Clockless Moon Clock

I bought this broken clock/jewelry case a while ago...


I've had a kinda/sorta idea what I wanted to do with it but it's been sitting for ages waiting to be poked by a bit of inspiration. FINALLY, after much fussy and fiddling I've ended up with this...


I'm pretty pleased with the transformation but I can't help but feel it's missing one little something. What that something is, I have no idea but I'm sure that one night, months from now, as my head rests upon my pillow, just the right thing will shake me awake :)


The moon is rather pleased where he sits... so I know he's not the problem.


For now, I'll take my cue from him and rest, be still...


... loads of lovely things are born of rest and stillness and trusting just the right things will come along eventually.
