Colour Theme - Cuckoo Clock

Hello!!!! Lisa here today with inspiration for this weeks challenge theme. It is of course, a colour theme week and they are a gorgeous variety of colours too. And defo one of my favs.... Purple!!! I just love any shade of purple!!!

For this week, I decided to work with Tando's Cuckoo Clock. I really like working with anything that can be displayed and used rather than spending hours creating something then sticking it in a drawer!
I enjoyed every step of creating this clock and I think I will be creating another one in the future. 

So here goes....

First, I put together all the layers of the Tando cuckoo clock then painted it with a quick coat of gesso.

I made templates for the windows and clock face and stamped and coloured them with Distress Ink and painted the rest of the clock with acrylic paint.

I used the Tando stripes mask for the roof area to give it some texture.

Then, I painted the numbers and clock hands with black gesso and randomly went over the top with gilding flakes.

I added a metal owl embellishment and metal wings to the top  of the clock to act as the cuckoo.

To finish, I added some clear glaze over the widows to make them glossy and added some plaited jute string for the winding chains. 

Here are all the Tando products I used:

Thanks for popping by,
