sorry to read that you have been under the weather.. so not fun! But how wonderful that you are able to take your mind off of it, as best you can, with creating. What would we do without that capability??! I did a post about being under stress and how I found relief in my studio. Makes a world of difference! Your clocks are so delightful and really showcase your talent. Love seeing functional art!
