Burned, Beaded & Upcycled Bohemain Pendulum Clock


    
     I started working on this clock around the middle of the year and I'm so excited to say that it's nearing completion! I found this pendulum wall clock in a friend's storage building while rummaging through a mound of stuff they were just going to throw out. It wasn't the prettiest thing in the world and wasn't in the best of shape, but it had great bones and tons of potential...so I thought I'd give it some good lovin' and see if I could bring it back to life. After hour and hours and hours of work, this is where I find myself with it...



     The outer shell of the clock is pyrographed (wood burned) in an all original, zentangle "lace-like" design and stained in the most vibrant array of colors possible. It features leafy greens, sky blues, passionate purples, punches of pink and pops of oranges and yellows...so, basically, it's a rainbow! Did I mention that I LOVE rainbows?!
