Remember these antique Victorian watch faces I got when I was in London last year? Well, I think now is a good time to use them. There are also some tiny new clock parts in the pile as well. I plan to stitch them onto my painted Back to the Future canvas today! Yay! :D

Great foresight to have bought the watchfaces! Happy WW
That should look great! Did you have that in mind when you bought the watch faces, or was that more of a "these are cool, I'll use them eventually" kind of purchase?
Interesting! Looking forward to how this piece will turn out. The loose arrangement here looks pretty perfect as it is now. I like the pretty pink mother-of-pearl face at the top. :)
very cool!
uber cool.
They'd also be great for making some steampunk jewelry.
interesting pieces!
Here's my entry. Happy WW!
Just wonderful, you have a very creative mind/eye.

That could be another focal to your piece, besides the DeLorean.
very vintage, love them
I have a small box of watch fixings too -- usually at the garage sales in the summer they can still be found -- my home town is where the Elgin Watch was made for many, many, years and there was a watch makers college here too -- so for a long time there was a lot of "watch things" floating around. Not so much anymore though -- so glad you found some goodies.
Be sure to set the hands to 20:00 hours on all the watch faces.
that way, when it's pirate day again, you can claim the work is called "Pieces of Eight!" ;-)
