Altered Domino Magnet

This another attempt of mine to Altered a simple Domino game piece. It was really fun to create.

The domino was painted black. I actually colored in the black and white stamped image with colored pencils and attached it to the domino. I added a crystal gem, and some golden sparkles around the edges of the domino to highlight the image a bit. The domino is coated in a water proof, yellow proof gel sealer, and to finish it off I added dangling beads, and the magnet to the back using e600.

I really am enjoying altering these game pieces, I was originally going to make this into a necklace but thought that maybe it would be "too much" for that. Funny how things turn out in the end, aye?

Results from a technique...

This is the results from a background tutorial ...It's a marbling technique. It was pretty simple actually... I took an old baking pan and filled it about 1 inch thick with white foam shaving cream (not the gel kind)... I then took acylic paints and dropped in in various spots, then used a plastic knife and "sliced and swirled lightly the top of it. You cant swirl too much or it gets muddy looking... Then I took my watercolor paper and placed it lightly on top, pressed really really lightly and lifted. Once that was finished, I went to my sink and I turned the water on to almost a drip and rinsed the shaving cream off after about 2 minutes (when I thought the paint was settled.) It was fun and messy *lol*

This is actually March's Technique Challenge over at Artistic-Creations... Im thinking about creating a few atc's or maybe skinnies with these, or even an arch, or some 3x3's or 4x4's... oh goodness who knows what I will come up with *lol* It should be interesting to use these in a project though. :) Just thought I would share! Try it out, I would love to see what you come up with... its something really fun to try with your kids =)
