DIY Clock Face & One Fantastic Giveaway!

January 21, 2015 by Patti 31 Comments

Farragoz clock 009

I gave you a peek at my clock face in my last post and promised to come back and share the full reveal.  I also promised a giveaway and I can hardly wait to tell you all about it!

Farragoz clock 027

Before I give away what the giveaway is though, take a look at what I created with Farragoz, the online painting course I’ve been taking this past year.

Farragoz clock 025

I’ve always wanted a large clock face for my home and what fun it was to create my own.

Farragoz clock 022

This amazing course teaches old world painting techniques with paints that you make yourself.

Farragoz clock 010

There are six modules to the course and in each one you learn to create a different project.

Farragoz Module 1 020

You may remember my first project which was this icon.  Now listen . . . I am a painter of walls . . . and furniture . . . and various other knick knacks around the house.  I am not a painter of “real” artwork.  So I must say that I amazed even myself, especially myself, with how well this turned out.  I was also surprised at how easy it was to do with the step-by-step support of the Farragoz team.

Farragoz clock 032

Each piece of art is done at your own pace, one step at a time, reporting your progress in pictures along the way.  If you have any questions a personal instructor is right there to help you and to cheer you on!

Farragoz clock 008

When I started this course I thought I might be getting myself in over my head and worried that my work wouldn’t look as good as the examples given to follow,

Farragoz clock 004

but I was assured that this is a course easy enough for a beginner, and it really is!  I also soon realized that the idea is to create something of your own making, unique to you, and not a copy of someone else’s work.

Farragoz clock 001

The paints are made of inexpensive and safe natural products and they are applied in multiple layers, then sealed, also with natural products. Once the painting was complete I was instructed in new ways of distressing my piece to give it the aged look that I love.

Farragoz Module 2 002

In this picture you can see the depth and texture the clock face has after distressing.

Farragoz Module 2 008

This picture shows texture and also the brightness of the homemade gold paint. I love a little glitz you know!

Farragoz Module 2 016

And here is one more picture taken before I added the winter touches to my clock, so you can see the distressing around the edges of the piece.

Farragoz clock 007

I think the greatest thing about the new techniques I’ve learned is that I will be able to use them on my future furniture projects.  I’ve already used some of the leftover paint from my clock face on a once hideous mirror from Goodwill.  Now I’m just trying to figure out which room I’ll hang it in so I can decide what the final color will be.  The before and after photos are going to be incredible!

Farragoz clock 026

    I love your clock face! and your icon too! They are just gorgeous and I know you have to be so proud at these works of art you have created. I just love Tania. She is a positively wonderful instructor and this is the best class I have ever taken. I am just ahead of you posting my finished plaque today and I am over the moon with it and I know you will love yours as well. By the way, your icon turned out so much better than mine did…way to go girl!

    Your clock face is stunning! I love the way you’ve styled it with greenery and it’s perfect for that spot. Great job!

    Have you seen that your kitchen window, “To Curtain or Not to Curtain” has been featured everywhere? Because it’s beautiful.

    Hi Patti! I thought this course would be for “real” artists, which I certainly don’t count myself lol! I also thought I wouldn’t have time to keep up with the classes, but if you can go at your own pace that is great. I love the pieces you’ve made. It looks like you’ve been painting for years. Have a great weekend!
    Blessings,
    Deborah

    I love how your clock face has turned out. It looks super styled for the winter too. I also have been keeping my eye on the painting course and wondering how people who have taken it felt about it. I love the idea of learning new (to me) techniques.

    It is gorgeous. Thanks for showing off the gold details. As many times as I’ve looked at the original example, I haven’t focused on the gold. Also, the layers of paint and the textures you’ve created are lovely.

    Patti, your clock turned out gorgeous! Tania had contacted me some time ago about doing a give away of her course, but I had never heard of it and didn’t get around to researching it. It’ truly is impressive! Thanks for sharing with SYC. Keeping my fingers crossed. Sounds like an awesome give away!

Welcome! I am Perfectly Imperfect Patti and I’d like to invite you to come in and take a seat in this creative space of mine.

I love the process of hunting for orphaned and cast off furniture (particularly my Chosen Chairs) and then taking the time to transform each piece into something new and beautiful. This process allows me to reflect upon my own story of transformation and blesses me over and over with each piece I redesign.

For those wondering if this program really works, For those wondering if this program really works, I’m still going strong with @e2mfitness after four rounds, and now that they’ve released a new cookbook (available on Amazon) I am more excited than ever about my fitness journey. This is the first in a series of cookbooks, and this one features delicious beef and poultry recipes. It also includes dozens of recipes for dressings and spice blends to use in cooking, along with a weekly meal planner, water tracker, weekly exercise log, etc. 
What is E2M? It is a virtual, eight week, rapid body transformation program for adults, which consists of workouts, meal, plans, cooking classes, mental fitness, and personal coaching. Workouts are designed for all fitness levels and can be done at home or in a gym. Our fit family is made up of people from across the world, from various backgrounds and ages, and we all have one common goal: to encourage each other to reach our personal best lifestyle fitness goals. After the first eight weeks, the program is available for free to maintain progress. This isn’t about getting skinny. It’s about building a healthier lifestyle, living longer, and getting the most out of the one body you’ve been blessed with. The next round opens on Thursday, and I truly hope you’ll check it out!

“In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and “In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was asked to create a Christmas special for CBS featuring the Peanuts Characters. He agreed with one requirement, that they allow him to include the story of the birth of Jesus. Although the stations executives were hesitant and tried to convince him otherwise, Schulz was insistent. As a result, for the past 50 plus years, millions of people have watched “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and heard the story of Jesus and “what Christmas is all about.”

It wasn’t until a few years back that I realized a “hidden message” in the film. Linus, a child who seems to have some insecurities as he carries a security blanket with him at all times. In fact, Linus NEVER drops his blanket, except once....

While sharing the message of “what Christmas is all about,” Linus drops his blanket at the exact moment he says the words, “fear not!”

In this seemingly innocent moment, Linus delivers a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. We are to “fear not”, for Jesus is born. We needn’t rely on material things for security, we have God with us, “Immanuel”, (Matthew 1:23) Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - the true meaning of Christmas.

Awhile back, someone informed me, indignantly so, that Linus picks up his blanket at the end of the speech so my interpretation must be wrong. Well, he was right, Linus does pick up his blanket at the end of his speech. However, he “drops” it again later... 

Amid big, bright, colorful, shiny artificial trees, Charlie Brown chose the least of these, a little, wooden tree with just a few branches. Shortly thereafter, Linus uses his blanket to wrap about the base of the tree and says, “Maybe it just needs a little love”. In that moment, the tree “awakens”, stands tall and firm. A reminder that no matter who we are, how many mistakes we’ve made, a “little love” can make all the difference.

Let’s strive to “fear not” (Luke 2:10) and “love one another” (John 13:34), not just at Christmastime, but the whole year through.”
