March is already here. The month heralding Spring, officially: March 20th – Spring Equinox.
However this series of posts was triggered by an ‘unfortunate’ [to me at least] event.
An event that takes place every year on the last Sunday of March [in our part of the world] and returns to its blessed normality on the last Sunday of October.
It is called D.S.T. [Daylight Saving Time] and this year it is March 26.
Almost every year I whine about it one way or another. This year however I thought of taking a different approach. Celebrate the hours until we finally lose one on the 26th.
Not making sense? Well, when time switches to D.S.T. we lose one hour as the clocks move forward one hour. I’ve even done a tribute to that poor lost hour, see here.
So under the title “Time Diversion’, I’ll be posting clocks I’ve designed using my original artwork. I hope you enjoy and -to those of you who feel the same way- make the transition a little more tolerable!
I thought it appropriate to begin with March,
so here is my March clock or:

This is a brilliant piece of work 🙂
Hi Marina, Time has never looked so good!
Awwww….thank you, my friend! 🙂 Have a lovely week. 🙂
Wonderful, Marina!
Thank you, my friend! Wishing you a lovely week ahead. 🙂
AND … March marches on. How does the time fly by. I cnnaot believe we are in the 3rd month of the year. Where have I been and how have I fallen so behind.
Special hugs and greeting to you my dear friend …
Isadora 😎
Ah, Isadora, I ask myself the same question! Mid March and a new week is here! Very very special hugs to you too, my dearest friend! 😘😘
😍
Happy March to you, Marina! ~xx
[why didn’t I see this?] My apologies for this very late response! Happy rest of March, my dear friend!!! 🙂 xxxxxxxxx
My clock keeps me boring this time Marina … 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you, Cynthia! 🙂
With my job, time is a moot point. Sometimes we shoot days, sometimes at nights, 12 -16 hours a day. You know what would be great? If time added 2-3 hours a day that we were not allowed to work.
However, your clock is gorgeous! Will these be part of your S6 collection? I already own one of your Art Clocks. I love it! I still want to do the pic, but my back is still a mess from the bicycle accident.
I’d love it if S6 did table clocks. I’ve a friend who collects clocks, but not wall clocks. I’d buy him a clock in his birth month. Still, what a great gift to buy someone… a wall clock of their birth month.
Much love to you, dear Marina! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Awwwwwwww……. Resa, you say the nicest, sweetest things!!!!! You know, I was saying earlier that it would be fun having a clock that jumps randomly to any hour it sees fit, well, I’m thinking, maybe we should have clock that would offer secret extra hours. No one but us would know about them, yet somehow they would exist. Extra hidden hours in another dimension! Food for thought!!!! 😉 Till then, happy hours, my sweet friend and take care of that back!!!!! 🙂 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
An excellent clock as a theme for March. Here’s something that might be more angst regarding DST … ours starts two weeks earlier than yours!
Now, I don’t have to tell you who’s fault this is too, do I?!!!! 😂 Being an optimist, I see it as you being pioneers! 😉 Thanks, my friend!
Nice. At least we eventually get the hour back… although it is quite a while to wait until October.
🙂 It is though, isn’t it?! I can’t help but wonder where that poor hour lingers during those months! 😉
I think it must migrate to the Southern Hemisphere for the winter down under.
🙂 🙂 !!
This works beautifully as a clock Marina, very bold and cheerful! Hope March is a lovely month for you honey 🙂
Awww, thank you, my dear Gilly and I hope so too for you, a beautiful and joyful month! 🙂 xxxxx
Brilliant idea Marina! Just love your art work❤️
Aw, thank you so much, Pam. Happy new week, my friend. 🙂 xx
Aquamarina Three clock. Now that is beautiful. I remember us doing this collaboration.
I still cherish what we did with your painting and my words. 🙂
What did you do Charlie, is there a link?
Yes, Marina and I, collaborated. Her painting and my poem. Stop by my page and scroll down you should see it. If not, I’ll send you the link. 🙂
Here it is: https://marinakanavaki.com/2016/04/06/aquamarina-three-in-collaboration-with-charlie-zero/ A collaboration I was very proud of! 🙂
Thank you, my dearest friend. So do I! It was a beautiful collaboration and I do hope we do it again! 🙂 [https://marinakanavaki.com/2016/04/06/aquamarina-three-in-collaboration-with-charlie-zero/]
Marina. Thank you for the song on my blog. I have been listening to it 7 times now. 🙂 You brings smiles to me. 🙂
😊🙄😀😊😊…so do your words!!! 🙂
I adore the clock (and hate daylight savings time.) Actually I tossed watches a few years ago and just flow with time as it is. (But that cell phone time display nag is always snarking and prodding…how about a phone app clock display with your art? Would make staying in sync with time so much nicer)
What a lovely thing to say, my friend! I’ve got another idea though… why not a clock without hours, or a clock that would jump randomly to any hour it feels like! Hmmm… maybe my next project! 😉
I never mind about losing an hour as I’m pretty confident I will find it again in in the Autumn/Fall! 😉
A-ha-ha…yes, well! 😃😄😆😄
