I keep forgetting that I haven't finished putting pictures of all my prop replica projects onto Tumblr, so I figured I'd share one of my favourite projects to date: Recreating the 13 hour Lantern Clock that appears at the end of Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

This was a build that I was really proud to accomplish because it felt a bit like solving a puzzle, both figuratively and literally. I spent a lot of time trying to find existing items that I could cobble together to get the shapes I wanted. For instance the columns of the clock were made out of a wooden thimble, mini baseball bat, candle stick, a cake decorating column, and some o-rings.

Admittedly I was pretty close to chucking this project in the trash at a few points, mostly because I became convinced that it'd never look good. There's always a point with projects where they just look a little ugly, and it's sometimes very hard to tell if they're ugly because they're unfinished, or ugly because they are in fact ugly. Thankfully this project was in the former category, and it all came together eventually.

Other materials used in this project include foam core, some stick on decorative tiles from the dollar store, half of a fillable Christmas ornament, some EVA foam, and some wooden finials. I ended up getting some custom laser cut fretwork done for the top of the clock, and the details on the clock face were cut from vinyl.

I completed this project right around the time I started beefing up my photography skills, so I did a little photoshoot with this clock using some thrift store curtains and brick work made out of insulation foam. The 'floating' effect in the photo was achieved just by taking the photo at a slight tilt. Simple, but very effective!

Labyrinth is one of my favourite films ever. I never get bored of it. I love that one of its message's is never let go of childish things or friendships. Never be ashamed of what they meant to you as you get older.

Muppet fact of the day: One of the Muppet show's pilot episodes was called "The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence", but the Muppets are owned by Disney now and Disney really doesn't like the word "sex" so they insist on just calling it "the Muppet Show Pilot"

anyway reblog this forbidden image of Jim Henson in front of the Sex and Violence title card to make Disney mad

I've slowly been chipping away at drawing scenes from that imaginary Muppet retelling of the Princess Bride, figured it was about time to share what I've drawn on Tumblr!
