I want to make this.

granted, mine won't look nearly as beautiful as this one, but this is the general idea.

some girls at the Riv had a clock inside a book, and I thought it was the most genius idea ever.

then I forgot about it until like 2 weeks ago.

so now I've been re-inspired. {I'm sure going to that awesome used book store near Eastern Market helped that inspiration a lil}

here's how it'll go down.

step 1) find a sweet used book. but not one that I will be too sad about destroying. I found a really fun {green} copy of sherlock holmes. something like that.

step 2) buy said sweet used book.

step 3) take apart a clock. ???

step 4) cut a square out of the middle of the last 2/3 of the pages in the book

step 5) glue last 2/3 pages to each other

step 6) glue first 1/2 pages to each other

step 7) put clock guts and hands into the cut out square

step 8) done-ski?

mostly it sounds like a lot of gluing. and figuring out how to take apart a clock.

we'll see how it goes.
