As a school teacher, I really appreciate you saying to read the directions and to follow them. Great advice for many situations! The clock is beautiful. I vote no on adding numbers. I like it as is. I do like the black hands. I think they are probably easier to read than the gold would have been.
David this clock turned out beautifull. For shore Fiona will be proud you worked out her idea of making flowers this way.. I did some of Fiona s flowers to but had always trouble with making them bigger. Untill the Spinner came, buth never turned out that big. I personly like a clock without ciffers. You see more of your creation by that. Have a nice weekend.
I love the clock. I cannot decide if numbers should be added. I'm afraid that numbers might take away from the design. Love watching you make this. I love Fiona's reverse dips too! I have not tried one yet, but will when I get more comfortable! Thank you for sharing!
@@dalialovesdoggies4361 For this particular painting? It was the same mix as the colored pour. Sheleeart blooms and sometimes the Sarah Taylor type paintings are the only time I use a different base.
I love it. Here's a tip for finding the centre of a circle, from a mandala dot painter. Draw around your circle onto a piece of paper and cut it out. Fold the circle in half, then in half again. Then snip off the corner, just a tiny snip. Place your opened paper over your painted circle and use a pen or pin to mark the centre. Easy!
Such a terrific job and such a nice Fiona flower😊 Black hands are plenty unless you wanted just 4 black stick markers for 12,3,6,9. Would not interfere with beautiful painting.
Sally's beauty supply has great gloves, I was a stylist for years and my hands were always in chemical's. The black gloves are the best and come in very big sizes. Your clock turned out beautiful and I think numbers would look nice.
The clocked turned out wonderfully! I think no numbers would look best. But if you did decide to add numbers, then I would ask your brother if his machine could cut out the numbers. So it would act like a sort of negative space where the numbers are.
@@LeftBrainedArtist one of my things is responsible paint pouring. Your data helps me to do that. So many channels don't give data. It's important to me so I can reduce waste and make art that has minimal environmental impact through waste. Maybe that's an idea or just my perception. You rock either way.
That was a great idea to make a clock. It’s beautiful! I’m a little jealous that you are so creative (jk)! I appreciate your tutorials and all the ideas you share!! Thank you!
I vote YES to adding numbers. As a mom with a special needs kid, I can tell you how hard it is for her to tell time on a blank clock or watch face. That could be a deterrent for people with poor eyesight, too. I don’t think simple numbers will detract from the beautiful art. Thanks for sharing this project.
This is such a great project. I haven’t mustered the courage to try a reverse flower dip in quite a long time, as previous attempts were epic failures. But, I love the idea of the clock. Instead of numbers (which could detract from the pour), how about just lines? Kanella has used a few clock kits without numbers and they look amazing. 🐻
Absolutely gorgeous and I think the black is better. Grease Monkey makes heavy duty gloves and the larger size is available, my SIL also has big hands.
This is gorgeous 🥰 Personally I wouldn't put numbers on because the spacing of them won't match the spacing of your flower petals. It's beautiful just as it is
It’s 5 *clock somewhere! lol. I think it’s beautiful, thin black -‘s for each “# spot” would be cool too. They sell those in the clock kit section. Btw, where/ how do you sign and date your pieces? Or do you? I find my old signature I used to use is not fancy enough and also a bit distracting!
I wouldn't add numbers...too much of a detraction. Most people are probably fine with it blank, so it's entirely a personal decision. If it were mine, I'd need something to indicate where the numbers would be...maybe just smallish white, gold, or black line markers where the numbers would be. Beautiful job, David!
I, for one, would like to see how you painted that. :) It turned out great! I've tried those reverse dips and haven't had real good success with them. They're harder than it looks!
It is creative! ❤ Have you used the Penetral lately? I would like to know how it fairs to the Australian Floetrol for cells? Thank you for sharing all of insights. I find them very helpful.❤
Wow this is gorgeous! It probably took you forever with all the different things you had to do, I hope you're happy with the result! It's very pretty! Did you use a respirator with the resin? I was told it wasn't safe without it.
Some are worse than others. I didn't with the craftsmart. I was in a heavily ventilated room and was only working with it for 5 minutes stirring and about 5 minutes of working time.
I like numbers..but thats just me... this turned out awesome...I've tried the reverse flower dip...let's just say disaster lol...Fiona makes it look so easy...
Not a comment, but a question…. When I purchased Elmer’s Glue, I mistakingly bought Elmer’s Washable Clear Glue instead of the Glue All. Will this work just like the Glue All to thin the acrylic? Or do I need to return the Clear Glue? BTW, your clock pouring turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your artistic skills in such a straight and well explained manner. My young grandchildren (7 & 11) 😊are anxious to learn and to try another pouring! We’re learning together and having fun. Thanks so much!
Great result, especially with the black hands. What did you put on the back for hanging? Personally I'd prefer numbers but they'd be small and along the rim so as not to intrude on the wonderful painting too much. Do you think you could add the clock mechanism to a canvas or would that be too flimsy?
There was a little hook you put in between the wood and the clock body that has a hanger on it. If you had a good washer on both sides it could work if it was resined. WIthout a hard coat like resin it would sage after a while.
I like it without the numbers. Why distract from such a pretty design/composition? I would leave it the way it is. And I like the black hands better. The gold was too close to the yellows in the flower. Lovely clock!!
Where do you find the objects to pour your paint over? I search the drinking cups area at the resale shops and have yet to find anything like you are using here. I've been looking for over a year! lol Btw, awesome clock. As a CPA I really enjoy your videos. Signed, Another Left-brainer :)
This is so so gorgeous! You always surprise me with your creativity. It's absolutely excellent. Can you please tell me how can we hang the Acrylic pour paintings on wall? Do I need to get it framed or there is some other way?
Depends on the size of the canvas. For 1/2" depth canvases you can put the saw hooks on an put them directly on the wall. I like to make my own shadow frames too. I never put glass in front of my paintings. For 1 1/2" and gallery wrapped paintings I like to put eye hooks on the inside of the frame (2/3 of the way up) and then string wire and hang them from wire.
Hi, Wonderful. I would not put numbers. Question about the kit. I have a record player that I am just finishing. Did you get the 16mm or 23mm? Thanks I love the pattern too. I just did a pour.
Leave as is, no numbers needed. So beautiful.
Thanks Joyce.
I say, leave it as it is. It's gorgeous!
Thanks Elaine!

Thanks so much Christine.
Beautiful. No more no less. And I love that T-shirt. 🙂
Thanks!
A CNC machine?...oh the possibilities! The clock turned out great. I think I like it without the numbers.
I know right?!?
The clock looks great. The only other thing you should do is seal the back of the clock, the bare wood, to prevent any warping from moisture.
That is a good catch Dale. I hadn't even though of that.
Hi David, great job on the clock. I love it without numbers and its truly gorgeous ❤

@@LeftBrainedArtist Help dear David. What house paint do u use please for the base for blow pour😅
@@dalialovesdoggies4361 For this particular painting? It was the same mix as the colored pour. Sheleeart blooms and sometimes the Sarah Taylor type paintings are the only time I use a different base.
@@LeftBrainedArtist what do u use as a base for Dutch pouring please?
@@dalialovesdoggies4361 Same paint I used for the colors. Usually floetrol and paint plus water to make it the right consistency.

We thought about that. Then coloring in the spaces or using some more resin.
Beautiful!!

True but when you master it, they are amazing.
Beautiful

Thanks Beverly.
This is so beautiful and genius, and I can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a blessed weekend 🙏 ❤
You too Nakisha.
You did a great job on that reverse dip ! I need more practice with mine - but I just keep painting and trying :)
