I need to get a job.

Check out more images of this Father Time doll and how I made it, by viewing the full entry below. I’m particularly proud of the solution I found for his skull.

What’s this snail shell got to do with anything?

Here is pictured me gluing the shell to a golf tee and a plastic golf ball.

This whole thing sprang out of my first attempt to knit something. I knitted a length of grey cloth that was full of dropped stitches and irregularities. I justified dressing Time in such shabby attire on the basis that he probably doesn’t have many friends, let alone a tailor.

The scythe is made from a twig, some black ribbon, and a blade-shaped piece of aluminium that I cut out of a needle threader.
