apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Why create three clocks when you could just design one?

Because you can charge three times as much!

I dunno, I sorta like it. In principle. I wouldn't ever pay that kinda money for it, but I think it's kind of a neat idea.

It confuses me.

I think it would drive me batty!

I really like the look. I probably wouldn't try to read all three for time keeping purposes, they would just look interesting on the wall.

I think it's cool looking. But yeah I wouldn't pay that much for a clock either.

can anyone idea where the shadowbox in real simple magazine, may 2007 page 40 was purchased. also to those who live in the wash dc area is a good place to find someone creative to help me decrorate some shadow boxes (i have some barbie clothes my grandmother sewed for me in the early 1960's). i'm not creative at all. i'd pay for the service of course but just not sure where to look. thanks for any advice you can offer!

shadowboxseeker-
I don't live in the DC area but, as an artist that is interested in the miniature, I do have a lot of experience creating shadowboxes. I'd encourage you to try assembling one yourself.

A few suggestions: do a google image search to get ideas. I look to artist Joseph Cornell for inspiration.

Use objects/ fabrics/ materials that have meaning to you- the barbie clothes are a good start. Don't be afraid to layer and make unusual pairings- its what makes an interesting composition. Find different ways to attach the objects you're using- draped, hanging, stacked.

Consider whether or not you are trying to convey a message, spark curiosity, or simply make a beautiful object (or all three!)

Just keep rearranging until you like the way it looks!

Sorry to get off topic AT readers, but I couldn't help but respond to this question!
