Challenge 8 - watch


Before I retired I almost always wore a watch particularly at work where I always needed to know the time for desk shifts and work commitments and breaks as a librarian. Now I'm retired I rarely wear a watch and love the freedom of being able to take as long as I like to do things. I don't live a scheduled lifestyle a lot of the time and enjoy the flexibility. When I do need a watch I wear this filagree watch which i love. It needs a new watchband and I haven't a clue what sort to buy...maybe another white one. I have loved all the watches I have had over the years. My old work watch I gave to a watch maker.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia

It is a beautifully-done watch! I smiled when I read this because I think the same way. Not work-no watch!

Oh this is wonderful! The detail and tiny colored flowers are fantastic. :) I just did The Watch Challenge too. Funny. :) Keep up that fantastic work! :)

It's beautiful! It looks so light and delicate. I'm a librarian too and so I know all about desk shifts and breaks and living by the clock. I only work 10 months a year, and for those two months I'm off, I try to never look at the clock and don't wear a watch either.Keep up the good work!

This is a lovely drawing of your watch. I like the way you've done the detail on the face, the coloured flowers and the tiny numerals. Well done!

A nice litttle sketch- I find now that I've downsized from car to bicycle, I need a watch - even though I'm not in the paid workforce.

What a pretty watch and even more special when you wear because you want to and not because you have to.
