I designed this clock. I went out to the shop and cut the pattern. I painted the clock. I installed the clock movement. I set back and took a long look. I have to be honest. I don't like it very much. The wolf theme and the Art Deco style just don't work for me. So why am I posting the pattern?
I went and did a little Google research and the wolf was used in Art Deco style pieces. It was generally a more stylized wolf but not that different than the wolf in this pattern. I looked up the definition of Art Deco and this is one sentence from the definition, "Art Deco was a pastiche of many different styles, sometimes contradictory, united by a desire to be modern.". Well maybe.....
After some thought, I decided to post the pattern and let you decide if you like it or not. After thirteen years of designing patterns, I have a pretty open mind to criticism. If you want to email me and tell me the clock looks terrible, I can take it. I might delete your subscription but I won't hold a grudge. Just kidding about the grudge(I mean subscription).
Personalized Christmas Ornament Patterns:
I am still making good progress on ornament patterns. I should be able to get caught up today. If you have orders in the queue, keep your eye on your email inbox.
The price is $1 per name with a 5 name minimum. I keep the price as low as possible
because I want everyone to have a chance to make these ornaments for family and friends.
You only pay after you have received the order and are
100% satisfied with the patterns. Invoice included with
the pattern email. Pay by credit card(secure Paypal), check, or cash.
The patterns will be emailed to you after they are completed.
Please allow up to a week for delivery.
You can use last names on the ornaments if you like but remember that the more letters the more
difficult they are to cut. Ten letters and up gets pretty small. If you need to you can enlarge the patterns by 10% to make the interior cuts larger. No special characters are supported. I can get a hyphen in there but it looks odd. It has to connect the two letters so it does not just fall out.
$12 per sheet of 12 coins plus $3.50 shipping
