Steampunk Pocket Watch

While at Coleman's Craft Warehouse this week I picked up a pocket watch which was finished in a antique brass effect.

First up was to dismantle it, pull out the inside workings and add some new parts!
Finally it received a paint job with Decoart Traditions and Americana acrylic paint.

 

Note to self: REMEMBER TO TAKE BEFORE PICTURES!!


Right I really must go!
Look forward to seeing those of you booked on my workshop at the Craft Barn on Saturday.

    Looks FAB!
    Does the clock still work, after you added new parts?

    Thanks Ellie, the clock mechanism is the small grey/ silver part in the middle and still works.

    I love the finish that you were able to achieve with just acrylic paint. Great job.
