Maker Mama Craft Blog: Thrifted Clock Redo
One of the things I always see at thrift stores are random pot lids in cute colors without a pot to go with them. I came up with the idea of turning one into a clock while shopping at my local Goodwill the other day, with the thought that I'd purchase a clock kit at the craft store. But for the sake of keeping it as green as possible (and making one less shopping trip) I decided to give an old clock new life, and voilà, the thrifted clock redo was born! What makes this project even better is that supplies--and time--are minimal. Every clock is a little different, so inspect the mechanism on the back carefully to see if it looks detachable. Now just find a wall to hang your clock and listen to it's sweet little ticking. Disclosure: I received a gift card from Goodwill SA to purchase the thrifted items in the post.
Painting with Watercolors for Beginners
Before I started writing this post, I decided to conduct some online research on painting with watercolors for beginners. That way, I reasoned, I wouldn’t gloss over any points, and I could craft an altogether better post. And … holy moly. I use watercolors all the time, and the information I found on Google overwhelmed me. After three too many mind-boggling articles, I threw up my hands and decided that I’m showing you how I, personally, “do” watercolors — and the adjective for my watercolor approach is “simple”. Supplies First, I want to create a supply list for you. The set I have and prefer is from Greenleaf & Blueberry. Whatever set you decide on, the first thing you should do upon receiving your watercolors is create a color chart. Next, it’s time to think about brushes. Brushes will vary by artist; since I’m writing about my personal watercolor painting style, I’ll go over the brushes I keep in my artillery. Paper is also important. Paint Opacity 1. 2.
