Wake up to a Brighter Day with Clocks, etc. by Paper Scissors Rock
Artists, Pamela Corwin adds new designs to her line of handmade clocks and magnets. Corwin's business philosophy is to make art functional and affordable.
Olympia, WA (PRWEB) June 24, 2005 -- Mixed media artist and clockmaker Pam
Corwin, owner of Paper Scissors Rock, adds several new designs to her collection
of whimsical alarm clocks for retailers in search of the perfect little gift
this season.
The new
alarm clocks are a delight to behold, with charming images and surprising
mechanisms. “My alarm clocks have floating second hands which add to their
narratives: The cat clock has a tiny mouse which appears to magically run around
the cat, and on the dog clock, a small bone circles around the face of the
clock, counting the seconds,” says Corwin, who has been a painter and
illustrator since childhood.
Paper Scissors Rock offers alarm clocks in 25
different motifs, which are reproductions of Corwin’s original watercolor and
acrylic paintings.
In
addition to alarm clocks, buyers may select wall clocks (which resemble tiles,
but are feather-light), note boards, and magnets with the same humor and
imagination as the Studio’s alarm clocks. Multi-colored borders with intricate
designs, along with flowers, squiggles and other motifs function as a picture
frame for each image.
On Corwin’s magnets and note boards, the narratives become miniature
theatres, as the key “characters” are laser-cut in wood, and then applied to the
scenes. The note boards serve as pretty message centers, as each is designed to
hold a Post-It® notepad.
Corwin attributes the popularity of her craftwork to its thoughtful mix of
kinetics, color, and Continued fantasy. Some of Corwin’s best sellers feature
silly twists on favorite American phrases, such as: “The Early Cat Gets the
Bird”. Other designs include ordinary objects, such as a martini glass with the
phrase” “Every Hour is Happy Hour.”
Paper Scissors Rock offers smart solutions for
sales and display dilemmas, including a space-saving rack for the clocks which
requires only 12” of shelf space, and cards printed with Corwin’s biography are
provided as gift enclosures. Retail prices for products in the Paper Scissors
Rock line range from $5 for each magnet up to $30 for a wall clock. The alarm
clocks cost approximately $18 each, retail. There is a $200 wholesale minimum on
opening orders, and a $100 minimum on reorders.
