I've had this wooden glass-fronted shadow frame for ages so it's nice to put it to some use finally. I started by staining the inside with black soot Distress Stain and then covering the frame and lining the compartments with designs from the DCWV Tattered Time card stack. I have the pocket watch pride of place in the centre (this piece looks so much better irl, you can really see that each section is about 3/4 inch deep).
Other elements were either stamped with Tim Holtz stamps or cut from the Tattered Time papers, then mounted on 3D foam. I added in some genuine watch faces and parts and a generous sprinkle of idea-ology sprocket gears.
Hopefully my friend likes it - she's promised not to look at my blog until she gets it! :)
