@Maria: Thanks! Men are a little trickier to figure out what to make them, but they do tend to appreciate what you make. I would like to think of some good jewelry designs for men, since I think they are often left out!

@squash: Thank you too! I think the fish clock turned out pretty cool. I linked my name to it if you want to take a look.

Hi, Cindy! The clock is so beautiful and original… And what a lovely gift for a man! I’m also curious about the fish clock, so I stay tuned. ;)

Bravo Cindy! How often does it seem like polymer clay is more for us girls making jewelry and knicknacks. I like the fact that men can be included in receiving gifts from the polymer world too! Of course, I would love a clock like this in my home too. :)

Thanks Anna! I originally thought I might put the CD’s inside the clocks for strength but when I baked the bases, they were very strong and didn’t need them. Plus the CDs couldn’t be baked in the pieces without warping. (I tried baking a CD by itself to check and it started to curl after 5 minutes, so I abandoned that idea!)

Glad you liked it. Will be showing the other clock I made in a day or two so stay tuned for that!

I think you choice of using a CD for sizing was great. Many desk clocks are too small to read or take up too much room. Thanks for sharing this innovative project. The faux turquoise looks great too.
