Mixed Media Monday - Recycle / Repurpose & Wednesday Stamper Circles
For this challenge I thought I would make a clock or two from old CDs. The tree clock has a background from alcohol inks applied directly to the back of the CD and over stamped with a tree. The leaves were left over (re-cycled) from another project, which I might use for next week's challenge, and they are leaf stamps on shrunk plastic. The time clock background is a sheet of scrapbook paper which I have over stamped. The mechanics for both are small battery operated clock and hand mechanisms from a shop in the UK called Maplins.

When I opened up your blog, WOW!!! wasn't enough. I love both your clocks, but that second one takes away my breath. It's so beautiful. I too would like to know the kind of ink you used to stamp with.
Wonderful circles. Fantastic color on the bottom one.
You have found a beautiful way to use up some of those old cds. The autumn leaves are gorgeous!
Oooohhh YUM! So creative!
These are both lovely, the bottom one especially as the colours are so fab

What a great way to express this theme, I like your Tree clock very much.
An absolutly fabulous idea to make these CD's work like this, this is real art.
Both are very very nice.

Moira, I can't imagine why I haven't known about you before, but I'm so happy I do. Your cds are wonderful. You inspire me to try some. I'm going to click over to your shop next. Thanks for your comment on my collage.
