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.

Infinity Arts Going Green Update #2 - Recycled Wood / Formaldehyde Free & Milk Paints

We've finally found new materials! In keeping with my promise earlier in the summer that Infinity Arts was Going Green, I wanted to post that we've moved several giant steps in the right direction.
First, we discovered a replacement for the mdf (medium density fiberboard) that makes up the bodies of our clocks. The new material is called Arreis from Sierra Pine (read more). Arreis is an SDF (sustainable design fiberboard). It is made from 100% recycled wood fiber and contains no added formaldehyde. Even better is that it looks and feels exactly the same as mdf...same durability, light weight and smooth finish. I love it!

Second, we have purchased a new line of paints that I'm really excited about. They are milk paints from The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company and the color palette is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are rich and beautiful and, if you don't already know, milk paint is the most durable, long-lasting, no VOC paint you can buy!
As I have said before, we at Infinity Arts are dedicated to making our home decor and art products environmentally friendly. We're excited about our new materials and we're certain that you'll love the new line of clocks they've inspired - coming soon to our website: Infinity Arts Gallery.
Note: We hope to replace our current line of catalog clocks by early 2008. In the meantime, we will continue to offer our current lines of catalog and one-of-a-kind clocks in addition to any new clocks we make! Enjoy!
