plate clocks

late last year I bought this clock for my kitchen from trademe seller natelee. As you know I'm an avid lover and somewhat collector of crown lynn and the idea of this clock appealled to me just as much for being a piece of crown lynn as for it's distinct, visual appeal. Last week I bought these 2 clocks from the same seller. The safari brown clock is a gift for a family member and the ironstone clock for my sewing room.

my husband suggested that I might like to attempt making a plate clock myself. After all he reasoned, it's simply a process of selecting a plate, finding the right drill bit, carefully drilling a hole and then attaching a clock movement. I'm not so easily convinced. My hands would probably shake so much from the thought of drilling a hole in a crown lynn piece that I possibly crack more than I'd successfully drill!
