Every time I see a clock at a sale all I can think of is how fast I can put it in my cart and get it home to paint. I found this little gem for 3.00 and knew it would awesome fun.
I painted it with a dark base coat and then the antique white, then a dark glaze. I used this Paris Subway art design by Kim Klassen and and piece of printed paper as the back round.
I liked the Paris subway are so much I decided to use it on an old roof slate that I had. I usually paint them but this one had a hole in it from years of weathering. So I got out the Modge Podge and several designs I printed off from "The Graphics Fairy". The music paper is actually some vintage sheets from a book I got off the "free" blanket. That's right it wasn't even a table it was just a blanket tossed on the grass with a paper sign that had the glorious words "Free" written on it.
God bless those who give joy to others by sharing the things they no longer need.
Mmmm, looks SO much better with the subway print!
