HELP!!! I'm making inchies and I can't stop!!!!



I made inchies about a year ago for a St. Patrick's exchange. It was fun, but after that I never thought much more about them. I was cruising blogs and groups and saw some fun inchies so thought I would try again. Now I can't stop!!!!! Everything has "inchie" possibilities! Now if I can just figure out what to do with them. Anyone want to trade?

My rainbow

Your rainbow is intensely shaded violet, red, and orange.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is says about you: You are a creative person. You appreciate a challenge. Others are amazed at how you don't give up. You get bored easily and want friends who will keep up with you.

Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.

"In today's economy there are no experts, no 'best and brightest' with all the answers. It's up to each one of us. The only way to screw up is to not try anything."

Busy "Arty" morning





This morning my "muse" gave me a boot out of bed and said, "Get crafting!". I took her gentle nudge and made some felted and embroidered ATC's. That wasn't enough so I went on to felt a couple of small hearts, one red, one purple. Still wasn't enough, so I created some "steampunk" hearts from polymer clay. I also had been wanting to try a technique I saw in the new "Cloth, Paper, Scissors", so I did that too. It was an article about melting plastic bags, and using junk mail for art. I found some purple and green bags in my stash, and cut them, layered them between some foil, and ironed away. They melted into a fun purple and green mix and I turned it into a business card wallet. I straightend the edges, embroidered them with green thread, sewed on a purple button and a velcro closure and voila! Business card wallet! Now I think I need a nap!!
