Look at the Fairy Tales ... brought back to life on these very old book pages...where their stories have been locked away behind a cover for too long. Look at the original paintings I created directly onto pages from an antique storybook ~ there is new life in these old familiar stories as you look at my interpretations of these charming characters.

Meanwhile - thank you for allowing me a break in my "normal" art posting. Please look around my blog and be sure to enter my ART Give-Away contest a couple of posts below :)
I was a consultant on a reclamation project in Willoughby, Ohio several years back - where a pathetic old building was being given new life and now serves as a Bed and Breakfast. A few of the walls had to be moved/removed and I was able to reclaim some original 1884 framing lumber. Remember when 2x4 actually meant 2” x 4” ? (me neither ha ha) - At one time dimensional lumber was actually the dimension it was referred to! I have taken a few actual 2x4 boards that were unable to be used any other way in the lengths at hand - and I salvaged them into chubby chunks to paint on. Some of them still reveal ghosts of where the plaster and lathe attached to them.They are rough, have nail holes, scars, and fabulous character. Check them out in my ETSY shop!

Size: 1" x 2" pendant on a white 18" suede cord with clasps
Type: Exceptional DOMINO ART PENDANT NECKLACE
Mixed media (painting, collage, glaze effects)
Ingredients: domino, acrylic paints (many many many layers), antique crackle medium, glazes, collage image, ric rac ribbon/or lace, findings, metallic paint, and love
I have taken an actual game piece domino (not a bead or craft store domino) and created a very textural and lush finish with multiple paint layers, crackle medium and various glazes. There is a rich and glorious textural depth to my handpainting. The collaged image is from a collection created by the "Land of Enchantment" (an amazing artist! see her link to the left). I have added details along the edges and all the dots are painted with metallic leaf. The back side is as pretty as the front - so the pendant is reversible!
