Continuing work on the Miss Lydia Pickett Cottage Clock in 1:12 scale by Robin Betterley’s Miniatures.
After sanding down the gesso primer coat, I painted the clock Greenscape by Folk Art and finished with Delta Ceramcoat Satin Varnish. The artwork for the body and base is from The Graphics Fairy. I used the image as is for the base but then used elements from the original to create a design for the body in PhotoShop.
I printed on paper and then cut the pieces to fit. The inserts were later glued in place using Mini Graphics Wallpaper Mucilage. As you can see, the clock face pendant no longer worked since it was darker than the artwork and seemed to be lost.
I printed a regular clock dial in a similar color to the body art as a replacement. Much better.
I painted the clock face trims and the finial Taupe Metallic by Folk Art. I painted some accents in the same color on the body and base.
I used the Cricut to cut cardstock circles to fill in the upper hole. I glued these in place with tacky glue before gluing the clock face with Mini Graphics Wallpaper Mucilage.
The final steps include adding the hands, the glass insert and other small details that are too much for tonight. :D Back soon…
