Monday, January 3rd is the first Every Inchie Monday.
For those of you who do not know what an inchie is, it's a one-inch square piece of artwork. Here are some inchies I created in December 2008
The theme this first Monday of January is ECLECTIC. Definition: Made up of or combining elements from a variety of sources.
Couldn't make just one of course. I started out with a couple of pages from an old book and a paper doily . . .
Then I spritzed some Midnight Blue Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, some Adirondack Butterscotch and Stream Color Washes on the pages and used the paper doily in places . . .
Once the pages were dry I did some rubber stamping then cut the page in strips . . .
I cut some cardboard into 1" squares and then attached them to various parts of the strips with Glossy Accents and then gave them a trim . . .
To make the little 1-inch pieces "stand out", I ran the 4 sides of each one over a black Archival Ink Pad. I liked the way these looked without adding more to them . . .
Lined up with top coats of Glossy Accents waiting patiently to dry . . .
I'm saving the 2nd page for another project. Maybe some atc's???? . . .
Next Monday's theme is the word Powerful.

Hey Sherry...LOVE your inchies. I didn't know people were still making them...I got sort of burnt out on them, but may need to start up again after seeing yours.
Best wishes to you, my friend, for 2011...and I did see the Rose Parade & Bob & Stephanie on New Year's Day...thank heavens for computers!

Oh you are doing fantastic ones-love how you made the pages first, and the one page left are so gorgeus, too--also the way,you made the inchies stand out with the black ink, is great, I think I should maybe do the same,to mine-:)
