What a sweet, simple nursery rhyme this is which I found to include on this altered domino book with the moon as it's theme.
It is covered with tissue paper coloured with Brusho paints and glimmer mist. The moons have been coloured with crystal color lacquer to make them shine. The little card has been made in much the same way.
They are both for a crafting friend who will be celebrating a big birthday later this year. I don't think she reads my blog - at least I hope she doesn't anyway or the surprise will be spoilt!
This month's theme (set by Viv) over on the GAS (Group for Altered Swaps) group on Flickr is an altered Halloween domino book.
Well, I've never been into the whole Halloween thing much so the subject didn't excite me - however, after seeing some beautiful creations in the photostream of the GAS group I was suitably inspired!
I found some lovely vintage images in another Flickr group (thanks Suzee Que!) which I decorated my dominos with (I used the same dominos - childrens' wooden ones - which I used for the Christmas charms in the post below). I also had some cute pumpkin buttons which I've had for years and never before used. I stuck two together and glued them to the ribbon ends. This is the first domino book I've made and I had a little trouble with sorting out how to attach the ribbon - any tips will be greatly appreciated!
