We’re talking a lot about taking classes this month, but here’s a great couple of reasons why maybe you should think about teaching classes too!
Debe Friedhoff sent me the following note…I can’t wait to see what Debe comes up with next:
The mermaid clock was for my hostess in Florida, who invited me to teach ALTERED ART (as if) to the middle school students that were participating in the MAKE A DIFFERENCE program.
We had a wonderful time, and I enjoyed the students one on one, and they “got it” and ran with it!
My other clock is a fantasy clock, and it is just as I pictured it when I started collecting my bits and placing them in a special bin because I knew they were an interesting “match”… for some reason last Saturday was a “good day for art” and I had 7 hours .. and now I have a new clock.
Here is my latest excuse for not doing house work.
Next I am jonesing to do another altered shoe, and start on my “scrap book” of my adventures of the past year.
That’s a beautiful mermaid clock! I like her whimsical shoe-last clock, too. I could do that, too. Wow, now there’s something else for me to look for at garage sales. Thanks, Pat
I LOVE the shoe-clock. Fantastic. Are you aware of Joseph Cornell, Jan Svankmajer or The Brothers Quay? I see a parallel…
How cleverly awesome !!!!! So cool.
Thank you for the good feedback.
Daniel, I do not recognise those names, but I did find a crazy co-inkydink. A forum friend mentioned “Klockwerks”.. and OH MY, what a talented altered clockmaker and HE has a SHOE LAST CLOCK!
I will do some looking around, you never know what will inspire me!!
Also, I did some web searches and found a very talented artist of the STEAMPUNK ilk, who does fantastic clocks…he is named ERIC but sure if I can not remember his last name. But he does have some things out that are astounding.
That would be Eric Freitas!

The shoe tree clock is totally fabulous!
YES! Cyndi, that ERIC!
Too wonderful, what a mind he has, and talent! WOW.
And than you for the link, I should have remembered WHERE I first saw him… HERE!
This is just fantastic …… love the overall concept … Linda F
Both clocks are wonderful,, but the show clock is out of this world awesome!
