Avengers Assemble

I wanted to make a clock for someone leaving work. They liked comics and I settled on the idea of making a clock based on The Hulk. The result was really popular and when it came to making a present for my niece loves the Avengers I decided to make another Hulk, the clock turned out well:

I found I had a little spare time before her birthday and knew that she really liked Thor so I found an image, wondered if it would work as it was more lifelike than the cartoony look of The Hulk and set out to make it, here is the result:

I finished this off as wall art with a hanger on the back although it would also work as a clock given the width of the image.

By now I was enjoying the challenge and wondered if I could complete the set with the main characters from the Avengers Assemble film. For those of you who know you Marvel I'm sure I wont need to say these are Captain America:

And Iron Man:

I was really happy with the finished results as was my niece who had them up on the wall of her bedroom within the week. A final picture to finish this entry, Avengers Assemble:

Curious Norwich Terrier

Those of you who are lucky enough to know a Norwich Terrier will recognise this pose as they cock their head to one side any give you that curious look.

I was keen to make a new Norwich Terrier as it was the first design I made (you will find it is the first post on my blog if you go back through the "Older Posts" link at the bottom of the page).

Here it is shown as wall art but it can also be easily made as a clock.

Flying ducks

My Mum asked me, only half seriously, if I could make her some flying ducks. Those of you who remember Hilda Ogden from Coronation Street will recognise these. Whilst not anatomically correct they are an accurate reproduction in vinyl of those well known wall decorations.

I made these as art rather than clocks with the velcro picture hanging strips on the back. Mum has them on the wall of her dinning room  flying in the classic Hilda formation.

And here are the ducks flying in formation on my Mum's wall:

If you would like the set get in touch and I will work out the price.

Sitting Cesky Terrier

It's been a while since I added a new post here. I am still making my record clocks and have some posts I will add here. I have been focusing on woodwork recently and will set up a blog to show the things I have made but for now here are some clocks I have made since April.

This is a second Cesky Terrier design. They are a great dog, full of character and I wanted to try a new design to my original standing Cesky design.
