My reverse clock movement arrived!

[shadesofmauve]

I got a teensy package of tiny mechanical bits in the mail today - a small reverse clock movement. I'm resisting the urge to take it apart and see how it ticks, that being a shroedinger type situation with at least a 50% chance of stopping the cat clock dead. I have a use for this not-a-clock.

Tonight, I shall endeavor to make Wool Cycle spin slowly backwards. If I'm successful, I'll have one more piece to bring down to State of the Arts gallery, and my first ever kinetic artwork.

I think it may have been bluwyngz who suggested it move (she certainly named it), so many thanks.

In related news, another painting sold from the gallery last month, but I'm not sure which one. Going by price, it was either Chillin', Ewe're It, or Sheep Are Not Alone.

I'm very much enjoying mucking about mechanically for a bit, even if my tools are X-actos and illo board rather than wrenches.
