A CLOSER LOOK AT DOMINO NECKLACES
Welcome back!
Someone asked me to show a closeup of the finished dominos in my Domino Necklace. Please remember that there are two sides to a Domino. The side with the traditional dots and the Blank Side I decorate both so the necklace can be work two ways.
About a year ago, I, for some unknown reason , purchased a box of vintage dominoes. In the back of my head was a plan to develop them into some sort of jewelry. Out of this thought came the necklaces pictured here. I used unmounted rubber stamps to create an image on both sides of the domino. The coloring was done using a combination of chalk, colored Sharpie pens, watercolor pencils, alcohol inks, craft paints, and Pearl Ex powders. A side hole was drilled into the top of the domino for stringing either leather cord or dyed silk cords.
Dominos present surfaces that can be decorated in a variety of ways and with a variety of materials. Your imagination is the key to creativity. The pendants can be side drilled and turned into necklaces, bracelets, pins or whatever you choose.






This is just what I needed. Of course I could try to find these things on the internet (well, I did, and that’s how I
got here) but I couldn’t find such detailed information in one place.
