It's TIME for a glimpse of Spring....

...Once Upon a Springtime, that is! This is the Altered item I'm sending to Graphic 45 for the finals of their Design Team call. It is such an honor to be among the 25 chosen to be in the finals. This Fairy Clock is a real working clock and also holds a mini Album. I gave a peek at this on Ustream last night. I will post the mini that fits in behind the clock tomorrow....











Have an awesome rest of your weekend!

    Oh my goodness, this is sooooooo gorgeous, and I really hope, that you´ll sell this one too later, when you have won the seat among this designteam??? It´s just so stunning work hun, and I´m just on the roll making clocks right now, and I would so loveto try this one too.
    I´ll keep everything possible crossed for you, but I agree with the rest here, that if they don´t pick you, they must be nuts and it´ll be their biiiiig loss then. You´re incredible dear friend, and I just looooove everything, you´re creating.
    Best of luck and biiiiig warm hugs Maryann

    Laura, I'm speechless again! This is absolutely beautiful!! I think it's your best work yet. I love that it works; your use of the branch and bird; and perhaps the sweetest detail is the pond with the fairy gazing into it! Just wonderful. We're all rooting for you. Bon Chance! ~ Laura in Belgium

    Amazing work, my mouth is hanging open in awe. This is gorgeous, the detail is beautiful. The branch with all of the buds and the bird, and every single other thing about that house is so beautiful and the fact that it works, wow! How could they not pick you, honestly, like someone else said, they'd be crazy if they did. May all of your wishes and dreams come true.
