Inchie Swap

What is an Inchie?

It’s a 1x1 inch piece of artwork.  As long as it’s an inch squared, you can use any media you like to make it, paper, fabric, wood, metal…the list goes on! A favorite seems to be the collaged inchie, with a combination of words and images making up the artwork.  Heavy watercolor paper works perfectly for making inchies, but if you like to recycle you could use a cereal packet or other similar packaging, or even a postcard. You can make up a set of inchies to keep for yourself, or you can start to trade them in swaps the same as you would for ATCs.  Inchies are fun and completely addictive!

Now that you know what an inchie is, I wanted to share the five (5) I made for a swap.

Since there is a little depth on these guys, the scans are a little out of focus.  Can't do anything about that.

These are the returns from the Inchie Swap.  Really, really nice.  Two of them even came in their own little envie.  So cute!  I am a very happy girl.
