Barking Up The Wrong Tree

BARKING UP A TREE CLOCK


This product was made by hand. Click icon for more information. A whimsical look at the animal kingdom's hierarchy, the Dog Tree by Don Gidley and Sue Parke is hand cut from sheets of aluminum (by Don) and then hand painted (by Sue). The pair met while creating theater sets, so it's no wonder that this clock echoes that style. The flat pieces are layered on a "stage" to create depth, while the animals' expressions and body language give it a playful touch. Handmade in Canada.

Comments about BARKING UP A TREE CLOCK:

This clock is cute, but very flimsy and much smaller than I expected. It arrived with the crow completely bent over but it was easy to correct since the metal is so thin. The base is also very lightweight, so it doesn't sit well anyplace that will have the slightest movement. Mine was tilted so far back when it arrived it wouldn't stand up. Again, I just bent it into the correct shape, but it definitely wobbles when I remove or replace books from the bookcase I have it on. Such a cute idea, a shame that for[$]- they couldn't make it a liitle better quality.

Comments about BARKING UP A TREE CLOCK:

Loved the design - thought the 19" height referred to the dog, not the total height of the clock. If it were twice the size it would have been perfect! Sorry - my loss. Dory
