    Are they game dominoes or falling dominoes? All these ideas are great for game dominoes. I haven't seen any falling dominoes in person, but I am sure the form should inspire the function.

      @Susan E What on earth is a falling domino and how does it differ from a game domino?

    I have a favourite necklace that was bought at a craft fair, it is made with a single dominoe. The creator painted the back with a butterfly and drilled a hole thru the top to thread a string through. The back of the pendant is the dotted side. Don't know what you'll do with the rest of the box of them!
