Bespoke Clockface LLCrafts Orders

Grandfather Clock Face Restoration

Do you have an ‘Old & Rusty Grandfather Clockface’ ……… LLCrafts at Galgorm, Ballymena can restore it for you back to its former beauty!

Artist Louise Lester (BA Hons) can paint any beautiful design on a customer’s clockface, producing a perfectly unique and bespoke item in all its glory! Even if the old clockface is rusty and aged, bring it along and see it transformed.

All types of clockfaces can be restored, including this bespoke decorated sample of a ‘Moon Dial’ Clockface. The beautiful detailing of the numerals around the top curve and the delicate ‘world globe maps’ along the top edge, helps to display the ‘Moon Dial’ movement of this clockface.

Another beautiful example of Louise’s work is this ‘Steam Train’ commissioned clockface. The important aspect of this particular order was the quaint steam engine train scene, which the customer wished to be brought ‘back to life’ and brightened up. The scene was then complimented with lovely delicate corner flowers, to finish the design.

As you can see, the degree of damage and rust on this clockface before restoration was quite severe, however when fully restored the end painted result is refreshingly elegant. ClockFace_2

Canadian Visitors at LL Crafts

 Canadians Visiting Northern Ireland 

It was wonderful for two lovely tourists from Canada, Alastair and Anthony, to call by LLCrafts and visit me at my display outlet in Galgorm, Ballymena. They had admired my artwork and wanted to purchase two of my ‘Original Painting Prints’.

My ‘Mourne Mountain’ Northern Irish scenes caught their attention, with beautiful irish cottages nestled in the landscape. ‘Charcoal & Pastel’ was the medium used, which produces a lovely textured effect and creates very striking paintings. The pair of prints were ordered in a large scale size of 23″x16″ (59cm x 41cm) and it is fantastic that two of my ‘Irish Artwork’ pieces of art will be hanging in a home in Canada!

So, any visitors and tourists to Northern Ireland are very welcome to come and have a wee peek in my outlet ….. just contact me beforehand please! You might just see one of my crafts that you would love!

Painting Class – Floral Demonstration

Flower Demonstration shown to my Ballymena Art Class

I thoroughly enjoyed demonstrating these lovely ‘Lilies’ using the art medium Pastels. The students at my ‘Tullygarley Community Centre‘ painting class, just outside Ballymena, found it fascinating how the painting gradually developed.

I chose the beautifully contrasting colours of yellow lilies and purple background, to create a very striking atmosphere to the painting. The soft pastel lends themselves perfectly to the smoothness of the petals and leaves, and also the purple background presence.

Why not join one of my relaxing ‘Cross Community Painting Classes’ – suitable for all artists (experienced & beginners) ………. Have a creative hobby!
