The Process....




A 'Blank Dial Pan'. Lesley's sprayed a background finish on the metal & then measured for the circles where the pencil markings will go for the hour and minute hands....






















...drawing out the circles w/ a mechanical pencil....













This is a photocopy of one of the images she's got to replicate for the portion called the "moon face" that moves behind the dial pan.








This is another face someone sent her that has elements that are similar to what she's got to replicate on the above (other) project.




Lesley does restoration - patching and repainting -whenever possible, to keep the value of antique clocks at their highest. Sometimes, she does the entire thing from scratch (as shown in the above project), and the client is actually building the clock workings after they get it back from her.
