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.

  1. 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.
