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.

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!

    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

    What you have learned from the courses and translated into your pieces is really an inspiration to all of us who love the look but have no ability to obtain it, hard as we may try!

    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!
