With a Clock emboirdered in it. it can be one big clock in the middle of the pillows and blanket or it can be a bunch of small clocks on the pillows.

Most clocks are 12 hour ones but in some departure lounges such as at railway stations and airports 24 hour cjocks are used.
When the French Republican calendar was in use (1794-1806) they used 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, and 100 seconds in a minute, as part of a wider decimalisation programme. Clocks were made to this description but they were only used in a few cities and the idea did not catch on."
aviophage replied: "There have been many thousands of different designs for clock mechanisms and concepts of mechanical timekeeping, clock dials, and clock cases over the history of civilization. Much too much to cover in a space like this.
Please remember that the purpose of your education is not to give you facts, but to teach you how to find the information you need when you need it. You can learn to do this.
Try an internet search on "history of clocks." Or, if you want to be really cool, go to the library. If you aren't sure how to use the library, ask the librarian. In some schools it's called the "media center."
Have fun!"

you could also have a hanging clock or one that stands on a desk.
its quite an open question."

Dave S replied: "A sundial would be fine"
beachsand4me replied: "Brushed aluminum back, with black acrylic numbers mounted on surface, starting point of course play with ideas.
Or go opposite of the "tech" look and do a kids clock, bright crayon colors, no straight lines for the hands on the clock, scribble coloring background graphics. Just start laying things out and find a look that comes together.
Good luck!"
Lola Lavintoshi replied: "OOOo Oooo I know! Do a melting clock, that would be good as you could compare it with the artist Salvador Dali!
Just an idea, but good luck :)"
Kate replied: "hello! there is a website:
which might give you a few ideas- lots of images of different styles and interpretations that you might be able to get a few ideas from.
if you're not very creative you could make a simple wall clock just by cutting out an elegant shape out of wood or plastic to make your board, and then make a stencil by cutting into a piece of paper (like making a snowflake!) and spray paint through the snowflake stencil onto the board, maybe mark out the hours with buttons or something?
good luck! :0)"
daisyfay replied: "How about a "FAT CAT" clock ? You will need two paper plates -- one for the body and the other for the head. Staple them together, one on top of the other. The top piece would be the head, fashioned with ears and face. The bottom piece would be round and where the clock would be.
Paint the cat bright yellow and orange-brown -- maybe with stripes. Your clock would have black numbers and hands. Outline your cat's features with black. At the bottom, you could fashion a tail and staple that to the body.
If you wanted something simpler, you could use the plate as only the cat's face. The lighter and brighter the cat the better the clock will stand out."

Pick any normal everyday item ( high heel, soda bottle, etc) something that most people would have laying around their bedroom. Then! turn it into a clock!"
ukquilter replied: "My son had to do that. He took one of his interests - soccer, and made the goalkeeper's hands reaching out for the ball in the goal mouth be the minute hands, and the legs the hours. He painted a simple background of crowd with a white goal mouth in front of them and behind the goalie. It made some very amusing 'saving' positions!"
Adam the Engineer replied: "Here's an idea for you:" Anyone know where I can buy the Bomba Alarm clocked designed by Will Vanden Vos? (see link)? check it out: ( I am sure you will want to buy it too!)
FYI - The little clock shop doesn't sell it anymore. Matt L replied: "good ol ebay check it out" I need to find 12" diameter blank clocks? I found them once doing a web search and I didn't note the website address. I think they were American and they were a complete clock but with no numbers, so you could put your own clock designs inside. Mashishka replied: "I'm pretty sure these can be ordered blank, but the minimum quantity is 25. You should contact a salesperson for complete details.
" Films with distinctive objects in them? I am currently working on a GCSE project for resistant materials.
