The+Time+Is+Now

Above is my original plan for the watch project I'm working on. I listen to a lot of Jimmy Buffett, and in the middle of my "Wintertime Blues" I started listening to his song, Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On. The line that really appealed to me was "According to my watch the time is now, the past is dead and gone." I started to think about how it is so easy in life to get caught up on all the things that you are striving for and consequently get lost in the now. I wanted to create a watch that said 'NOW' to help remember to focus on the day you're living in, instead of always worrying about what's up ahead.

Final Product: I ended up using a box that I painted black. Then I found pictures from a recent Vogue magazine and used Modge-Podge to collage the pictures onto the exterior of the box. I then took a clock face and collaged the word 'NOW' onto the front of the face. I used a Starbucks Frappuchino cap as the base, and used a water bottle cap to secure the face to the bottom of the box. Finally I took some gold glitter and poured in into the interior of the box.
