Clocks!

Acme Animal - specializes in whimsical tongue-in-cheek animal clocks and sculptures.

 

Bridget Hoff, owner of Falling Leaves Studio  – creates truly interesting multi-media collaged wall art, mirrors and clocks called "totems".  Each "totem" is balanced with wonderful graphic color combinations and many revere an inspirational message.   New for summer are clocks with dog and cat inspired messages!

Paul Long - strives to combine fine art craftsmanship with function and affordability.  By design, the outer shape of each piece is created through the artist's original technique of glass carving.  This is accomplished by high-pressure sandblasting.  Some pieces are carved again in a free-hand style for additional surface texture.  Reverse painting is done by hand on the back of each piece.  A variety of acrylics and lacquers are used to produce depth and richness of color  Three coats of high density paint and two of lacquer paint are then applied to protect the original painting.  Table clocks are then custom fitted into a routed base that has been painted with up to five coats of lacquer and then sealed.  Each clock is indeed an example of art with function to be enjoyed for years to come.

Schlabaugh & Sons - create Craftsman clocks and bookends in traditional and contemporary designs, incorporating Motawi Tileworks, (handcrafted in Ann Arbor, Michigan) in many of their  woodwork items.
