For the Love of Dominoes

Do you find miniature works of art

enchanting?

I was totally mesmerized

the first time I saw

a book made from

two dominoes.

I've since made a few,

this most recent for a Valentine swap

at

An Altered Place.

 

I think it's all the fussy little detail required

working on such a small palette

that interests me.

(You can click on the photos

for more detail.)

 From The Heart

The cover is embellished

with tiny pearls.

The rose images are highlighted with

Stickles & Liquid Pearls.

 Inside of book

The images I chose are from

Lisa's Altered Art.

I used Stickles, Liquid Pearls,

tiny beads and bling

to accent.

Covers

I used a shabby rose fabric trim

around the outside

of the dominoes.

Probably the most difficult part

of making this

was adding the tiniest ever

pink pearls to the center

of each rose.

 

Pieces of vintage seam binding

serve as closures.

 

I have a few more Valentine projects

in the works

as well as some image freebies

and pictures of my antique

valentine collection to share.

I hope you'll stop back!
