Progress on the project - wall clocks and the wall

For now I have a beetle sculpture framed, ready to hang. As well as a piece of hand paited wall. Yes, 'the herd of eyes' - it is my creation.

I also made some test pictures of the wall, but I'll public them later eventually.
Here is a small clock progress- main charakter (small one) for my wall arrangement.
Really, I havent' thought that it would take so much time to complete.

Sunny afternoon with fantasy beetles!

This is the part of my wall arrangements project where I create the whole piece of wall with the clock in the center.
There will be a few small pictures of beetles, a circle macrama, cacti pot, glass dome with something - a bird or just something and maybe a small botanical painting.

These are the beetles that I worked on today:

Wall with wall clock - I sketch it all.

Last weekend I spend designing walls with my insect wall clocks (that don't exist yet). This is first step to creating real wall with a clock as a cherry at the top of a cake. :)
And trying plenty of walls I fell in love with one small drawing of a set of two clocks. I drew them larger and have already started making form scrach. Yes, I know, I didn't finish the bee clock.
:)
Have a look at the sketches.

Hey! This week labour!

Here I show you almost a tutorial of polymer clay clock. At least it is step by step photo story. It si unfinished and not described in detail, but I will finish - hopefully this week and I would think about making tutorial and revealing all secrets behind my clock making! Isn't that exciting!?

So I put pictures in one place:

It is three days of work, every day several hours. I start with a "naked" cardboard. Now it is all coated in polymer clay and pre-baked two times. But still a lot to do. :)

Edit:  New steps of progress:

Clock under construction.

I've worked on it for the last couple of days. I had a break on weekend (when I was mostly sketching in my free time). And I plan to finish it this week. But there are new ideas on the horizon and they are real threat to that clock... there isn't anything so distracting sculpting of a particular clock as a new ispiration for another clock. :)
