You know, they could have gotten a gold or silver permanent marker to increase legibility instead of showing off their lack of artistic glitter skills. It looks like they just sneeze glitter on it and said, “Looks good to me!”
That would actually be awesome if it weren’t for the glitter and the “few stick-on graphics.” And also the weird randomness of the picture with the warped record and a clock. OK, really, I just like the campy old picture. Why’d they have to do that to it?
I would like to address the crazy-big hand in the picture. If your clock won’t stand up for the picture, how is it supposed to hang on the wall in my space time themed room?
I dunno, I think it’s pretty neat. I mean, sure it probably took all of three minutes to make, and sure I’d never buy it, but I can still say it’s neat without committing anything else. I can still pay a little empty lip-service in an effort to seem like less of a jerk, right?
“I like to do crafts. I work with glitter quite a bit. Don’t worry, I make tough stuff like daggers and skulls. The thing about glitter is, if you get it on you, be prepared to have it on you forever ’cause glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.” -Demetri Martin
#14 Snark-o-leptic Cesar – I noticed that, too. “Winding your own clock” must be a space euphemism. Wesley Crusher wound his all the time in the holodeck.
Here’s someone who does actual neat stuff with records, sans glitter, and doesn’t want $35 dollars for it, either: http://chicalookate.etsy.com
As for this, I’m glad the listing is title SPACE TIME because I thought it said SPACE LIME and was trying to figure out what cosmic citrus had to do with anything.
Since it’s relevant to this “craft”, an excerpt from the bio:
“If I can find a way of making something old useful again I will. That is a part of New Mexican culture. It is meaningful and important on an earth with dwinding resourses.”
I’m certain authentic “New Mexico culture” does not involve melting LPs and attaching glitter.
This confirms my suspicion that there is superior life on other planets.Glitter is banned on 48 planets , so the glitter felons come here to make tacky shit.
#9 bondgurl D__n, your room is space-time themed, too? Time to call in the trans-dimensional decorators; they can use time, but I want something edgier than X-Y-Z.

Your photoshop is sooooo much better than the original…. Seriously, that thing looks like an 80s era elementary school art project–back when it was still politically correct for kids to make ashtrays in school.
Wait a minute! It all makes sense now… I bet his mom decided to clear all his old art projects out of the attic and he’s now “upcycling” them on Etsy….
Melting vinyl releases toxic fumes that can cause brain damage. Um, the glitter application seems to indicate that these are prepared in a kitchen without a window.
I haven’t posted before but I read the posts every day. I had to post when I showed my bf the clock and he yelled- it’s a cock clock or a crotch clock lol I think I need to melt me some records lol
geektastic, great minds think alike…LOL
i so wanted to do that very photoshop but then got distracted by the awesomeness of the latest regretsy ebay post….but i am glad someone took the time to execute it- well done ♥
I’m sorry, but it just looks unfinished. There’s loads of room on the top edge for a vagina. If the creator were really clever, he could have melted the shape of one onto it there, when he was huffing over the Bunsen burner.
I don’t want this clock, at all, but this is a fine specimen of regretsy fuckery if I ever saw it. It’s tacky, it’s lame, it’s feeding the fantasy of the 18 year old geek living in his 30something body. It’s the perfect piece of shit.
What time is it, you ask? It’s Space Time, bitches.
AUGH I need “What time is it? It’s SPACE TIME, bitches” on a mug or tshirt or tattooed on my forehead or something. STAT. I think that Stephen Hawking might need to be featured somehow.
Feel free to thumbs-down me for defending any aspect of this space-diaper, but #70 and others: I believe the center of the clock is positioned in such a way as to suggest it’s his ray-gun. And by ray-gun I mean ray-gun, not “ray-gun”
@ Stretch (#21): I believe “upcycled AA battery” translates into “dead, useless, and (for a bargain 35 US dollars) your motherfucking problem, not mine”
Glitter is hte (;) ) spawn of eeeevil – looks ugly most of the time – and comes off only to multiply in your room and to be found in the cracks between floorboards 20 years later… (and that clock is just… fugly)
I can’t get over the “decrorative bowls” in his shop. Has he ever heard of spell check? Is misspelling required to get into regretsy? Proof read, people!
@ tejasmom – since he consistently misspells it, he might honestly believe it’s written that way (he’s from Russia, English isn’t his first language). Not an excuse for the weird be-stickered, be-glittered objects though…
March 11, 2010 at 1:35 pm
That’s fucking it: screw healthcare. There is a bill that needs to be passed that is of far greater importance.
You should have to be licensed by the government in order to use glitter.
March 11, 2010 at 1:37 pm
What? No glow in the dark stars and moons?
March 11, 2010 at 1:37 pm
“WHAT TIME IS IT”
Hammer time.
As in, a hammer applied with great force against that thing.
March 11, 2010 at 1:38 pm
TIME to give up your SPACE on Etsy, I’m afraid.
March 11, 2010 at 1:39 pm

March 11, 2010 at 1:40 pm
the hands of that clock are well-placed though… must be on purpose…
March 11, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Clocks I would consider purchasing:
1 Beer Thirty Clock
2 Clock that only shows 4:20
3 Cosmic Yak Clock
4 Bryant Gumball Clock
5 Turkey Skants Man Clock

March 11, 2010 at 1:44 pm
The space-time continuum is warped after all—like an LP in a hot oven.
March 11, 2010 at 1:46 pm
It’s just not a space clock without a morbidly obese cougar.
March 11, 2010 at 1:46 pm
i don’t want to steal your thunder, killer. but this CLEARLY should have been labeled WHAT TIME IT IS.
i’m just sayin’.

