Folk Art with a Function...

I made the decision to add several washes of acrylic paint
to the head and then use a one step crackle medium.
(I'm hooked on that stuff...)
And a clock it is!   a.k.a. "functional" folk art!
I purchased a quartz movement clock kit that
I will attach to a wonderful old clock face 
that Katie and I found at a local flea market.

  3. This is so amazing. I would never think of using a doll head for anything...You are a junk genius...my guru of trash...HA! I went to auction this evening and found the ugliest handmade grandfather clock ever! I have been so inspired by your work that I decided I could have some fun turning Mr. ugly into art!

  4. Please forgive my ignorance...I'm not seeing the connection between this work and a clock. (Then again, once my daddy said "would ya look at that chopper?" and I asked "where does it chop, daddy?"
