The Wedding Gift Clock
I wanted to show off my latest earth-friendly clock design. It is another tall one - 6" x 24" - and it was made as a gift for friends of ours who got married in April. I always like making something new for somebody and then offering it as part of my line. So, in the spirit of the rest of my earth-friendly wall clock designs, here is the "Rising Song Long" in barn red and pumpkin orange! (Oh, and it'll be available on our website soon!)

The Alberta Art Hop is This Saturday! (May 17)

I wanted to write a little bit about the Alberta Art Hop, which is coming up this Saturday, May 17th, from 11-6 in the heart of the Alberta Arts District. It's going to be SO much fun! Justin, Jonah and I will be on the street, in addition to over 100 other artists and food vendors, with a full display of clocks, recycled and mixed media art, including Jonah's popular Monster ACEOs and drawings (see http://www.picklesandcheese.etsy.com/).There will also be many local bands and musical groups performing on 4 separate stages. And, need I even mention, the many fine restaurants, galleries and businesses already located along Alberta Street. It is a recipe for a truly fine day, if only it doesn't rain. Last year at this time Justin and I were enjoying a tropical breeze in Hawaii and Jonah was enjoying sunshine and 80 degrees here in Portland with his Grandpa - all this to say that my fingers are crossed for a beautiful day!
Justin Potts will be bringing any amount (read: a huge and awe-inspiring selection) of his body of ink and watercolor drawings in small and medium sizes perfect for matting, framing and impressing your friends, as well as mixed media collages on board, using mostly recycled materials ... take a peak at Justin's art at http://flickr.com/photos/justinpotts/

Custom Wall Clocks For Children - Joshie's Giraffe

After making this giraffe wall clock (more about that later), I wanted to write a little bit about children's wall clocks. While I have made many custom children's wall clocks over the years and, up until recently, offered a line of children's wall clocks through our website, I decided recently that I would no longer offer the line. The main reason being that the clocks are so jigsaw intensive to cut out that I have to price them too high. Instead, I intend to include a small section of photos of the children's clocks that I've made as a portfolio of my style of children's clock.
Joshie's Giraffe is the first children's clock I've made in a very long time, so I'm excited about it and want to show it off. I made it for a baby friend of mine, whose nursery has a jungle theme. The clock is made using sdf (sustainable design board) made from 100% recycled wood pulp and painted with milk paints (voc-free). Earth-friendly equals baby-friendly! It is painted a pumpkin orange with chocolate brown, rich red-orange and cream accents. It has lots of little handpainted design details as well as handpainted numbers on the face for easy readability at the 4am diaper change.
Here are a few more shots, including close-up, detail images - enjoy! And, contact me if you would like to have a wall clock made for your child's room.
