Clocks
The clocks presented here are handcrafted one-off pieces, made from different materials with built-in battery driven clockworks.
Lobster clock
I have been fascinated by the sea and its life-forms since my earliest childhood.
The cheeky shrimp tried to leave its place on the clock but didn't get very far. This caused the clock to tip off balance.
The base and body of the lobster clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The animals are made of wire, mesh and modelling clay.

Snail clock
Snails are fascinating creatures, even though they are unwelcome in most gardens. This sculpture captures their elegance and fluid movements.
The base and body of the snail clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a curved pane of glass. The slugs and snails are made of wire and modelling clay. The clock leans backwards slightly.

Rat clock
Rats are intelligent, and one of the few animals that can laugh. They are curious and very quick learners.
The base and body of the rat clock are made of wood. In the bottom book is a hidden drawer. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The rat is made of modelling clay.

Spider clock
Not everyone likes spiders - but if you dare to take a closer look, you will see what fascinating creatures they are. This clock shows different spiders which you might find in the darkest corner of the attic, or in the shed at the bottom of the garden.
The base and body of the spider clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The spiders are made from wire and thread.

Stag beetle clock
The stag beetles antlers can be as long as its body. They are used to throw rivals off balance. The clock is off balance and has a crack right through its middle.
The base and body of the stag beetle clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass at the front and back. The stag beetles are made from wire and modelling clay.
Snake clock
Snakes were honoured and feared in ancient Egypt. The simple shape of the clock and the colour scheme are also influenced by ancient Egypt.
The base and body of the snake clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The stylized snakes are made from fabric and plaster reinfofced with wire.

Desert woodlice clock
The Hemilepistus Reaumuri (desert woodlice) is one of an estimated 10,000 species of woodlice. It is larger than most lice, and has adapted to living in the deserts of Egypt.
The base and body of the desert woodlice clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The lice are made from moulding clay.
Scorpion clock
Black scorpions on white stone – a classic colour combination. When a scorpion feels threatened it backs into a safe hiding place. Just like the clock face looking out from its den.
The base and body of the scorpion clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The scorpions and centipedes are made from wire and modelling clay.
Mole clock
Parents in England tell their children that they can tell the time with a dandelion. The number of times you have to blow until all the seeds are gone gives you the hour. That's why I chose a furry dandelion for the clock face.
Moles are also furry and not welcome in the garden - a curse for every English lawn.
The base and body of the mole clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The moles and worms are made of modelling clay.

Lizard clock
Egyptian lizards inspired me to build this clock. This is reflected in the shape and colouring of the clock, and the design of the clock hands.
The base and body of the lizard clock are made of wood. The clock mechanism is battery driven. The clock face is protected by a pane of glass. The lizards are made of wire and modelling clay.
