Changeable Art Clock

Lately, I've been looking for a clock for my room, but could never find a design that I liked and knowing myself, I'd keep changing my mind on what design I liked over time. Then it hit me. Why don't I make a clock that has a changeable face.

So, I went to Micheals craft store, picked up an acrylic frame and clock mechanism, and started planning out my clock. Above, you can see the clock mechanism and the frame. I chose a frame that holds a standard letter size paper, 8 1/2" by 11"; allowing me to either draw out the clock face or print up a design from my computer. 

I next drilled a hole in the center of the frame and its cardboard backing, just big enough for the post that holds the clock hands, to pass through and mount the rest of the mechanism on the back of the frame.

Next, I drew up a template for the placement of the numbers. That way, whether I hand draw the clock face or use my computer, the placement will be the same. On the lines, I not only put the standard numerals, but Roman numerals and Kanji ones as well, for quick reference when designing the clock face. After that it was simple to draw up my first clock face using some favourite characters from an anime series that I'm currently watching. But as you can see from the top pictures, I'm not limited;  I can unscrew the clock hands, take off the acrylic and change out the clock face for a new one. It's a nice and simple idea for any creative mind.
