Reverse box canvas for Mitform Castings

 Hi there

Today I have my inspiration piece for Mitform Castings as their design team member.

I have used a box canvas and reversed it to create a shaddow box.  I fussy cut various pieces from the 12x12 Lady Vagabond papers and used the Mitform pieces to finish the composition.

Time Machine for Mitform Castings

 

Today I have a little time machine created from an old clock base I found at a flea market.

I decided not to paint the clock or the metal pieces as they worked so well together in their original form.

There is a little engineering involved in this piece as I had to use a drill to make holes for the hinges and clock hands so that the doors could open and shut and the clock hands could hold them closed when the time machine is not in use..

I found that the 2 half circle pieces that make a full circle fitted the opening perfectly.  I glued the door handle onto the side with the circle and then glued some hinges to the edges.  Finally I drilled holes for the hinges into the clock base.

Next, I glued the steam shape on and added glue to the rim of the top of the clock and added the nice big gear.

I drilled a hole to fit the bolt that I screwed the two clock hands onto in the famous ten to two clock hand position... used on advertisements for clocks and watches to make it look like it is smiling.

Now the clock hands hold the doors closed when you are not using it.

and can be swung upwards when you want to put the light on inside and see Lady Vagabond in her music room.

I put paper on the floor and walls 

Tin foil on the roof to help reflect the light and added lights with double sided tape.

Now you can see Lady V nicely inside.
