This time - text transferred onto plates. Instructions here.
I'm planning to have a go at making my own clock from a milk glass plate. I may quickly come unstuck, but my friend Bridget reckons that if I take a plate to a mirror/glass cutting shop, they should be able to cut a hole in the middle for me? Then, I just need to add the clock mechanism, which I am sure I should be able to find online. A quick one-minute search found these mechanisms for making a CD clock (same principle), and I'm sure I can find something which is better quality.
This conversation came about because we saw some plate clocks in Liberty on Saturday, but they ranged from £60 - £80. I'm certain the total cost to make your own should be more like £5. Watch this space.

love this idea. cant wait to see the outcome.
Ooh---I'm so inspired by your creativity AND your can-do spirit! I have a million allegedly good ideas in my head but do I get around to making any of them happen? Of course not! But you've motivated me lynne and I'm SO going to get a project up and running today.
can't wait to see how the clock turns out!
Great idea! Of course, when you explain it like that, it all sounds so simple!
What a great idea! We wanted to make a clock for our apartment when we first moved in, but then we got lazy. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
What a great idea!
Enjoying your blog xo
