This wacky numbers clock is what I chose to make for the gift exchange.  I followed the methods laid out in fungus amungus's instructions in Make a Cut-Out Valentine's Day Card to lay out the numbers in Illustrator.  I used several different fonts and sizes for the numbers, and made some into outlines for an eclectic look.  Then I used the Epilog laser cutter to cut it out of 1/4" acrylic.

I designed some clock hands and cut them out of 1/4" mirrored acrylic.  I attached these to a store-bought clock mechanism, and used washers cut out of the same acrylic to keep the hands spaced apart.  I finished off the hands with another circle cut out of mirrored acrylic, and offset from center to add to the lopsided feeling of the finished piece.

I hope Gorfram enjoys her new clock!  I sure had fun making it :D
