Rose Clock
Nickel Silver, Prismacolor Pencils, Clock Movement, Brass Hands

The 2 clocks above were fast and easy to make. I sanded the metal with 400 grit Polishing Papers, stamped the image with StazOn Ink and then etched the metal for 2 hours (in our aerated Etching Tank). When it was finished I drilled (with a drill press) the hole for the clock, easily bent the clock in a 18" bending brake, and installed the Movement. The finished clocks are 4" X 4"
