Antique Paris Clockface Image Earrings with Vintage Clock Hands

Bonjour! What time is it in France? These fun earrings feature an image copied from an antique page in my collection which has clock faces representing the time differences between 12 o’clock in Washington D. C., and various cities around the world (A. J. Johnson). “Air-line” distances to Washington appear in their centers. This diagram was published in an atlas in the 1860s – before there were standardized time zones!

The pale green Paris clock image shines under glass cabochons in antiqued brass lace-edged settings, with dark vintage clock hands dangling beneath.

Many thanks to all who have supported artsyletters over the years! Looking forward to another busy holiday season.

Getting There… a few peeks around the new studio

Posted on May 11, 2023 by artsyletters

Greetings! I’ve been out of touch but busy, what with moving across the state and all. My new studio is slowly coming together, and I do love it. I will share a proper tour and pictures soon. In the meantime, here are a couple of clean-slate/new space/before-I-moved-in pics, and several pics of some fast-filling nooks, crannies, and curiosities. Enjoy!

What am I NOT showing you? Um, the remaining boxes and all the little pieces-parts that I’m still walking around and organizing. It seems I’ve accumulated quite the collection of vintage and art supply ‘treasures’ in the past ten years…. (Insert shoulder shrug emoji here.)

More soon! :0)
