Domino Book

I started making this concertina book ages ago, after I'd bought some childrens dominos in a charity shop. I cut the concertina pages out of lining paper, painted them a pale cream and then, over a period of months stamped each page with the images. I can't believe how long such a small thing has taken but it was nice to return to it now and again when I could find a crafting moment. I'm going to make covers for the book (which is about 2.5 inches high) out of the dominos and add ties to close it. My first attempts at the domino covers was hopeless. Its a work in progress and also a rough. I'll need to re-make these pages without so many stamping errors (eg the lady three from the right who has lost the tip of her nose!) but, at least I have a plan now.
