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.

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