Inchies: A Few of My Favorite Things

For this swap you will have two partners and make them each FIVE quality inchies relating to a few of your favorite things. Favorite things don't necessarily have to be objects. They can be colors, actions, ideas or anything you like! Be creative and have fun making them!

Be sure to include a note about your favorite things. For instance, if you send someone an inchie with red balloons, they might wonder if you really like the color red, balloons, or both. Don't leave your swap partners clueless. Besides, it is always nice to have a little something to read when you receive a swap.

Theme:

Each inchie should represent something you like. For example, if you like trees, send an inchie with a tree. Do you REALLY like trees? Feel free to send all the inchies in a tree theme. It is sender's choice since it is about favorite things.

Medium:

The medium for your inchie is up to you: sturdy cardstock, grunge board, fabric, chip board, polymer clay, watercolor paper or whatever strikes your fancy. Empty cereal boxes can be used as inchie blanks, too and it is a very enviornment friendly idea. The only stipulation is that it not be flimsy. In other words, a sheet of copy paper will not cut it.

What is an Inchie?

An inchie is a 1" x 1" piece of mini artwork created by you. The only requirements are the measurements and that it be sturdy. They can be painted, sewn, collaged or any combination of techniques. They should be creative. Card stock with a sticker is NOT an inchie.

Guidelines

NO KNOWN FLAKERS: No 1's ever and no 3's within the last 6 months without contacting me to discuss the situation and even then, I might not let you join. Sorry.

QUALITY INCHIES: A sticker on a blank piece of cardstock does not count as an inchie. Put effort into your inchie and make some that you would like to receive.

AT LEAST: 5 completed Type 3 swaps.

LOCATION: This swap is US only.

PROFILES: I will be checking profiles to ensure that no flakers join, but if you see someone sign up who is a known flaker, please contact me. I would rather ban a flaker than lose any good swappers!

LATE SENDING: I have allotted plenty of time for this swap to be completed. And while things do come up unexpectedly, please do your best to send on time. If for some reason you cannot, I ask that you communicate with your partner. If you have any questions, please contact me and I will be happy to help!

If you have any questions, please contact me or ask them below.

Happy Creating!
