My first love has always been and always will be making jewellery. Often when I see an opportunity to make something I can wear or give to someone to wear, I will turn it into a brooch or a pair of earrings.
Here are a couple of pieces that I made ages ago, and dug out of their hiding places to show you.
The first one is a regular plastic domino that has been coloured and edged with alcohol inks, and then stamped on top with black
Stazon using the little girl from the
Garden Plate. I then put a brooch back on it.
The second piece is made similarly, but using a domino piece of Stampbord. It has the daisy from
Botanical Plate 1 stamped on to it. I edged this piece with
white paint dabber. Again this has a brooch back on it.
These are not complicated pieces to make, in fact so simple, they take a matter of minutes, so are a great idea for a birthday or just a gift!

Lovely dominoes Jennie
Gorgeous Jennie, I love the fact you left some white on the stampbord, I always seems to cover the whole piece, yours is very subtle x (and so kind of you to make it for me LOL)
Brilliant - I just love them. I have been making quite a number using your domino bamboo tiles, and am joining in, and hosting domino swaps too.
I love these, especially the stamp board one - you are so inspiring - it makes me want to get up and have a go.
Thank you Jennie - and a public than you for the blog candy.
Off to do some blog hopping to the other commentators on here.

These are beautiful Jennie, I do love the 2nd one!

Hi Jennie, these are simply stunning!!! Question for you....what glue do you use to stick the brooch pins onto the dominoes....& is there a particular make of brooch pins you use......despite various attempts mine just keep falling off....very annoying when you don't realise until you get home & you have lost the domino :( Janey xx
these are colourful pieces Jennie, i like them lots x
Gorgeous brooches Jennie, the stamps & colours are just beautiful!! Love both of them. xxx

Beautiful artwork!

I love making these brooches - some of my efforts are on my blog :-) I used the small ivory dominos.
I love seeing other peoples work - they are all so different using the same sort of basics :-) Love the colours you used.
