Announcement
To begin this little story:
It was once upon o’clock
When a jumping jackanory
Called to his ticking flock:
“Come and spin a yarn with me
Around this loom of time,
And I’ll tell you horologically
Of the spinning wheel of rhyme.”
************************************
Once upon o’clock is a new story in the strange library of
Rima Staines, Painter, Illustrator, Maker of Things & Teller of Tales.
She creates unique original oil paintings on rustic chunks of wood and makes them tick.
These unusual handmade clocks gather together Rima’s fascinations with stories, automata, medieval contraptions, folk art, & all things a little bit odd.
Rima the clockmaker notes the irony of her early school report:
“Rima has no sense of urgency”

***NB*** The custom clock order list is closed at present while I fulfill the long line of orders for folks waiting. When the list opens again I'll make it known on the blog, so please keep your ideas cooking and get in touch with any questions (~rima{AT}the-hermitage.org.uk~)
This shop may appear to be an empty emporium... but that's because the clocks flit in and out in a tick and a tock!

5 out of 5 starsThis clock is absolutely beautiful, you have to see it to really appreciate the detail. It's such a great thrill to open the package and find out what Rima has interpreted from the ideas you gave her, if I win the lottery I will commission one a month! Thanks Rima - will be in touch

5 out of 5 starsHow is one to describe magic? And beauty? And resonance? The true artist touches the soul when the eyes fall into their creation. I have no words to thank you for this jewel, to give the gift of time encapsulated in this beautiful piece of art is twice as precious as only a gift from the heart can be. nThank you Rima, many blessings from both of us.

5 out of 5 starsthis was the most wonderful experience from start to finish - Rima is fun, kind, and completely professional to work with, and her artwork never fails to astound me. this custom, hand-painted clock exceeded my expectations in every way - not only did Rima completely honor the spirit of what i desired the "message" of the clock to be, but she did it with such grace and beauty, distilling it into a work of art that i will treasure and pass down. i really don't know what else to say, other than this process is beyond HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if you're lucky enough to get a slot in this lovely artist's roster. xox.
