Earth-Friendly Wall Clocks

As you may or may not know, we announced almost 7 months ago that we intended to focus on finding earth-friendly materials to make our wall clocks, home decor and art. Here are the first of our clock designs using sustainable design fiberboard (sdf) and milk paints, which are voc-free. I'm very excited about the richness of the new color palette and about all of the lovely color combinations I have yet to try.
And, just in case you think "earth-friendly" always means "expensive", I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to discover that the new clocks are just as reasonably priced, if not more affordable, than ever they were!

I'll be posting more in early February, too, so check out the one-of-a-kind clock section at infinityartsgallery.com for the latest updates.

Mary & Cindy Block Clocks - Contemporary, Pendulum Wall Clocks

Without being too personally revealing, I would like to offer this post as a kind of gratitude-offering for the people I have been honored to creatively collaborate with recently and for all of the creative endeavors happening all around me.
This series is called the Mary & Cindy Block Clock Series. They are a collaboration between me (Mary) and my mother-in-law (Cynthia). She painted all of the pretty flowers, real and imaginary, on 3x3-inch squares. After living in a shoebox for over a year, I layed them out, designed, dreamed, painted and made them into block clocks. I'm happy with how they turned out - I think our unique forms of creative expression combine quite nicely into a wall clock. My mother-in-law, like all of the Potts clan, is creatively gifted and particularly gifted at painting and drawing. Her flowers and heart flowers! are absolutely dreamy.

There are 6 of them, each one-of-a-kind and $45 each. They are available at our etsy store and at our website, InfinityArtsGallery.com.

Also, these designs are some of my first pendulum wall clocks made using 100% recycled sdf (sustainable design board) and non-voc milk paints. The flower blocks are painted using acrylic paints. I hope to post a separate blog about our earth-friendly new clocks very soon.
