Three New Pendants Altered Art Dominos
About this design:
These are three new pendants all done with the same process but not yet strung - I am still thinking about what beads to use or maybe even just colored ball chain. I love the colors. People are always stopping me for a closer look - they can't believe they are dominos.
Components:
All 3 pendants are made with color graphics on a domino layered with UV resin, alcohol inks, and diamond glaze on the sides and back. I added a dangle to each one.Read the comments (or add your own)

CarolSmithjewelry says:I JUST LOVE YOUR WORK!! NEVER SEEN THIS STYLE BEFORE!! HOW DID YOU DO IT?

RosaLee J says:To CarolSmithJewelry – I alcohol ink a domino in colors that will pick up the color in the graphic I use. I purchase the graphic in 1×2 from different sellers on Etsy. I use ModPodge to seal them to the domino. Then I layer on UV resin and place under a UV light source for at least 20 minutes. Not hard – just time consuming with lots of layer drying times in between stages. Hope this helps.
