But I can show you some of the process below.

This the bare clock, I painted it over in cream acrylic paint first.

Above photo is the shape cut out In metal and decorated as per Tim's tutorial in the book.
 Below photo is me layering up pieces to go on, lots of changes, finished clock is a little different, but this just shows the process. Then painted over in places with cream acrylic. Spritzed with various
Inks , dabbed with paints . Silver rub on , adhesive stones, metal embellishments & buttons
All added to the mix ! And a few time related chit chats added.
