Need help w/Ceiling Tin Project

Postby NJTomboy on Tue Sep 11, 2007 11:13 pm

Hey - maybe someone here can help me.

I hit a creative block.. that happens alot and then I stop.. but I am determined to work through this one.

My clock numbers (jewels) are small so i feel they need to make a larger impact. So mabe i should stamp/stencil a gold image behind the jewels? ...and only do the 12, 3,6, & 9?

Also, I don't necessarily like the painted chandelier crystals - so I am debating on whether I should try to find some purple beaded fringe as a trimming around the clock....

Also, should I antique it????

To be honest, I love the gold color that comes through. I think you should play that up with a gold trim around the outside. You don't want too much purple. Good idea making the 12, 3, 6, and 9 bigger. I feel like I need bifocals just to see the numbers and I'm only 23! Maybe it's just the picture... I'll just tell myself that!

Add one more person waiting to see the finished result. I'm sure it'll turn out great! Don't forget about all of us on this forum--post lots of pics!
