ALTERED DOMINOES SWAP

I always thought that dominoes were just for playing  the game. I was wrong. You can make stuff from dominoes. Like jewelry or you can stamp on them and color them, drill holes in them. I know because over at Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack we are having an altered dominoes swap. Oh yes, I said swap. You decorate 10 dominoes and you get 10 back. You design what you want any way you want. Well, up until a month ago, I had never done a swap in my life. I felt like I would be the person who did not get it done on time. So I never tried it before. I was always hearing people discuss the swaps that they were involved in, but would never participate. Well, here I am doing my second swap in less than a month. The first was the charm swap. It went OK. so now I am doing this domino swap. I have already started playing around with different designs and colors. Still not quite happy with anything that I have done yet, but I am still working it. here are a few that I have come with.

This one I stamped directly onto the domino and and coloring it with alcohol inks. and then I put seed beads around it and covered in glossy accents.


These are some more of my trials and errors. Not quite happy with these yet. Still working on it.
