Hi, and welcome to my blog! For my part of the blog bash, i'm going to show you how to make a domino pendant!
The pic below shows the 2 different kinds i make---but I'm going to show you how to do the one on the left!!
(The one on the right is made purely using Alcohol Inks and gems!!! )
To start with, gather your equipment! You will need a plain domino, a bead, a 2 part glue ( like Araldite), a piece of tissue paper, a stamp, Stazon ink, PVA glue, a gem, colouring pencils ( although you can use pens too!) a nail file ( which is missing from the picture) and Glossy Accents ( or Diamond Glaze)
First step is to glue on the bead that the thing/wire will go through! For this i use Araldite and it has a harder finish!! Leave this to dry for a few hours!
Cut a piece of Tissue paper bigger than your domino and stamp your image!! I have used a stamp that is the width of a domino---but you can use any stamp you have, even using just part of an image!!!
Next-stick onto your domino using a very thin layer of the PVA glue.
Now its dry, you can use a leather thong or wire and wear with pride!!!

I hope you enjoy trying this technique-----leave me a link to your versions and after 31st March i'll draw a random winner who will be able to receive one of mine ( either of the 2 desugns shown at the beginning--the ink version will be in the colour of your choice)
Now pop over to Tracy's blog and see the next creation
