I Think Their Dogs ..... Well Maybe ??

Once in a while I see something and I decide that

" Yes I Can Paint That " ! It opens up my curiosity and creativity spot in my brain that says "you Accept The Challenge " of trying to push myself beyond my comfort zone and to try New things ! This being one of them !! I had never painted a animal before and I really wanted to try, If you don't try you will never know and that's about how I leaned to paint in the first place. I never took a lesson, I leaned by watching videos. But these dogs on domino's I didn't have a clue....

I had saw some domino's that someone had painted on ..Some were painted with beautiful little flowers and some had animals on them . Soooo I got on line and started looking for the best price on domino's & are there alot of domino's to look at and of course all different prices ...but the most important things about the domino's is they needed to have holes all the way through them so I could string them .

I think I found them online at EBay they came in a bag of like 50 or 100 for a really good price ...just what I wanted ! They come with a finish on them so you have to lightly sand them with some light grit sand paper, so the paint will adhere good to the domino's. .

See these have two holes drilled all the way through

A key chain ring

Then after I finished one I was so AMAZED that I really could paint a animal dogs to be exact ...I tried a cat and I bet out of the painted Domino's below you could pick out the CAT right away ...

Some of the Pet Domino's I put on key rings and some I put on a necklace but I actually think I like the Key Rings better

So just goes to show you that if you really want to do somethlng ....you really can ....Now I know that my hand painted dogs don't look the best but these were all first tries ...HONEST...these were the first and only ones I have done so far ... I have lots of domino's all sanded. and ready for painting Although I will have to put a hold on painting them for awhile because we have been Soooo Thankfully Busy with orders from our Etsy Shop for our gourd birdhouses ....
