It was a dark and stormy night. Or, so they said. This scene has several cut paper layers, depicting an inner castle wall inside the City of Lost Things.

Pocket Watches.
I’m making more dioramas in broken pocket watches, which make for great containers. I made these to wear at the AVAM gala in November, for fun.

Birthday for a Friend
A dear friend just had a birthday. This image seems to hold a lot of meaning for all of us this year, so I decided to make use it in a found pocket watch. The watch already was monogramed with 2 of the 3 correct initials.
Jeanne did her flower magic, and we added some skeleton hand salad tongs, because they are just cool, as well as useful, if you happen to have some salad.

A Reunion (in a pocket watch)
I think one of the best parts of entering the Land of the Dead will be reuniting with old friends (and by friends, I mean dogs).
This scene is made of several layers. The church door opens, too.
This is a silver pocket watch, which was broken when I found it.

The Reverse Clock Tower Diorama
Deep within the City of Lost Things, there’s a crumbling clock tower that tells time in reverse. It’s extremely useful for finding lost things, because one can just retrace one’s steps back to where the item was lost. The tower isn’t easy to find, though.
This watch belonged to my grandfather. It doesn’t tell normal time, but is actually a window looking at the reverse clock tower. Pretty handy (get it?).
The clock hands are backward. Like most of the stuff I’ve made, this is really tricky to photograph.
I started with the clock face, which is 11/64 of an inch. That’s about as small as I could get it and still managed to write the roman numerals somewhat legibly. I then drew everything else around that.
