My Watch






This watch is for me.
This is the first thing i have made for myself to wear.
I altered 4 jigsaw pieces and covered them in off white acrylic paint then using stazon stamped text on back and front and a flower stamp (from tapestry set) for front. I used a crackle glaze on the the front, which seems to have reacted with colour of jigsaw pieces (yes i was lazy and didn't sand them cos i was glazing them) hence the apricot colour seeping through. I them covered both sides in a 3D glaze. I used 8mm jump rings to connect the pieces to the watch.
I am really going to enjoy wearing this.

This is gorgeous, and the apricot showing through only adds to it making it more attractive I think.
