Wake up to a Brighter Day with Clocks and More by Paper Scissors Rock

Pamela Corwins paintings draw us in for a closer look. Her clocks and noteboards help us manage our lives. It all adds up to Corwins basic philosophy as an artist: To create affordable art for everyday life."

OLYMPIA, WA -- Many shoppers assume artful hand-made gifts are not in their budget. Mixed media artist and clockmaker Pam Corwin offers an affordable option with her imaginative, whimsical clocks. Corwin adds several new designs to her collection for the shopper in search of the perfect little gift.

Corwins new clocks are a delight to behold, with charming images and surprising mechanisms. My alarm clocks have floating second hands which add to their narratives: The cat clock has a tiny mouse which appears to magically run around the cat, and on the dog clock, a small bone circles around the face of the clock, counting the seconds," says Corwin, who has been a painter and illustrator since childhood.

Paper Scissors Rock offers alarm clocks in 24 different motifs, which are reproductions of Corwins original watercolor and acrylic paintings.

In addition to alarm clocks, buyers may select wall clocks (which resemble tiles, but are feather-light), note boards, and magnets with the same humor and imagination as the Studios alarm clocks. Multi-colored borders with intricate designs, along with flowers, squiggles and other motifs function as a picture frame for each image.

On Corwins magnets and note boards, the narratives become three-dimensional miniature theatres, as the key characters", laser-cut in wood are applied to the scenes. The note boards serve as message centers, with each design holding a Post-It® notepad.

Corwin attributes the popularity of her craftwork to its thoughtful mix of kinetics, color, and fantasy. Some of Corwins best sellers feature clever twists on favorite American phrases, such as: The Early Cat Gets the Bird". Among other designs is a martini glass with the phrase Every Hour is Happy Hour."

Retail prices range from $5 for a magnet up to $30 for a wall clock. Alarm clocks sell for approximately $18 each, retail.
