Recently I spent time in Spain tracking the footsteps of the Great Salvador Dali. His famous "Melting Clock" paintings have always been an object of my affection. While I was there, I was taken back by the magic created by the papier mache artisans in Spain and Southern France. These whimsical, papier mache clocks are a product of that inspirational journey. They are show-stoppers, and fantastic conversationalist pieces. Truly, a one of a kind gift for any Dali lover. In the tradition of the beloved European papier-maché carnival masks, these clock sculptures have been constructed for suburb durability and strength while offering a relatively lightweight hanging form. Over the course of many days, each sculpture must endure a process of layering multiple grades of papier mache over an unyielding, hand sculpted armature. Its during this vigorous process combined with an artistic eye to detail that each sculpture finally starts to capture its own weird and wonderful pose. After applying a generous base coat, I breathe life into each form by applying premier acrylic paints and fanciful finishes true to my signature style. Each clock becomes its own unique work of art. Quality is of the utmost importance to me. To fully weather the test of time, the final clock sculpture is double coated with a water resistant protectant. The Quartz clock movement uses one AA battery which is included. All clocks are signed en verso. 30 day money back guarantee when returned in original condition. Shipping non-refundable. *********************************************** The Melting Clock Sculptures come in a range of various sizes. Dimensions are rounded up to the half inch. Length is measured vertically from highest point of clock to lowest. Width equals longest distance horizontally across clock. If there are any aesthetic attachments, wire hanging hooks or other protruding embellishments, those are calculated into height/width dimensions as well. *********************************************** Each clock is 100% handmade by Moné Musel. Individual prices are reflective of the size, materials, time and skill involved in each of these individual works of art. These are highly collectible, truly unique pieces of original art. They look magnificent when displayed with others in the collection, and have been priced very nicely to encourage their collectibility factor. *********************************************** I use Fed Ex Ground to ensure safe arrival of your artwork.
