The beginning of an altered domino necklace...

I decided to do something fun with domino game pieces that I have here for Altered Whimsey. I enjoy recycling things into new treasures and this was a cool challenge. Believe it or not, this was a domino at one time. =D I hope that when I am finished it will be a snazzy necklace for the shop =D

I just wanted to share what I have put together so far. This is only the front. I used a graphics program to change the hue's in the image before printing it. I also painted the domino in a matching design along the sides and back, added sparkles, and a clear jewel as an embellishment that is permanently attached using E600. When I am finished this pendant will be sealed with a gel medium that is water resistant, and yellow proof. I hope to add the chain or necklace parts soon and once that is finished and the painting drying is complete I will take more pictures, and hopefully with a model as well =D Thanks for checking this out and stay tuned for more creations, and to see the final product.

Native American ATC's

Today I created some long overdue ATC's for the group Artistic-Creations. They are in a Native American theme. Just thought I would share, I enjoyed working on them :)

I believe the 'Encourage, Trust, Faith' ATC is my favorite of the two... I wanted to make one with alot of elements and another that was more simplified.
