For the next 12 weeks, I’ll be doing Star Wars Characters for a wall clock I’m making for my husband (a VERY belated birthday gift) 😃
Since he’s a Star Wars fan, I asked him to choose the characters.
I enjoy watching all the movies with him, even though, most of the time I have no clue what’s going on. 🤣 But at least I know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars … so there’s that. 😄
The first one is Darth Vader
3.8cm wide & 3.9cm high
On the clock, he will go at number 12 … since he’s on the “dark side” 😁
Princess Leia
4.4cm in diameter
Luke Skywalker
4.4cm diameter
He looks as if he’s ready to take over the dark side 😆
Obi-Wan
3.8cm in diameter
4 done, 8 more to go
I’m having lots of fun making these Star Wars characters, something different and out of my comfort zone
Yoda
8.3cm wide & 3.6cm high
The force is strong in this one 😃😃
Chewbacca
3.6cm wide & 4.2cm high
Bounty hunter, Boba Fett
4.1cm wide & 4.9cm high
C-3PO
3.8cm wide & 4.2cm high
C-3PO‘s friend R2D2
3.7cm in diameter
The way he speaks to 3-CPO in whistles and beeps is so cute
Millennium Falcon … of course!
3.5cm wide & 4.8cm high
The clock won’t be complete without it 😄
Stormtrooper helmet
3.5cm wide & 3.8cm high
The most challenging character of them all. I can’t remember how many times I had to redo him, but I got it right in the end.
The last Star Wars character is Darth Maul
3.8cm wide & 4.2cm high
I personally think he is the ugliest of them all 😂
For the clock, I traced and painted the death star and my husband decided where the characters must go. I also painted the clock hands green and with the red seconds hand, it symbolizes the lightsaber colours.
I must admit, this project was totally out of my comfort zone and I realised why it took me so long to start with it. It was overwhelming and scary. I decided to make it part of my #2021pcchallenge, that way I can make one character per week and get it done. As soon as I made the first character, I felt more confident, and seeing my husband’s reaction every time I showed him the next character, made me more determined to finish this project.
As the weeks went by I got more and more excited about it and was looking forward to putting the clock together.
I am happy I finally made his one-of-a-kind birthday gift … even though it’s a few years late. 😆
