Domino effect

I remember somewhere in the dark and distant past reading an article about using different objects as a base for altered art.

So the little grey cells started working... It happens sometimes lol...... And off I went in search of some materials....

And I found a box of old dominoes !!

Now for some creativity ........ I covered the domino front with a variety of alcohol inks primarily pink sherbet.

Then I randomly stamped a Debbi Moore swirl stamp over the alcohol inked base with Versamark ink pad, and embossed the swirl design.

Obviously the back was still looking like .. Well.. A domino , and I decided to use a product called metal magic to cover the back and hide what the original item was... In truth I didn't like the deep dotty bits!

It took a few goes, ie several small layers to fill in the spotted indents and I liked the effect as the metal magic melted over the edges a bit too.

The domino was drilled with a dremel tool to make a small hole to which I attached the silver pendant bail.


To complete the pendant necklace I used a pre bought cord and ribbon "chain" in complimentary silvery colours but you could easily make your own.


Hope you like the finished pendant and I am looking forward to using the rest of the box of dominoes for more pendants and altered art.