“#10 IscreamUscream :

Have you seen the rest of his shop? It’s all melted LPs.
March 11, 2010 at 1:49 pm
It looks like spaceman has his left hand on his clock!
March 11, 2010 at 1:49 pm
I would consider this if he was riding the space yak

Does every listing on Etsy have to be a “run on” sentence?
March 11, 2010 at 1:56 pm

March 11, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Here is a good one-this is legit!

“…Its just a jump to the LEFT, and a step to the riiiiiight”
Please someone explain WTF is an “upcycled AA battery”
and yes glitter can be BAD – just Google Gary Glitter
March 11, 2010 at 2:02 pm
I can’t decide.
Would this make David Bowie proud?
Or would it make him vomit?
March 11, 2010 at 2:03 pm
i’m sorry. i don’t speak glitter. or freaky ’70′s album art.
March 11, 2010 at 2:04 pm
He is from St. Petersburg! More Flordia crap er I mean craft!
March 11, 2010 at 2:05 pm
#5 Reminds me of “Helen’s” appearance on Martha Stewart and the empossing powder fiasco…
March 11, 2010 at 2:05 pm
He’s set his oven to warp speed.

Well, at least he used an old Jim Croce record. They actually sound better warped.
March 11, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Is that a clock in your spacesuit, or are you happy to see me?

It’s ok to rock out with your clock out – but this?
March 11, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Can anyone tell me what a “decrorative” bowl is?
That’s what most of the items in his shop are.
March 11, 2010 at 3:11 pm
#43 I think it means you can’t put dip in them.
March 11, 2010 at 3:12 pm
“decorative” bowl=old LP no resale store would take, melted.
March 11, 2010 at 3:12 pm

I kinda like it too. I would use mine as an ashtray though. For when I need to empty out the Etsy Pipe.

March 11, 2010 at 3:25 pm
@LeeLoo,
maybe even “ludicrous speed”
March 11, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Sometimes, Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should.
If he had stopped with just the picture on a melted-record clock, it would have been cool.
March 11, 2010 at 4:20 pm
@geektastic–your Space Yak clock is a quantum leap beyond…
March 11, 2010 at 4:28 pm
I remember those stickers, excuse me, stick on graphics! We got them in elementary school for selling wrapping paper and things.
March 11, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Melting vinyl releases toxic fumes that can cause brain damage. Um, the glitter application seems to indicate that these are prepared in a kitchen without a window.

Call 911! My finger is stuck! Damn superglue…don’t take the picture yet! Aw, shit…
March 11, 2010 at 5:47 pm
OK, when I was a kid, I remember a “Boys Life” magazine that had instructions for making a clock out of an old LP, with domnioes for hands.
Rinky-dink, but looked better than this.
March 11, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Sorry, dominoes for numbers…
Must have been sniffing the modeling glue again.
March 11, 2010 at 6:14 pm

I’m sure the dude in the space suit would look more horrified if that thing was in front of a mirror.
March 11, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Well, we meet again scary space man, but this time I have the upper hand, as your gun has a clock stuck in it! Mwa ha ha!
March 11, 2010 at 7:19 pm
It looks like a soiled space diaper.
also
#13- I think I love you.
#17- My man calls glitter “raver scabies.”

Raver scabies. That is beautiful.

Can Stephen Hawking be shooting through space, wearing sunglasses and/or shooting laserbeams out of his eyes?
March 11, 2010 at 7:59 pm

it is clearly 4:20 for the creator of this clock. i like how the clock hands are coming out of dude’s crotch.

In space, no one can hear you scream….
God what a waste of supplies! If you’re going to melt down vinyl records, you should do something like this, simple, yet awesome http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=28624987 (although this one is done from a laser disc).

#1 I agree.
March 12, 2010 at 2:22 am
Upon further inspection my suspicions of blue space boobies were dashed. I’m sad.
Though I do still like this melted brain warp o’glitter.
March 12, 2010 at 5:10 am
Things that would make this item awesome:
1. The melted LP is “Leonard Nimoy Sings the Songs of Star Trek”
2. The photo is from a magazine cover story by Arthur C Clock.
(OK, that’s all I got)
March 12, 2010 at 7:22 am
As said in my roommate’s art class, “Glitter is the herpes of the art world.”
March 12, 2010 at 8:07 am
I especially like how he calls them “stick on graphics”…THEY’RE STICKERS, COME ON. SAY IT PROUDLY.
March 12, 2010 at 8:12 am
I can’t get over the “decrorative bowls” in his shop. Has he ever heard of spell check? Is misspelling required to get into regretsy? Proof read, people!
March 12, 2010 at 12:00 pm
@ tejasmom – since he consistently misspells it, he might honestly believe it’s written that way (he’s from Russia, English isn’t his first language). Not an excuse for the weird be-stickered, be-glittered objects though…
March 12, 2010 at 4:55 pm
*psst* Seller says he’s Spanish, living in N.Mexico,
shop location in St. Petersburg – like Florida?
Or maybe he’s roaming in Wyoming.
March 12, 2010 at 4:59 pm
And why did he photograph it on his pillow?
Couldn’t find a hook to upcycle & glue on the back?
March 16, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Anybody else notice that the price to ship this item with another item is higher than the price to ship just the clock?
It’s like they’re going to punish you if you’re dumb enough to buy more than one item from their shop.
November 25, 2010 at 5:15 pm
i thought this was an ash tray
