Parts and pieces.

A Giant Puzzle.

When Mark acquires clocks it's like a puzzle.  Actually, it's like hundreds of puzzles all mixed together.  Often, the pieces don't arrive at the same time, sometimes over days, months or even years.  It's a gargantuan job of identification and categorization. 

In The Shome

The Shome is where it all happens.  It's a shop and it's a home.  These are pictures that show some of the process involved in the restoration of a clock that is now complete.  Hopefully I can come up with a picture that shows how this beauty started.  Also, I'm not Mark.  I'm Lana and I'll be writing about Mark, the Shome and the Journey of a clock.  Thank you Britta Trygstad for some of these awesome pics!
