• Take seashells and crush them with a hammer into smaller pieces. (more akin to dust)
• Mix the seashell dust and river sand with epoxy resin.
• Check the consistency of the mixture to make sure it can be spread easily and isn't too thin.

• Spread the mixer on a flat surface and give it a shape. We gave it a random, diamond-like shape.
• After spreading, pour some clear resin onto the mixer. This was done so that our base turns into strength. We are using a slow-drying epoxy that takes 24 hours to dry.
• Make a hole in the centre of the base using a stick. This hole was made as a reference for the clock.
• Make the seashore by adding some white sea sand and seashell dust particles.
• To create a blue ocean water texture, combine the epoxy blue colour with epoxy resin.
• Pour blue epoxy and then clear epoxy on the base and mix them to get different effects of depth. Repeat with 2 to 3 layers, giving 24 hours' interval between each.
• Mix the epoxy resin with the white epoxy colour and
• Pour it near the beach to create sea waves.
• Use an air blower to spread the waves, and play with it till you get a satisfying texture.
• Leave it to dry for the next 24 to 48 hours.

• took a seashell silicone mould and poured colourful epoxy to create seashells of different types. Wait for them to dry, then take them out of the mould.
• Set a few resin seashells on the base of our clock with the help of some clear epoxy. This gives an enhanced feeling of seaside serenity.
• Apply some diorama moss powder to the higher lands on the ocean to give them a green (land) effect.
• Add some white sea sand to make the shoreline more realistic.
• Finally, add a layer of clear epoxy to coat the ocean surface.
• Let the epoxy dry for another 24 to 48 hours. Cover the project with a tray to protect it from dust while it cures.

• Make a hole in the centre of the clock base by using a drill press.
• Make a room for the clock machine by using a drill press from the back side.
• Set the clock machine once your clock room is complete.
• Install the hanger hooks from behind by screwing them

• Now that our clock machine is fixed, it is time to fix all the clock dials.
• Finally, the ocean clock is complete and is ready to be hung.
