I’ve been working my way through the labs and I’ve made it to Lab 10-01. Really enjoyed making clocks so I thought I’d share two of them.
More from Lab 10-01 Lace
Lynda, you are having fun! It is amazing how the same tutorial will yield such different results when the user adds their own personal touch. I see you added some work in turning the digits on the right side for the traditional clock face! Good work.
Thanks Carole, It took a minute to figure out how to get the numbers right side up but other tutorials helped me figure it out. You are right, I am having fun with these labs.. 🙂
we need a tutorial on reversing those numbers I worked out what was needed and the only way I could turn them was putting each on a layer, but only half the clock seemed to go right, so a tutorial please. xx
NIce Clock Linda well done
posting these again as they should be on this page I guess.In order to get the digits in the “right order”, you would have to turn them individually by 180 degrees, while keeping them on the same line.
TURN ALL OF THEM 180
I turn each one in increments , I think it was fliping them that cause the problem 9-12 and i-3 were ok also the 6 it was the rest I could work out what they were doing the same principle didnt seem to work for them .You would ONLY turn the digits from 4 to 8. You don’t touch the others. Did you try that?
Hello,
Below, clock face that I have improved and hour hands in 2 versions : arabic and roman numeral suivant Lab 01-2020.
And hour hand made with tool pen and brush ornament. All published on 7 January on What are you working on (in Jan 2020).
No I didnt, but I was trying to change them all to stand straight. Ill go back to it another day. thank you x
I also need to try the hands you way, vectors are my weakness so did it half and half .
If you arrange the 4,5,6 and 7 as illustrated in red ,before you turn it into a square the numbers will be in the correct position.
ERRATA : There was an error on my previous message. Here, the corrected version.
Trish, I found the trick. Once the numbers are done, do it like this:
1 horizontal mirror as Carole recommends
2 select the numbers 4-5-6-7-8 and turn the selection into a layer
3 remove the digits 4-5-6-7-8 on the horizontal mirror layer and then make vertical mirror (this layer is the base)
4 layer the numbers 4-5-6-7-8 and turn the selection into a layer for each digit
5 on each layer make image flip horizontal
6 When finished, merge layers
7 copy this layer on a layer 2400×2400
8 distortion effects polar coordinatesThat’s it, it’s magic despite a little work upstream!!
Thank you Mireille and Lynda, I was close on that, and will give it another try . Thank youx
Mireille, lovely work on the clock and you did a great job on the hands, well done Hon!
This is my traditional clock face. I read all the advice given and in the end … did it my way mixing and matching, lol!
This is my antique lace frame. Photo is by Jazmin Quaynor from Unsplash. Thanks for takin a peek!
One more for the antique lace frame. Just the frame this time as I am too tired to look for a suitable photo, 🙂 Thanks for takin a peek!
Sometimes, when I choose a tutorial, I wonder if the members are going to find some use for it. I am always surprised! I guess this clock one was quite popular! And the lace!
Annie, your clock is very realistic and I like it very much, the background too. Moreover, you have surpassed us in terms of the positioning of the numbers relative to ours. The hand clock are very well done.
Cassel, I do love these tuts and what I find most fascinating about the antique lace is the rustic, antique appearance of the finished project! Thank you very much.
Thank you very much Mireille! It has been a lot of fun playing around with these tuts and I must say that you have inspired me with your ornamental clock hands so I am off to play again! <3
Hello again scrapbook campers. This is another wall clock that I created this morning. I think I am all timed out for now, 🙂 Thanks for takin a peek!
Carole, I only turned 4-7 but I think you’re right , 4-8 is probably better. It’s hard to tell if the 8 is upside down or not but I think it is.
It could depend on the font as for some, the 8 could be flipped and you would not notice while for other fonts, it is VERY noticeable.
Hello campers
Here are 2 other clocks and lesson on the “fake shadow” blog helped me greatly to highlight the numbers and other elements that should have no shadow.
