Technique Tuesday!
This is one of the easiest projects to do, but with such satisfying results! I started by buying a premade clock works with a swinging pendulum. This one was ready to hang on the wall just as is. The other main thing you will need is an old CD. I used one of the vast collection of AOL CDs that I still have hanging around the studio. One down, 99 more to go!
Materials and tools:
CD
Clock works and battery
Gesso
Acrylic paints (crimson, burgundy, citrine, purple/gold halo)
Printouts on vellum
Acrylic medium or glueSponges
Small brushes
Heat gun
Scissors
Waxed paper

He just uses them for the flashy dangly parts! Heat them before you cut them to prevent shattering, and drill or poke a hole through the top :-)
I got a question, You said you have a friend that uses the cds to make fishing lures. Any idea how he does this. Why my husband hobby is making fishing lures also (keeps him busy, thank goodness) and I was just wondering. Thanks for your work here
I’ll be back. Love in Jesus’ Love Myrtle
