Clock Progress

In Minnesota recently, my brother-in-law bestowed an amazing gift upon me that will be the perfect addition to the haunted parlor.  When I showed it to his Lordship, however, I received a rather snide comment about the clock laying downstairs awaiting a make over.  Nothing like a little husband distain to spur me to action.  So last week I actually worked on the clock.  It is not finished yet but I have made some good progress.  First, it received a couple of coats of chalk paint followed by distressing and waxing.  Then I added some embellishments I had purchased on Etsy from the Wood Shape Store.  I purchased a clock kit from Michaels so that it would keep time.  As a working clock, his Lordship said he would happily welcome it into his study.   That is great because storage space is at a premium around here.  I have plans to add a dropping spider (instead of a pendulum) and lights to the interior of the cabinet.  Here are some pictures.
