DOMINOES





I tried to take pictures of the dominoe necklaces I have been making but the finishing glaze makes it hard to photograph. This class was taken from Zinnia also. They were fun to do. Dominoes were found at the flea market and a house sale. One set has coca cola on the back and not sure if I took a pic of that. If not, will show more later.

The photos I used on this bunch were of Alice in Wonderland which we all had so much fun with in swaps and the gorgeous scene that Susan Elliott embroidered for DMC. I intend to make some with angels, Christmas, etc. I also have some mermaids, roses and old fashioned ladies to use. I bought the collage sheets that are made for domino size from a gal in NZ. What a wonderful world when we can place an order and pronto it is appearing on your computer from another country. There are also plenty on etsy.

I like these Freda - are you soldering the edges? If so, you're doing a great job!!

Well for goodness sake - what will people think of next?! I played Dominoes with my brothers when I was a child, but 50 years on, I have no idea what happened to that set. I still see them in shops occasionally, and the last thing I would have associated with them is repurposing them into something like this. They are gorgeous! How do you do that? Is there a tutorial somewhere on the Net?
