My FARRAGOZ Clock Face Today

I'm finished (maybe) with my FARRAGOZ clock face.



I shared my progress a few posts back, when it looked like this.  I'd just finished painting it.



I had quite a few compliments on it at this stage.  As a matter of fact, a friend/customer wanted to purchase it.  I'm making her another one.  This one's mine.

It was a little too neat looking for the course.  Imperfections are embraced.  I like that.

After a little distressing, I was going to call it done, but, after sending the photo to Tania at FARRAGOZ, I had submission remorse.  We both agreed that it needed more of a "story".




Because I wanted to stay within the boundaries of the materials used in this phase of the course, I added my "story" with more dings, and chips.




I imagined kids throwing rocks at it.  That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.




This clock face may look incredibly complicated, but, it's not.  Honestly, you need more patience than talent. It's a step-by-step process that comes together beautifully.  Also, as I've mentioned before, the paint recipes are easy, and affordable.

The techniques you learn along the way are like an arsenal. Every phase I finish sends the wheels spinning.  I have about a dozen ideas percolating.

This is not a paid post.  FARRAGOZ has enrolled me in their course to give an honest review.  All opinions are my own.  My decision to become an affiliate was based on my impression of the course.

  17. Hi Rosemary, lové the course you took in creating this clock face. It's so divinely aged. I can not seem to leave well enough alone unless I distress it up real good.

    You make this project look easy but, I am sure it take a little more then easy art lesions to create this, in fact your talent shows through in all your works of art.

    I went over to check out the course and all I could bring up was a page that read in bold red numbers 404 not allowing me to get into the page, I will try on my lap top and not my ipad and see if that's any different.

    Thank you beautiful for taking the time to visit my not such a big deal lamp shade made of linen.
