My entry for the Anything Goes challenge is this old Kaisercraft clock I found when I was setting up my craft room again. I was going to sell it but set it aside and set myself the challenge of finally putting it together.
The clock came with a photo frame for three photos and a stand. I thought the wooden photo frame was too bulky so I left it off and treated the clock base like an art canvas. The stand just took up too much room so I didn't use that either.
This project is about as close to mixed media that I can get. I adhered a very old piece of paper that had the look of a lot of texture to the clock base and blended the paper with the base using paint (two shades of green). Once the paint dried, I added some Prima gold crackle texture paste through a chicken wire stencil in various spots. Then I added green and gold paint through the reverse chicken wire stencil. I then coloured some texture paste with blush Heidi Swapp Colour Shine to match the flowers on the paper. I used the coloured texture paste with a butterfly stencil and added splotches of it on the edges of the clock base. Lastly, I added drops of perfect pearls in three different colours.
Here's a close up of the top left corner where you can see the butterfly, texture paste splotches, stencil work and perfect pearls drops.
Lastly, a close up of the top right of the clock showing the clock mechanism and the gold crackle paste.
