Deutsche Beschreibung im Stricktagebuchvom 25. Apr. 2005
This was a gift which I finished bang on day six years ago for a very talented friend .
This woman knows every craft technique you can imagine and is a specialist for Sorbian Easter Eggs
On this website Birgit shows how to create those eggs. These artworks need 8 hours until they are finished.

The oval form of a doily I found in a Beyer-magazine from 1924 inspired me to make the Easter Clock.
After knitting I blocked it into egg shape.

It was a long way to get the semi-ovoid for the clock’s body. I found some machee out of wood flour and formed the corpus over an styrofoam-egg.
It had to dry three days and was polished several times before it could be painted.

When the paint was firm I mounted the clockwork which runs with a battery.
The clock measures 20 cm x 30cm

I made several other clocks but the pictures are awfully bad due to an antique digital camera from 1997.
