Time Flies

My extraordinary friend Richard loves clocks . . . so much so that he's got a two story section of wall covered with them.  The joy of them wears a little thin when the two annual time changes roll around and it takes a very long ladder to re-set them, but Richard is only in his mid-eighties and is more than willing to cope.  Which is why I call him "extraordinary".  Naturally, his birthday card features a clock theme . . .

I've collected a stash of watch and clock parts for years because I really love the intricate look of them, so it was fun to put them to work here.  The problem was adhering them, as there's not that much solid metal surface to work with.  I decided that two-sided glue dots were the best solution as they're so strong.  But even the smallest dots left some glue exposed, so I dusted them with a dark gold glitter that works well with the aged brass of the clockworks.  Not too much pizzazz - just a bit of shimmery interest . . .
