Spiral of Time
2026
Decided to do a "clock shop" then got wrapped up in "time." Bought an old clock from Jean Bondi at one of Shelly Norris's online shows. Figured it would make a good clock shop. Then I started painting clocks. And painting clocks. And painting clocks. Got them all in the tiny space somehow. Must be one of those time glitches. I'm mean... really! You have to check out your clock purchase from the store in another time slip. Oh well, I had fun making it and I hope you enjoy looking at it. Just be careful where you walk or you might get lost in another time stream. The clocks are multi-scale. 144 to half scale leaning to mostly quarter scale. Be sure to click on the photos to see them in larger detail.

Touched up the fancy work on the clock so that you can see it. Put in the door and then everything weird started happening.

Back of Spiral of Time. Back had a hole that you had to stick your finger into to open the door. So I found a clock face in my steam punk stash and made a door handle to grab to open the back up.

As you can see, you have to be careful where you walk because of the spiral of time in the floor. Makes you feel like you are slipping from one time to another. I used a great wallpaper but you can't see if for all the clocks.
Put in a new ceiling with lots of LED lights. It was very dark inside of the clock so I wanted to be able to see what was in there. Decided to insert a photo of the wall paper since you can't really see it. Also the ceiling spiral which you can't see either. I'm not sure whether it's the ceiling (center) or floor that's causing all the weird stuff.

I was so mixed up by the time slips, I forgot to create an owl clock. How could I forget an owl? I've only be collecting them for 45 years! I might have to go back and add one but not sure where he will find a place to sit.

Hope you'll come visit my clock (time) shop. If you dare. I can't guarantee you will return to the same place you started. Enjoy!
 
Wow! What a difference a camera makes! The owls flew in and found a spot to land. I was only going to insert one new updated photo but the difference in the camera, (guess my other one needs some work?) so I'm posting a few newer photos. Leaving the old ones because they don't contain the owls but I think you will like the new ones better.

Inside Spiral of Time. The owl have landed.

A better view of the right of the project. Wish I'd taken a new left view when I had the old camera out.

You can actually see the jade color elephant in this one. He kind of fades out in most of the photos.
Don't know why my one camera works one day and takes great photos and the next, not so much. I often have to take new ones and replace the old. But since the whole project is different now, and the old camera took better photos, I'm going to leave it like this. Hope you enjoyed the tour better this time. Thanks to Jean Bondi for selling me the clock to make this project come true.
