Description:

The object of this series is to make sets of inchies that are monochromatic. In the past we have done "Tickled Pink", "Lavendar & Lace", "Green with Envy", "Purple Rain", "The Black Market", "Family Jewels", "Seeing Red", "I'm so Blue" and "Orange you glad..."

This installment is "White Out".

Make 4 inchies each for 2 partners (8 inchies total). These 8 inchies can be any theme/technique you want them to be; however, each inchie needs to be predominantly WHITE (white, off white, cream, silver....) in color. Inchies are little pieces of art that measure 1" by 1" square.

You can make two identical sets of inchies - one set for each partner, or you can make 8 totally unique inchies. Within each set you can draw one, collage one, paint one, bead one - or use the same medium/technique for all of them. One can be "Twilight", one can be Kawaii, one can be a cat, one can be a zentangle. The only rule is that all the inchies for this swap have to be predominantly WHITE in color. Other than the color it is UP TO YOU!

Inchies can be mounted on chipboard or some other super heavy backing - or, they can be two or more layers of cardstock (cereal boxes work well for a second layer). They can even be fabric! I have some inchies on my Flickr - so do some other Swap-Bot members (check out @dobie256 's Flickr!). Search for "inchies" on Flickr for ideas and inspiration!

For my inchie swaps you are not required to write any information on the backs of the inchies - I mount mine to a canvas (check out my profile and Flickr for photos). You don't have to mount the completed inchies to anything for shipping but lots of people do - totally up to you. I've been making those inchie matchbooks for the last few swaps I have sent out.

Let me know if you have any questions at all - thanks! Newbies (with a very well filled out profile) are ALWAYS welcome in my swaps; however, I will ban anyone that I feel is questionable (due to past ratings, etc.).

I've missed most of these except for the "I'm so Blue" series. Will you be having the other colors again?

My first one was the blue-themed swap as well - should you decide to do a prism series redux, I'd be interested in all of them. ;)

Hmmmm... I was lying in bed last night attempting to come up with NEW colors - it never dawned on me to start over again! LOL! Sure - I will host the original colors again someday!

Laura, Your flickr photo of your Inchie Canvas is what has inspired me to start creating and trading inchies again...thanks so much for sharing the photo :) This sounds like a great series...can't wait to see the other colors :)

OK ladies...this will be a first for me! But hoe can you miss with 'White Out"! Suggestions accepted.

I would also be a willing participant in a repeat of the colors. Maybe even a larger swap to catch up :D
