Keeping time, time, time…

In a sort of Runic rhyme
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the cogs, cogs, cogs

OK, so that’s not quite how Edgar Allan Poe’s verse goes but this is a Simply Steampunk Challenges' project and features lots of cogs but no bells.

It’s challenge time over Simply Steampunk Challenges and this month’s theme is clocks / timepieces.  So of course I needed to make an actual clock, my lounge room walls needed some Steampunking and how better than with this awesome image from Simply B Stamps, Rio Portrait, by artist Abigail Larson.

Head on over to Simply Steampunk Challenges and check out all the details – you have until 4 July to get your Steampunk on, don’t let time get away from you!
I’m also entering this into the Crazy Amigo Challenge's Distress inks or stains or pens or embossing powder challenge (I’ve got distress stain and embossing powder covered), Through the Craftroom Door's Anything goes challenge, Left of Center's LOC theme (Steampunk) challenge, and Crafting When We Can's Punches and/or die cuts challenge (loads of spider web die cuts used).
