I had a blast making these clocks, and learned a new skill. It was my first time using resin, and installing clock kits.
12x12 Eclipse Clock
Each clock was individually handmade and has it’s own unique imperfections. I hand painted the tips of the black hands white for easy viewing. I chose a different eclipse phase (from beginning to end) to represent each number. The totality corona makes up the middle of the clock, and the solar prominence (unique to last April’s eclipse, circles around that, between the corona and number phases. The 12 is the full sun, 1-4 get smaller as the moon covers the sun, 5, 6, and 7 are totality phases of Baily’s Beads and the Diamond Ring, then 8-11 show the sun return as the eclipse ends. Crafting these clocks, from image creation, to final product, was a labor of learning and love. Visit my social media accounts to see stories I’ve shared throughout the process.
The clocks have different hand designs, the clock you receive will have one of these random hand designs.
I created these clocks to sell at a holiday vendor event. The event was wonderful, but I have 7 clocks left over. Now I share them with you to celebrate making it through a very busy holiday season! An after-holiday sale should last until the end of the first month of the new year, wouldn’t you agree? As such, my sale will last from January 13th until January 31st, unless I run out of inventory early. Thank you so much for being here, and checking out my clocks!

Thanks for your interest and understanding. I am currently only shipping to the USA. I am a very small, one person, business and I don’t want to take on the task of international shipping or taxes at this time. I will be shipping these clocks through USPS Ground Advantage.

These clock hands are made of thin aluminum, so you can easily bend them back into shape and adjust as necessary.
The hands push onto the middle post. If one bcomes loose, you can just push the center back down until it’s secure. If you need to remove the hands, pull ot the second hand first, which has the center pin attached to it. The minute hand goes in the middle, and the hour hand goes on bottom, closest to the clock face.

I painted the edge of a 12×12 board and sanded any rough spots. Then I attached the 12×12 image I created to the wooden board. Next, I sealed the image with mod podge. After that, I poured resin over the image to create a finished, glass like and protected appearance. Then it was time to drill a hole through to fit the clock kit into. I epoxy glued the clock mechanism to the back of the board because the shaft of the kit was not long enough to fasten with a nut. After that, I epoxy glued bumpers and attached a hook for hanging on the back. This will keep the clock flush with the wall without interfering with the mechanic/gear box. Finally, I attached the hands to the front and made shure they would turn without bumping into each other.
