I wanted to get this swap in before we go on vacation at the end of the month, and I just got a great idea for this round, and I wanted to share it now! The last date to sign up is the day I will be back...you can start your inchies now since they are sender's choice... I love inchies and I wanted to create a swap for inchie lovers that would have a really different theme each time, and that would be easy to complete and light on postage. This will be a part of an ongoing series of inchie swaps... For this swap, you will make 4 inchies for one partner using something that you would not normally use on an inchie, for each inchie. It could be something you would use for another craft, like mosaic tiles, polymer clay or dried flowers; it could be something repurposed or recycled like a soda can or a CD; it can be something totally unrelated to anything like nail polish and electronics parts. Also, please include a little note about what you used that was way out there...You can use any other media that you like, but please send your best work--you may use stickers, but please use them artistically. I am now requiring a 5.0 rating to be able to join these swaps. F.Y.I. An inchie is a miniature work of art. An inchie measures exactly one inch square and is made of a sturdy paper backing, or it can be made of fabric. Inchies are decorated with a variety of media, including paint, paper, drawing, collage, mixed media, rubber stamps, sewing, etc. If you think that inchies are too small to make creatively, you are wrong! There are many itty bitty things on the market that are perfect for making inchies: scrapbooking paper with small prints, thin ribbon, tiny brads, little rubber stamps, stick-on rhinestones, etc.They are totally addicting once you start! P.S...This swap is an Type 3 because there is a craft element... |
