Woodland Crochet Clock

Fabulous things come stomping out of the mysterious lands of Japan. From giant Godzilla to the pointy-eared magic of Totoro it is a crafter's inspiration heaven. So although I can't read a word of Japanese I am always on the look out for crafty Japanese wonders and this crocheted woodland cuckoo clock will show you why.

The cuckoo clock is part of a collaboration of 50 artists and designers. Each clock is built around the same plain design by artist Naoto Fukasawa.

This particular offering is breathtakingly intricate with its fungus, flowers, moss and its own little punk caterpillar to finish off the whole thing. You can more pictures of the cuckoo clock here for a closer look.

From plain cuckoo clock to a forest home for a tiny bird with a bit of clever crochet. According to the site the clock was purchased by lottery winners the very day it went on show. A worthy piece of arty craft to spend your winnings on in my opinion.
