More Decorated Dominoes

I've been busy decorating more dominoes to use in my craft projects. In addition to making domino books, there's potential for their use in wearable art, art quilts, scrapbooking, mixed media such as fabric journals and even for greeting cards. Here are some pictures of some of the new designs. Click on them for a larger view.





A fellow LibraryThinger wrote me an email suggesting that I create domino books with a literary theme inside related to an author or a classic book and try to sell them through bookstores. An interesting idea.

Domino Books

I'm busy taking lots of classes this year and having loads of fun. I just finished another class with Carol Murphy from Joggles. In this class we used dominoes, special inks, rubber stamps, paints, papers, glitter, gems, charms, gold leaf pens and whatever else came to mind to create Domino Books. I bet you never heard of them before and didn't even know that you needed one. I've posted some pictures of what they look like opened up (back and front) and then all folded and tied up.

These books can be used for fun little gifts or party favors. I'm planning to experiment with the process a bit and perhaps use single dominoes on art quilts, fabric journals, in scrapbooks and greeting cards. I am inspired.

The book on the right stamped with the the candid lady saying "look closely and you might see" and the book with the rather staid lady in the middle are from Catslife Press domino stamp collection. A link to the designer Susan's website is in my favorite link list.
