Well, I missed the deadline for Simon Says this week, silly moo....... but over at the
Craft Barn we've been playing with dominoes. Now I did not have any dominoes in my stash other than tiny (and I mean really tiny; look with a magnifying glass to see tiny ones!) so off I went scouring the charity shops in search of said items...... well I did not find any of those lovely ivory plastic ones that they have been using but found a set of old black wooden ones. So I have adapted the way I did my dominoes but think they will still fit the challenge as I have used a Krylon leafing pen and alcohol inks etc etc! But, boy did I have fun......... so much so that you will get them in two posts ; or perhaps three.....
So here goes with set number one.
I used images from Crafty Individuals with a seaside theme and glued them to the dominoes. When dry I trimmed and sanded the edges before covering the sides and top edges with a silver Krylon leafing pen.
Then I painted everything with a layerof Rock Candy distress stickles and left to dry. Once dry I rubbed broken china blue ink all over and wiped off with a damp cloth afterwards.
The starfish , shell , words and gem embellishments were attached as shown. The shells and starfish were coloured with alcohol inks and a blending brush.
Overall I love the way they turned out.....
Then I made this little pair.....
And this little cutie pie too.........
I made more but I don't want you to get "domino fatigue" so i'll post them tomorrow

Think I spied your teeny dominoes in your configuration box on your side bar..tis fabulous. Love the mini books!
Happy crafting. Gez.
These look terrific and they are not the easiest of dominos to alter and you have done wonders with them. Will be interested to see how you use them in future projects. Annette

OMG..these are adorable, I love "Tiny Projects" and lots of things popped into my "Tiny" head.
You have great creative talents so glad you share them. Thanks
You did a great job, Neil. Stunning dominoes!!
So I was wondering where you got your dominoes. I've always wanted to try this but don't want to break up the set we play with. LOL beautiful! xxD
Stunning! I would love to know if you seal the sides with anything or if the Krylon Pen stays. Id love to make some into jewelry.
Great work!
I just happened to see these on pinterest and they led me to your blog. I love them, and I love your blog as well.
