The paper used for the background is a mix of blue colors with the
Belgian/Brabrant type draft horse embossed in brown, with green for the
surrounding greenery. Additional color has been stippled on. The
halter is dark blue.
One rearing brass colored horse charm has
been added for 12:00.
|
 |
For this clock I used the same 3 brass colored galloping horse charms for
3, 6 and 9:00.
The background is a bright blue/turquoise paper with black
embossed horses on gold colored paper.
|
 |
The background paper for this clock consists of black and grey papers mixed together,
with a hint of purple added in. The zebras have been embossed in black and
layered on a piece of black paper.
Three gold zebra charms have been
added for 3, 9 and 12.
|
 |
The image is embossed in dark green with a
burgundy colored paper for the background. The paper is textured and is
very soft to the touch. It reminds of soft, well handled leather.
For 6 and 12 I used a stamped image of a comical dog that has been foamed
taped to the background paper for some additional height and contrast.
They're stamped in a light burgundy ink color.

Various cat sayings have been embossed in red, purple and blue, with a
background of red paper with gold highlights.
Four cat charms in silver,
gold and brass have been used for 3, 6, 9 and 12.
|

The background on this is a fuzzy, flannel feeling paper that's wonderful
to touch and in a dark, forest green color. The three running horses are
embossed in brown ink and additional ink colors were stippled on. There are two galloping horse
charms for 3 and 9, with 3 feathers (brass, silver and gold colored) tied
together with brass wire for 12.
|
 |
The background is a very shiny, purple colored paper that really doesn't
show up well in this photo. Various cat sayings are embossed
in green and purple.
Three different cat charms have been placed for 3, 6
and 9, with a fish skeleton for 12.

The dark green "lava" (highly textured) paper used here picks up the color
used for the grass and some of the leaves in this grouping of Wild Cats.
Everything, but the Wild Cats, has been colored in with colored pencils.
Charms of a running giraffe and zebra have been added for 6 and 12.

The central image is of different petroglyph images, mostly of deer, horses (?) and hunters. I did not
emboss this image as I wanted it to be similar to images found on stones and
walls, all done in grey ink on a lighter grey paper. The background paper
is a rich mix of peach/tan, black, silver and grey - I rather likened it to
stone with lots of metallics in it. Two silver gecko
charms have been added for 3 and 9. For 6 and 12 I embossed a square
of cardboard with 3 layers of gold embossing powder and while it was still warm
I stamped the petroglyph image of a mounted rider, which is similar to an image
on the stamp.

The mulberry paper is a dark grey with darker grey and
white strings in it. The two Snowy Owls have been stamped and embossed
in black ink.
I used two Owl charms for 3 and 9.
The clock hands are
black, even though they look rather silver like in the photo.

Yes, you are correct - I took a photo of this clock when
it was placed upside down. I didn't notice it until after the clock
had already been packed away. So, I moved the photo around, which is
why the arms of the plate stand are on top.
The main image is a grouping of seashells that have been colored in
with different color pencils, all on a tan and white cardstock (to remind
you of a sandy beach). I did not emboss this image as it would have
taken away some of the detail of the shells. The background paper is
light blue with darker blue strings mixed into it.
For 3, 6, 9 and 12 I used two different seashells, as well as a
sand dollar and a seahorse.

I had to turn this clock at a slight angle so you could see the detail on
the embossed mare and foal. The mare has her head over her foal's back and
they're both gazing off at something nearby. They're embossed in
bronze ink on a shiny bronze colored paper. You really can't see all that
in this photo as it was very hard to get a good image of it due to how shiny
everything is. The background is a rough textured, shiny gold paper that
looks absolutely stunning when you see it in person.
The clock hands are black, as any other color disappeared into the
background.
A stamped horse shoe
is set at 12, with a bronze galloping horse charm for 9.

An ancient warrior, getting ready to throw his spear. I think he's
supposed to be Sumerian, but don't quote me on that as I'm not 100% sure.
The tan background paper has colored bits of paper mixed into it and has
been stamped with an image of part of an ancient text/scroll.
Roman numerals have been hand stamped directly onto the background paper.
|
 |
A very dark, ridged purple paper has been used for the background.
This clock has one image in the center, which has various cat sayings on it.
Cat paws have been stamped in the upper right and lower left corners, as well as
a tabby and white kitty in the lower left corner.
Three gold cat charms
are used, as well as the gold fish skeleton.
|
 |
The reddish pink paper used here picks up the color used for the small bit
of ground showing in this grouping of Wild Cats. Everything, but the Wild
Cats, has been colored in with colored pencils.
Charms of a running
giraffe and zebra have been added.
|
 |
Various dog sayings and images have been embossed in navy blue. The
background is red with silver threads intermixed in it.
Two brass colored
dog charms have been added. The dogs are rather generic looking, kind of
reminding me of the RCA dogs, listening to the music (remember those dogs?).

Unfortunately the detail of the playful dolphins doesn't show up very well
in this photo, as the light bounced off the embossing too much (and that was
natural light, as I didn't use a flash). But you can still get the general
idea of the images - I hope!
Up above a dolphin is jumping out of the
water, while below are dolphins swimming underwater. There's actually a
baby dolphin next to the one on the bottom, which is part of the same stamp used
for the ones just above her.
For 3, 6 and 9:00 I used a small dolphin
stamp that's embossed on some cardstock.
The clock hands are black.
The background mulberry paper is a seagreen with darker and lighter green
strings in it.
