Earth-Friendly Wall Clocks Are Here!

I am thrilled to introduce the brand new line of earth-friendly clocks from Infinity Arts. They are available now through Infinity Arts Gallery. There are 20 new clock designs in all, including 5 new desk clock designs. There are also 7 new block clock designs in the one-of-a-kind section. All of them are created using sdf (sustainable design fiberboard), which is formaldehyde-free and made from 100% recycled wood fiber, and painted with non-toxic, voc-free milk paints. Yay! It has taken us 6 months to get to this place with our decision to go green and I am very excited about the progress we've made....so, without further ado...

Custom Wall Clocks For Children - Joshie's Giraffe


After making this giraffe wall clock (more about that later), I wanted to write a little bit about children's wall clocks. While I have made many custom children's wall clocks over the years and, up until recently, offered a line of children's wall clocks through our website, I decided recently that I would no longer offer the line. The main reason being that the clocks are so jigsaw intensive to cut out that I have to price them too high. Instead, I intend to include a small section of photos of the children's clocks that I've made as a portfolio of my style of children's clock.

Joshie's Giraffe is the first children's clock I've made in a very long time, so I'm excited about it and want to show it off. I made it for a baby friend of mine, whose nursery has a jungle theme. The clock is made using sdf (sustainable design board) made from 100% recycled wood pulp and painted with milk paints (voc-free). Earth-friendly equals baby-friendly! It is painted a pumpkin orange with chocolate brown, rich red-orange and cream accents. It has lots of little handpainted design details as well as handpainted numbers on the face for easy readability at the 4am diaper change.

Here are a few more shots, including close-up, detail images - enjoy! And, contact me if you would like to have a wall clock made for your child's room.

New ACEO's from Justin Potts

My better half has spent the last winter week laying beside the woodstove drawing and painting an evergrowing collection of ACEO's (Art Cards Editions & Collections) using ink and watercolor on Arches paper. They are fun, funky, lovely, complex, humorous and, most of all, beautiful...this is an area where Justin's talent really shines!


Justin's ACEO's can be found at the Infinity Arts Gallery eBay store, at the Infinity Arts Etsy store and will be coming soon to the Infinity Arts Gallery website. They are all one-of-a-kind, so get them while they're hot!
