Came back down the aisle a second time and had an "aha" moment. I picked up a little ceramic veggie type thing from another shelf and with a glass light fixture cover I already had, turned plastic to pretty.
I tore the clock mechanism and clock face from the base. I saved the parts for my daughter's steampunk art and used the clock face and hands elsewhere. (Remind me to show you later.)
Get out the trusty ivory spray paint and ta da!
I know I am going cloche overboard at times but what doesn't look more special under glass?

I can't believe the result! Really beautiful! I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen the potential. Great job!

What a perfect base for your cloche - I love it!!
So creative. It looks beautiful. Maybe I'll take a second look before I walk by something that looks like this. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! I'm impressed. You are so creative and clever to think of this and it turned out so cute and a one of a kind too!
That is so pretty! Great job!

OMG! That is fabulous! What a terrific idea and way to re-purpose! I really love this!
Oh my gosh!
I am so inspired. I love the creamy white for sure, and to add the cloche to it, was just devine. I love the little books you chose to put under it, with the strand of pearls, it is beautiful. I have (2) new cloches that need bottoms for, and I am going to be on the look out. Go to my post for Martys cloche party last week, I have a pretty good idea for the cheese dome that you might enjoy. I loved the way it turned out too. Have a great day. Country hugs, Sherry
Perfect transformation!!
Love,
Marilyn
Wow! You are too clever! I'm learning a lot from you, too! ;o)

Pam, you know that I, personally, am not a big project person. But, I absolutely love this idea and I think I could even do it! Your follow through is amazing. ~Mindy
White spray paint = God's gift to junkers.
Fab job!

Wow..now that IS a metamorphosis! Talk about turning the ordinary into the extraordinary...great job!
I am also hooked on the cheap plastic items at Goodwill right now. Items I would never have purchased because I am not a fan of plastic, but if you look beyond their makeup you often find pretty shapes and configurations. Your metamorphisis is fantastic. Sea Witch
Great re-purposing idea...very clever and quite beautiful!
This is wicked clver girl! HOLY COW>
What a cool piece! I find a lot of neat mirrors and such that are made out of resin. When you paint them up, you can't tell they're cheap-o. Thanks for following my blog and I have signed up to follow yours. It looks like I will get lots of inspiration from you!
Genius!!! I'm lovin it and I'm followin' you now. I can't wait to read more!
Rhonda
WOW!! Absolutely fantastic! I love love this idea. I must chippy chop on over to some thrift stores and find me some plastic stuff!! Great idea!
FABULOUS! I so love it! I would've puicked it up because I love anything so detailed, but I never would've thought of turning into THAT! SO cool!
What a great idea! Isn't it lovely to re-purpose discarded items into beautiful treasures?
wow! I didn't see that coming! very creative!
