31 Days of Halloween 2013: Day 30 with Domino Art

Day 30 of 31 Days of Halloween is here!!!
If you came from Carla's blog, then you are on the right track; if not, then please visit Terra's Blog and enjoy the hop.
I am also part of Domino Art's 31 Days of Halloween Celebration.
Today's project is a Domino Book, featuring images from Rick St. Dennis.

Supply list

• Two Dominoes
• Sculpey (white)
• Sculpey Push Mold (Miniature Dolls)
• Acrylic Paints (Black, Silver)
• Organza Ribbon ( Black, Orange)
• Beads Assorted
• Bead caps

Images:

• Count Meowt
• Parfum de Morte Skull
• VOODOO Skull Man
• Mr Shadow
• Batty Betty
• Let's Pahrty
• Zombie Beauty Queen
• Craft Witch

The process is really simple:

• Sand lightly the surface of the dominoes. This allows better coverage of the paint.
• Glue the dimensional elements. I used polymer clay faces and hands, using industrial strength glue (E6000). Allow to dry.
• Apply a coat of silver all over the dominoes and allow to dry.
• Apply a coat of black acrylic paint and remove excess paint with paper towel. This has to be done quickly or the black paint dries.
• Paint the inside of the dominoes black.
• Glue the black organza ribbon to the sides of the dominoes and the orange organza ribbon around the dominoes. I used E6000 glue to do this.
• Glue two metal bead caps to the bottom of each domino. This are the feet and help the book to stand. Used E6000 glue for this step also.
• Color and scan images.
• Re-size image as desired and make an accordion
•  insert for the book.
• Glue each end of the accordion insert to a domino (see Photos) 
• Tie a bow to each side of the book.
• Add the beads to the top of the book, careful to glue them just to one side of the book. I glued them to the front of the book, using a hot glue gun. 

Enjoy your book, just imagine the possibilities!
I love that it looks like stone.

I am also part of Domino Art's 31 Days of Halloween Celebration.
Today's project is a set of rings with altered Scrabble tiles, featuring images from Rick St. Dennis.

Ring 1

Ring 2

Ring 3

Ring 4

Ring 5

The supplies used:

• Scrabble tiles
• Golden Paint: Carbon Black
• Ranger's Glossy Accent
• E6000 adhesive
• Ring Blanks

Images by Rick St. Dennis; Viktor Visage, Angry Annie and Bubble Bubble, Toil and Trouble

The process is really simple:

• Color each tile with Golden Acrylic Paint (Carbon Black)
• Color and scan images.
• Re-size image as desired and print. I used part of the face just to create interest.
• Adhere image to Scrabble tile using Glossy Accents.
• Cover the surface of the paper with Glossy Accents, this seals the paper and protects our work.
• Once it is dry you can adhere to the ring blank using an industrial strength adhesive resistant to water, I like to use E-6000. Allow to dry completely (I usually wait 48 hours before wearing mine).

Enjoy your new rings, just imagine the possibilities!
I have some news, I will giveaway some of the projects that I design for this event and rings #3, 4 and 5 will be part of the giveaway . Just leave a comment and I'll choose the winners on October 31st.
