I WANT TO CRY.....

After spending quite some time working on my new project. It all went wrong..

I was happily making my clock when I heard a crack..

Not a good sound..

 

The clock body is an old 78 record.

 I cut a 12" circle from a 12 " Kraft sheet of card, using  the EK success Curvy Cutter.

 

 The Roman Numerals have been cut on a Cameo Machine @ 111/2"

 

     The black numerals have been off set to give s shadowed look.

   The gold clock hands will be painted black

 

 

   A closer look at the distressed clock face.

 

The back was made to look like slate. I used  Artist Spackle to give that effect. I left it to dry over night. I then painted it with a black/white mix of acrylic paints.

Looking good I thought. Then came that sickening sound that said "what on earth have I gone and done".

This is the result of the cracking sound...

A full length break right down the middle of the LP.

All that is holding it together is the Kraft card on the front...

I now need to decide, repair or start again, Hmmmmm!

leave it with me and see what happens next..... Will post on next weeks Blog hop.
