Bones

I've been looking at this website's homemade domino project for a few months now, longing to pull the materials together to make my own set. I finally got around to kicking the project off this weekend. Jon sawed the 3 inch pieces of wood for me and I sanded them. There are 28 dominoes in a set - each one's dots are made with black marker and the back sides have pieces of paint swatches that I picked up (rather liberally) at my local Home Depot. In the middle of the paint swatches are drawings from various vintage books I've found at the Salvation Army. Apply a few coats of Mod Podge to both sides, and Voila! Are you ready for a round of bones??
