Challenge Day Number Three

For my  Art Every Day Month Challenge today, I worked on dominoes. I was able to put quite a bit of time into it, which was very nice. How did I get time for this today? I put the rest of life in piles. And walked away. Quite an accomplishment for me. I will get to this mess later...



I walked to this messy but way more FUN area instead:

 

O.K., now we're talking!! I am working on creating dominoes for Christmas along with dominoes I have done just for fun. My friend and I are doing two boutiques, one in November and one in December. I have never sold altered dominoes before, so I am curious as to how people will respond to them. I also applied to Glitter and Grunge to sell online. This is a big step for me! I have wanted to do something like this for a while and have asked lots of questions about selling online. I decided with the Art Challenge, that this would be a good time to take that leap. I submitted an application yesterday, and hope to hear from them soon. Here is a look at more Christmas dominoes I have done:







My next creative activity will be to break out the new Prisma Color pencils I have and start adding color
to the dominoes that aren't collaged.







Doesn't color just make you happy??!
Have a great day!

    What a wonderful job you've done on your dominoes!! I haven't seen many altered dominoes in blog land. Best of luck with Glitter and Grunge. I've never heard of it before. I'll have to check it out. I have not been feeling creative at all lately. I'll chalk it up to being in my first trimester. I'm in my 11th week now so hopefully this creativity fog will be lifting soon. I haven't listed on Etsy in way over a month either. I have so many Christmas goodies to list!! I know I have to just jump in there and get going. Cleaning off my work table might help. : )

    Hard pressed to decide which I like better...the stamped or the paper ones? Equally wonderful! What wonderful decor piled high in a pretty apothacary! :D
