I had picked up some clock parts, and shuffled around a few ideas in my head to create a functional piece of art, with canvas.

I had a very large (18 inch by 24 inch) canvas, and decided to do a mixed media Alice in Wonderland piece, to include the White Rabbit's pocket watch as an actual time keeper.

First, I gave my canvas a Coffee wash to make it less stark, and appear more aged. In the corner, I drew a small chess board. Then, using a mix of red and brown acrylic paints, I covered the canvas in a chevron pattern with masking tape, and sponged paint over it. I then covered some of the overlap with a mix of tan and white acrylic to match the coffee stained coloring. I took the colorless illustrations, and filled them in using water colors. The canvas would be too impersonal as just a collage, so I drew a large illustration of the Caterpillar to cut out, and add to the middle. Using book pages that were salvaged from another project, I created roses (the book was actually Harry Potter). Adding more detail, the roses have been "painted" red by playing-card guards (made with actual playing cards, scrap paper, and sharpie), and quotes have been added to various places in sharpie. I then went back over everything, including the quotes, with mod podge to reinforce, and began working on the clock mechanism. A nice addition to the kitchen. I hope you enjoy.
