Also I'm trying to go for a cleaner, more professional design studio look this time, and that beat up old thing was looking awful. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAlcWENOuuo-TrJlOADiziL8gIQizut_fcXmW7Is0xVvAg3Gus0opc5fpcwg54RtlJ8dN7BtHrJqMpcKjmLh3uuiJXIu3TT6F-2F7vii_bbtcnAPTFQVYle0T9XVF9TlIaqnWqzAvSHls/s1600/skoj-ikea-clocks-wall-clock-740974.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="200" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537196146935396194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAlcWENOuuo-TrJlOADiziL8gIQizut_fcXmW7Is0xVvAg3Gus0opc5fpcwg54RtlJ8dN7BtHrJqMpcKjmLh3uuiJXIu3TT6F-2F7vii_bbtcnAPTFQVYle0T9XVF9TlIaqnWqzAvSHls/s200/skoj-ikea-clocks-wall-clock-740974.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>So I was hoping to find something with a little personality, but when I got to Ikea, I didn't see anything special, so I decided to go for the Skoj because the frosted glass would be easy to paint, and then it would definitely fit in with the rest of the studio. <br /><br />Also, I like squares. <br /><br />I wanted to keep some of the transparency of the glass, so I used some very cheap tempera paint.   <br /><br />I started with the red at 12:00 and worked my way around, letting each color dry in between, so I could layer the brush strokes nicely.   <br /><br />All I had to do was move the hands around so I wouldn't get paint on them. I wiped them down after taking the photos, but the hands of the clock stayed clean except for my grubby finger prints. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiux0PtUMCBH37AhmGHQp8QEs2RKj0kUPrKPOSM1tRXIjXyfB2F2rRD4yFzl99v_XBKA7NxlkNSnXi_vOzYvW2owH4G5en36ekhGDRNu-B04mu-iDJbG3Zr_s3Y348HKfm8UY_HP7Rvcds/s1600/DSC_0065-743663.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="266" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537196154726954290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiux0PtUMCBH37AhmGHQp8QEs2RKj0kUPrKPOSM1tRXIjXyfB2F2rRD4yFzl99v_XBKA7NxlkNSnXi_vOzYvW2owH4G5en36ekhGDRNu-B04mu-iDJbG3Zr_s3Y348HKfm8UY_HP7Rvcds/s400/DSC_0065-743663.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />After the color paint dried, I used a little white acrylic paint to redefine the hours. <br /><br />~ Meredith, Red Hook, Brooklyn
