What it is:

Unique commission-only portraits of your dog(s) in watercolor, surrounded by a beautifully hand made clock. Send me a picture of your cutie, I'll draw and paint him or her. The clock is made of several layers of recycled-fabric covered disks that give the clock a three dimensional look, topped by a thin layer of epoxy resin, giving it a shiny, artisan finish. Often the tail or legs of the dog stick out over the numbers which gives the clocks a big sense of movement. No static-looking stock dogs here. I have a variety of minute and second hands, some looking like lace, others with bones or stars at the ends. Sophisticated yet adorable, these clocks are the perfect gift for a dog lover. Be reminded of their wonderfulness whenever you check the time.

THE FEATURED CLOCKS ARE NOT FOR SALE, THEY ARE ONLY EXAMPLES OF WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU.

Feedback:

I recently purchased a dog clock from Isobel as a gift for my Aunt and Uncle. Their child is their dog (Lou is his name) and he completes their family. They were absolutely blown away when I presented them with the clock. The likeness was uncanny, and the originality of the gift was perfect for a couple that is very difficult to shop for. This is the first original art piece that I have ever purchased, and I now going to do this as a first option for all gifts. Thank-you Isobel!

Detail


I do take care. I am not a prince from Namibia. I am a real person who loves to make things and wants to make one for you.

Dog Clock!!


Here is a sample of what I do. Dogs, though wonderfully wonderful, are not the only animal I do--hell, once I did one of my dad's architectural partner for him to give to his wife as a Christmas present. I've done cats, I've done birds, I do husbands. Let me know, I'm here to build things for you that you will like.
