Here is some info about Laurel:

"I opened my Etsy shop in early 2010, just about year ago. When the idea first came into my head I didn’t know exactly what I was going to sell on Etsy. I had friends who were selling on Etsy and I became inspired to do something with my own art work. I was primarily a painter and printmaker of various mediums but didn’t like the idea of relying on my prints and paintings for an Etsy shop. I wanted an item I could combine my two dimensional skills with functional art.

I’ve always thought it would be fabulous to paint furniture, but I’m realistic about my space and shipping cost so I nixed that one and am saving it for my private hobby time.

I settled on clocks because I am a person of schedules and list and clocks have been my best friends since I was a kid. I use to collect funky wired clocks. I still have my favorite alarm clock; it’s shaped like a toaster and the clock face is the piece of toast that pops up when the alarm goes off. I have not used the alarm for years, but out of all the clocks in my studio, it’s the only one with accurate time.

Before Etsy I had done art shows with my prints and paintings and even some small craft items on the side. Selling was not new to me, but an online marketplace was. I have been practicing art since I was a teenager. There has been no limit to mediums I will play with. Illustration, batik, mosaic, all painting and printing mediums, clay, felt, wire wrapping and even some casting are just a few of the messes I’ve made over the years. It helps that I spent almost four years working in a local art store helping others with their projects and inspiring people to play with new mediums."

Here are some great shots of some of the clocks that Laurel has created.. I absolutely love the music note one! SO funky!



Along with Laurel creating these fantastic works of art, she also has a blog that she puts her heart and soul into.

 

"My blog is called The Power of Creativity because it’s truly what I believe.  There is so much opportunity in the process of arts and craft.  Everyone has the ability to create; all they need is a little shove and a bit of time and encouragement to apply their energy.  When we create things it is a therapeutic process and we learn a little more about ourselves.  After all, the hardest person to know is you; and creativity is a powerful force that can help."

Laurels work is perfect for any funky-hearted, creative, lively person! I think this is the perfect gift for anyone- the perfect combination of scheduled madness! Personally, I don't really have the "scheduled" part down in my life yet- so I could probably use one of these clocks ha ha.
