Next up is this exquisite altered clock by Robin Shakoor. This is a wonderful example of how fun and unique altered art can be! Robin decorated this old clock in our new collection Olde Curiosity Shoppe. Just look at how the gorgeous colors and patterns make this clock a one-of-a-kind treasure! Here is what Robin had to say about this lively creation!
Can you believe I altered this beautiful clock using only scraps of paper? I have had this clock for quite some time and other paper lines just didn’t fit the bill. The first time I saw the Olde Curiosity Shoppe collection I knew it would be perfect for this project.
I love how the clock base opens to reveal two hidden compartments. I made two mini books and decorated the inside of the door. I added drops of pearls and further embellished the clock with flowers and butterflies that were cut from paper in the collection.
Supplies:
Petaloo: Flowers
Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

I am a fan of clocks and Robin sure took my breath with this one. Dose she do classes on her projects? I would be there! I also liked the picture frame. i would have made it more brown for me but then that is just me. Can't wait to get project info for it. Thank you to All who take time to create their passions and then sharing them.

Both projects just took my breath away. That clock by Robin is spectacular, and Nancy's photo album alone is gorgeous but even more so by the frame she has added. Wow ladies what an inspiration you both are.
