Happy Birthday Scavenger Hunt!

Today we are celebrating the founding of the original DominoART Yahoo group on this day 11 years ago, WOW!  I'm so happy that the world of altered game art is still going strong!

In celebration two events are taking place today!
The Dominique Scavenger Hunt and the Members Lottery!

I will do a random lottery drawing of all the members of the Yahoo group including all the members of the blog and award one lucky DominoART member with a DominoART Treat!  The Members Lottery will take place later today so if you haven't 'followed' us yet here you might want to get in quick ;0)

Up next is the Dominique Scavenger Hunt which starts promptly at 10:30am PST!
sponsored by

I'm busy hiding eleven photos of our two current Dominique Dolls, Domino Dominique and her mini me, Queen Dominique.  The first person to find all ELEVEN Dominique Dolls and leaves a comment on this post with a list of where each one is hiding is the winner!
These are the 2 photos you are looing for!



This is going to be a toughie coz they could be ANYWHERE on the blog ;0)  The winner will receive a complete set of Rick St Dennis' Randi Dandi Alice images!  I will be watching and waiting but if no one finds all 11 by this time next week I will give the prize to the person who found the most!
The Scavenger Hunt might take a few days or just a few hours so get hunting ;0)

Before you dash off to start hunting I just want to remind you all about the Dominique Doll contest and the D'ART Challenge #2 Alice Domino Books!  Both are happening right now!  Also you might have noticed the scary scarecrow at the top of the blog ;0)  I'm now taking sign-ups for the 15 Days of Half-O-ween event!

Happy Hunting ;0)

The Search for DominoART's Next Top Mascot Starts Now!

Hello Dominoians!

It's time for DominoART's Birthday Celebrations Bash!

We are celebrating the founding of the original DominoART Yahoo group and on Thursday April 18 DominoART turns 11, Woohoo!

One of my main Birthday events is the search for the next top mascot...Dominique the DominoART Doll!  You can see all the fabulous past Dominique Dolls up there on the blog banner.  My Alice doll was the original Dominique...she's the one on the far right.  We had a little hiatus and now I think it's time to put the search out again ;0)

Will your game art doll be the next Dominique?

THE DOMINIQUE DOLL CONTEST DETAILS

• Make a doll that is either created from game pieces or embellished and decorated with game pieces of any kind.

•  You must incorporate at least one actual domino of any size.

• You must rubber stamp something, whether it's the actual doll or her embellishments. 

• Digital and collage imagery can be used.

• Your doll can take any form and be any size but no smaller than 4 inches in height...we must be able to see her ;0)

• You can alter actual dolls like Monster High, Barbie or fabric dolls and decorate them with altered game art and rubber stamp them with game related images.  Look at the past Dominique Dolls for inspiration!

• PLEASE NOTE: My main requirement for entering this contest is that the winning doll must be snail mailed to me and will not be returned.  I cherish all the Dominique Dolls and constantly have photo shoots of them over the years for creating new banners and badges, etc!  
• The winner of the contest gets awesome prizes in return!

• You have until midnight PST April 29 to get your entries submitted into the inlinkz collection which is located at the end of this post.

• The entries will then be open to voting for one day.  You will be able to vote for more than one entry but try and vote just for your absolute favourite top 3!

• The winner will be announced on May 1st!

• The contest is open to everyone including my DominoARTists design team members!
