Handicrafts: Ministry of Silly Walks clock

Anyone familiar with the Ministry of Silly Walk by Monty Python? Well, I saw a clock made from that idea by Indubitably jetsam and I KNEW I had to make one of my own. All idea credits go to indubitably jetsam, I'm just an idea thief.

Materials used
- Canvas
- Decoupage paste
- A print of the body and legs + numbers 1-12
- Clock machinery

This clock still has a small problem. It works until the clock strikes 11, when it clogs up and refuses to work. Mu hubby said there might be something wrong with the machinery if it continues.

And why is there no number that is between the numbers 7 and 9? That's a joke from a Discworld. Wizards cannot say the number that is between 7 and 9. And this is the way it's marked in the Discworld Ankh-Morpork board game. Yeah, I'm a sucker for inside jokes.... >.<
