Mini Domino Necklace.....

I had a bag of these mini dominos and started to play around with them last night started to collage decorative papers on them and then stamping them. They are then sealed with 3 coats of shiny glaze. The one that says "pax" means "peace" in Latin. I was inspired to make that domino as my mind was drifting to a time when I was in Assisi, Italy visiting the basilicia of St. Francis.......when you came out of the lower grotto to the outside there was a huge garden and "pax" was spelled out in green plants. That got tucked away in my mind to resurface 7 years later on a dominio. It's funny what sticks in the old noggin! I loved Assisi, it was so beautiful nestled in Umbria (means "green heart") countryside at the base of the Appennines and surrounded by fields of wheat and sunflowers. The sky was so blue and the air so warm with the windy scent of the fields. Sometimes I can close my eyes and I'm back there standing on the upper wall overlooking the countryside.

This is a necklace I made for a dear friend with one of the dominos. I like the green beads! This is a long necklace, about 20-22 inches.
