During the summer I found this beautiful old and broken mantle clock - it had no insides but I loved the shape and I knew I wanted to do something fun and festive with it!
I did not take a before photo o sorry my bad....
I started off with a few coats of gesso then added some texture paste - a couple of times until I was happy because snow is not flat and I wanted it to be snowy and festive and cheery! I finally added some large flake glitter and the base was done
My son Tyler painted the clock face for me with chrome paint and I embossed the clock hands with red embossing powder and my hubby assembled them for me
I embossed the Santa Stop here sign and glued it to the one side...then went crazy with the picks from the dollar store and walmart.....
I painted and embossed the Santa and Sleigh 2 in black....I was not sure how I was going to make them look like they are flying and still have them sturdy....my hubby cuts up an old wire hanger and bends the end and has our son Tyler countersink some screw to hold the wire...smart guy I married!
To cover the screws I used a poinsettia and leaves from a dollar store pick.
For some reason it is showing the light as yellow but in real life it shines red!
I will be displaying this piece as a center piece on my dining room table!
