Domino Art Doll - 2013 Favorite Project

This art doll is one of my favorite projects for 2013. I created her for a mascot challenge going on at DominoArts. She actually won and is pictured on their website.

I created the body for this domino art doll with the following materials: two wooden spools, a wooden clothespin, one poker chip and one full size domino. The face and wings are collage designs from Paper Imagery Designs. The paper hat is designer paper that I distressed with oil pastels. The face and wings have been laminated for durability. I colored the domino with alcohol inks and then stamped on the diamond pattern (Tim Holtz) with permanent ink. The doll is embellished with tulle trim, alphabet letters, black half pearls, eyelash yarn and a sequin sewn on with a seed bead.

The DILLY BEAN FRIDAY CHALLENGE 

 this week is CHRISTMAS - TRADITIONAL COLORS! 

The Dilly Bean Challenges now require that you use a Dilly Bean Image on your submission.

I used Dilly Bean stamp #509 Amalia's Christmas Lights for this ornament. I colored the image with PSE and markers. I painted the paper mache ornament red before layering on my pieces. The ornament is embellished with snowflake sequins, a circle and tag diecut, three red rhinestones (berries), baker's twine and glitter. I used glossy accents on the colored lights. It's not a good idea to apply glossy accents and then place your piece in front of fan to dry faster. My glossy accents dried faster but looks pretty wonky.

I  hope you have been inspired to join the fun at Dilly Beans this week. Please check the site for rules and prizes. Also, take a look at the wonderful creations posted by my fellow DT members. They are a very talented group!

Glass Tile Pendant - Rubber Stamped Designs

 

 

 

 
 

These rubber stamped pendants were made from altered glass tiles from the home improvement store. The tiles are embellished with a scrap of fabric that has been painted and then rubber stamped. The tile measures 1 7/8 x 1/2 inches. A metal hardware nut is attached as a bail. I used glossy accents as my glue. First attaching the nut and letting the glue dry overnight. The next day I added more glossy accents around the base of the nut to reinforce the hold.

It was so much fun to alter these inexpensive glass tiles from the home improvement store. You can use the same technique to alter dominoes. Think of the possibilities!
