Schapelle Corby has made a new life for herself after her release from an Indonesian prison in 2014, and is now making a living as a successful clockmaker.
The convicted drug smuggler, 46, stunned her Instagram followers on Wednesday when she unveiled her new range of clocks.
In a video shared with her 164,000 followers, Corby showed off several colourful timepieces which retail for $218.90.
She then posted a montage video which showed the process of making the clocks.

It comes after Schapelle made a hilarious joke after cricketer David Warner’s desperate plea for the return of his stolen baggy green.
Warner took to Instagram on Tuesday to say his backpack, containing his baggy green, had gone missing in transit between Melbourne and Sydney this week.
‘Unfortunately somebody has taken my backpack out of my luggage which had my backpack and my girls’ presents in there,’ Warner said ahead of the SCG Test against Pakistan.

‘Inside this backpack was my baggy green. It’s sentimental to me. It’s something I’d love to have in my hands walking out there this week.
‘If it’s the backpack you really wanted, I have a spare one here. You won’t get into trouble.
‘Please reach out to Cricket Australia or myself via my social media. I’m happy to give this to you if you return my baggy greens.’
The retiring Warner said he had spoken with Qantas about the situation.
‘A couple of days ago our bags got freighted via Qantas. We’ve gone through CCTV footage, they’ve got some blind spots apparently,’ Warner said.
‘We’ve spoken to the Quay West hotel, who we absolutely trust, they’ve gone through their cameras and no one has gone into our rooms.
‘If you are the person who was either working for the company driving it to and from the airport or working for @qantas and have, by chance, just wanted the backpack, I have one for you.
‘I would be grateful if these were returned asap.’
Schapelle got almost 250 likes when she responded to Warner’s post by commenting: ‘Qantas! Well do I have a story for you’ accompanied by an exploding head emoji.
Schapelle picked up plenty of likes with her reaction to Warner’s news as she joked about her conviction for smuggling marijuana into Indonesia in her luggage in 2004
Viewers on Instagram couldn’t get enough of her joke, reacting with comments like ‘love your work’, ‘just spat out my drink’, ‘no better comment can happen for 2024’ and ‘god tier comment’.
Schapelle’s legal defence team raised the possibility that a Qantas baggage handler planted marijuana in her boogie board bag when she was on trial for smuggling the drug into Indonesia in 2004.
That defence did not work and she was found guilty in 2005.
Daily Mail Australia does not infer that any Qantas employee was in any way involved in the drug being found in Schapelle’s luggage.
