Description
About This Work Of Wearable Art
Happy Family is a finely patterned work of original art featuring a hand drawn leafy design, and a three dimensional butterfly on a warm toned marbled, abstract background of orange, pink, yellow and red. You will enjoy wearing and holding this small and delightful piece, which is presented on a vintage domino game piece that I have made into a pendant, a personal and functional work of art. It would make a sweet present. Consider.......Mother's Day!
*****
I have always loved the weight and feel of dominoes in my hand, and enjoy taking the opportunity to repurpose, or upcycle unused objects. Also, the gypsy in me is drawn to, and entertained by, the fortunetelling aspect of the dominoes.
*****
The backside of this one features the numbers 0 and 5. The sides have been painted to provide continuity while the back remains simply a domino, and can be worn in reverse, for a different and very fun look.

Divinatory Meaning for Blank/ Five
This is a time for family. It is the perfect opportunity to start a family
if you have yet to do so. This domino says that the children will be happy
and all will be provided for. It also marks a good time for reuniting with
family members you have been separated from.

History
In China, dominoes have long been used for divination and prediction. In the West it is said Romany Gypsies have practiced fortune telling with dominoes from the 18th-century to this day. Dominoes provide a convenient and relatively simple means of fortune telling. In the same way that playing-cards and Tarot cards each have an intimately connected divinatory significance, so dominoes with their spotted values have a mystic meaning in divination and fortune telling. Gypsies are said to still practice the ancient art of divination with dominoes.

Positive Intentions
All my domino pendants and magnets are sealed with a gloss varnish, making them water resistant. Each is a completely unique work of art. I have carefully considered the divinatory meaning of the numbers on the backside of each, and filled them with positive intentions, painting as an intuitive process and with mindful energy. These make delightful gifts, both lovely and potentially meaningful, or at least fun. Wearing them may lead to sudden feelings of increased joy or peace!

Practicalities
While these dominoes are moisture resistant, they are not entirely waterproof. To clean your domino, simply wipe down with a dry or damp cloth, and please do not wear it in the shower.
