I finally found a use for my old tea cups. I found a picture of this clock in a magazine - they wanted $350.00 for it! I had the wood, the teacups I just had to buy the clockwork and paint - a steal at $20.00!

E600 is a really strong epoxy. You can but it in a tube at any craft store. I have to say - it is really great stuff

That is great! I would never have thought of using teacups. I made a clock using old watches but teacups... how clever and so pretty.

That is really unique. Glad your kitchen is bigger than mine. I'd have to use doll house cups and saucers. (lol) Happy Easter. Bonnie
