Family Name Clock

I started this project while sitting in my recliner 

for those first two months after my surgery.  

I had a lot of time for staring and thinking.

Once I had the idea, I designed it in photoshop.  

Then my good friend, Misty, gave me some boards from her fence

that they were repairing after all that wind damage.

I screwed the boards into a panel and started cutting 

out the circle of the clock months ago.. but my jig saw's

motor burned up mid circle and my project was put on hold.

 I printed all my designs out in light gray to save 

ink and laid them on the circle for placement.

I taped a piece of wax paper to my printer paper and 

ran it through the printer.

Then I used a spoon to rub the ink and wax on to my wood.

A couple of times it took two coats.

"Blessed to be a Blessing" is our family motto.

 A couple of times I forgot to reverse the image,

a very important step. 

The boards were a little too thick for my clock works. 

So I drilled them down a bit. 

Now I know what time it is.

Love,

Jenny
