I've always followed the beat of my own drummer which is one of the reasons why I've always loved Tim Holtz's unique scrapbooking supplies and tools.
I purchased some Tim Holtz Vignette Trays on sale a while back in the hopes of creating some amazing art to display in my scrap loft or somewhere in the house. After creating two other Alice in Wonderland themed projects, I was hooked and knew I needed to make more. Plus, I had all these adorable papers and embellishments from Echo Park!

As an environmentally conscious scrapper, I look for ways to make less waste and recycle everything that I can. I've started hoarding away boxes, jars, bottle caps and more for altering or to use in mixed media projects. I even have two trash cans in my scrap loft: one for recycling and one for things that cannot be recycled. I'm happy to say that I put much more in the recycling bin that I do the trash bin.

Have you ever seen a project surface and just knew right away what you wanted to do with it? That's how I felt about this Tim Holtz assemblage clock.
Today, I'm sharing with you the second in a series of Alice in Wonderland themed projects. This one features a beautiful Renea Bouquets Mad Hatter embellishment along with elements and papers from Echo Park's Alice in Wonderland collection.
After seeing a project by Tim where he added some micro LED lights to the inside of his assemblage clock, I knew I wanted to try the same thing. I also felt it would be perfect to help light up the darker colors of the Mad Hatter embellishment as well as emphasize the depth in the project.
I started by altering the outside of my assemblage clock using gesso, a stencil and also Finnabair waxes for color. Then I added paper to the inside of the clock by covering the back and wrapping the sides. I also made a grassy knoll for the Mad Hatter to be attached to.
Then I created some paper flowers and leaves then glued all of my embellishments on to the outside, including some chipboard stickers and pre-made paper flowers. I also altered a mini pocket watch from Tim Holtz, adding a coordinating cream paper and a tiny fussy cut cupcake inside and filling the bottom of it with clear microbeads. I hung this and a teapot charm from one of the bells and added a Frank Garcia crown to the other bell.
Next I attached the Mad Hatter to his grassy knoll and then glued some paper flowers to the inside of the clock. To insert the fairy lights, I used my Dremel tool to drill a hole in the back plate of the clock. I strung my lights through and just like Tim, I wound them around a popsicle stick. Then I added tiny die cut butterflies with glitter to the background.
After glueing in the grass with the Mad Hatter, I added some Renea Bouquet pearls to the front of the clock, placed my lights behind the grass and closed up my clock. And there you have it! A perfect item to display in my Alice Scraps Wonderland loft!

This is a project I created quite some time ago but just never got around to photographing. Between my contract social media work, music groups and scrapbooking clients, squeezing in time to make and photograph my own projects is pretty low on the priority list.
