Cardboard Christmas

In answer to Howard's question - I'm making a cuckoo clock. I don't have the little pine cone thingies that hang down from the chains done yet, but everything else is done. The chains are just taped under the house for now.

This little house is 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall. The sides are only a inch wide because that is how much space I had to use from an 8.5 x 11 piece of cardboard. The animal figures are stamped on card stock and hand cut. 2-3 layers are glued together. The trees are from 2 different dies (I am just not good at cutting out detailed things out of cardboard with a craft knife. My edges are always so sloppy.)

I'm off work today so I should be able to finish the little pine cone thingies today. More photos later.

Here is a photo of the clock hanging on the wall. Not great lighting. You can see the little dangling pine cones.

Very nice Lucy! Those pinecones top it off!

Lucy, SWEET!

There's a lady who comes to the Springfield Extravaganza (antique flea market) every year who makes shadow boxes and things using materials and similar design concepts as you do, including the Steam Punk-looking stuff. I keep trying to get her to log on and see some of your stuff but she doesn't seem to like computers. She doesn't like business cards either, because I ask her for one every time I see her. I'll try again this fall.
