Owl Domino Book

I love making owls out of bits of jewelry findings.  I decided I would use one for the cover of a domino book.  I first colored the domino with a combination of alcohol inks.  I then added black stickers.  Unlike the previous domino book which was tied closed with ribbons, this one is hinged and closed with a clasp.  
The poem inside says:
When darkness welcomes Halloween –
And owls hoot long and low,
The witches in the deep ravine,
Move wildly to and fro.
It comes from a vintage postcard.

Supplies Used In This Piece
Muse Tokens
Curved Brass Hinges
Small Box Latches
3 Tiny Brass Leaves
Antique Silver Filigree Teardrop
Antique Brass Leaves
Brass Oak Leaves
7mm Flower Washers
Fancy Fleur Drop
Brass Halo

I’ll be posting more of these owls in November with fall inspired art.
