* TIME *
Altered Art Book by Lynn Lindley
Images of vintage clock faces always catch my eye, and I'm compelled to cut them out and save them. Over the years, I collected so many clock faces that I had more than enough to completely cover and decoupage a metal wastebasket with them. Even after that project, I continued to cut out and collect vintage clock faces out of habit. My idea for an altered art book with the subject of *TIME* seemed a logical venue for using my growing collection.
For weeks I jotted down phrases and sayings that had to do with time - and surprisingly, there were so many, I didn't even use them all. Dangling from a snippet of vintage seam binding is a miniature glass bottle ~ inside is the word "time" taken from the text of an old book. (Time in a bottle.) The tabs on each page have a time or date that is personally significant to me written in gold ink. Several of the hands on the clocks inside and on the cover of the book turn, and there are other 3-D objects such as minature clock faces and watches included as well.

Love, love, love this time book. You are so clever with the wording you put with it. I am especially fond of the front cover.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I "collected" so many possible time-related phrases, and so many cut-out vintage clock images, that I would have needed a book twice as big as the one I made. Maybe for another time . . . (pun intended.)
