Frozen Charlotte’s Time Machine

Front of Charlotte’s closed Time Machine
This little brass pillbox sat on my work table for several years – it was something my mother had given to me and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it.
One day I bought an extremely tiny “Frozen Charlotte” doll, and in an attempt to keep it from being lost in the black hole that is my studio I placed it in the pillbox.
And that’s when the time machine idea popped into my head.
After that, it was just a matter of encasing Charlotte and some watch gears in layers of ICE resin.
For the time machine’s door, I scratched the old black paint with sandpaper, layered the date dial from a man’s watch and a face charm over a clock gear, and applied a little Gilder’s paste for color.
This is my favorite kind of creating – when unrelated things suddenly come together almost effortlessly!

Such a neat way to give a new life to special odds and ends that were waiting for their story to begin.
