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.
