Altered Dominoes

This week over at ATCsforALL in the Zentangle Social group our challenge is altering a Domino. I made 3 turning them into magnets.

First  I started by sanding the back of the domino

Then I apply gesso to the sanded domino applying layers which I sand

making it smooth

Then I draw my design. Some use felt pens, some paint

since I was experimenting I tried using Micron Pens they worked great!

Once I am done and satisfy then I sealed mine with Diamond Glaze.

And, others use other sealers too, you just have to experiment, see

what works for you.

ALTERED DOMINO & DOLL

This little gal likes to snatch dominoes especially if they are charms just the right size for her. The face is hand needle sculpted the body is cloth .The spool I use for the stand is a thread spool. Can yo believe that the spool has a price on it for 55cents now that was a long time ago!

Charm Domino Doll

I tried to keep my little Domino Gal, but she just would not let go of those domino charms so off she went to her new home in the UK to live with Jan. This was a swap I did over at the Altered Domino group on Flickr.

Lately I have been working again on altering dominoes. This one was so much fun it is a combination of painting, stamping and collage.

Then I sealed it with several layers of Diamond Glaze

Altered domino Key Chain

One of my many hobbies is altering dominoes. This one I made into a key chain for a swap over on the Flickr site I belong too. We were to make a key chain using the them Travel. 

 

I decided on this one to collage it I started out with a map that I cut up the size of a domino. Then I decided that I needed someone traveling what better than a fairy. From there I wrote a couple of sayings:

Tour the Country Side

Road Trip

Once I was done with all my embellishment I then started layering several coats of Diamond Glaze. It took a few days to complete for each layer I let dry 24 hours. Once this was all done then I made the chain with rings which I accented with beads then added the key ring. Now what we have is a

If you have not been over to see ATCsforAll you should. There are a lot of Artist over there working in different mediums.

Altered Domino Book

The more I am getting into altering Dominoes the more I like it. You see here a book that I made out of two dominoes. I took the dominoes apply alcohol inks giving it a wood look. Then I measure the two dominoes together to get the page sizes. Folded in half then I hand stitch up the middle. Then I decorate each page. Once done with that I applied it to the dominoes. The view you are seeing here is the back view and side view of the front of the book. To view this little book up closer please visit my flickr site.

Altered Domino

I have discover that I like to alter dominoes. It is fun, you take a domino and change it appearance making it into something else.

Here I made a key chain, my first attempt at it. You could call this a Collage Key Chain with an original back ground. Once I came up with my design then I layered it with a nice glaze. On the back of this key chain I do have may label on it and it is also glaze just like the front. This was a very fun project. Right now I'm finishing up on a altered domino book.

ALTERED ART

Over at ATCsforALL I have gotten involved Altered Dominoes. Hey, it's a blast. This one I first did the background with Alcohol Inks then I started layering for this is a collage. Well, the first layer I didn't care for but what to do it was already glue to it. So I took some gold acrylic paint and painted it then I cut out a very small fairy and added it after I accented it with Inks. Then comes the sealing. I was introduce to Diamond Glaze, I love it! I put several coats of Diamond Glaze over it letting each layer dry. Then once completely done I made the key chain with beads n wire.

Back View

This is the back view, I tried writing on it but wasn't happy with the out come. So I made a label add it on the Diamond glaze over it. Turn out quiet nice I may say.
