Description:
Inchie - a 1"x1" piece of Altered Art Let's make Inchies that we would use and enjoy! For this Inchies Magnet Collage, you will need to make 9 Inchies and put magnets on the back of each. The should have a common theme, color, design, or something that ties them together as a whole. Any medium that you work in is fine, so long as the pieces are 1"x1". The receive can place them on her/his refrigerator or office surface in a 3x3 square, and rearrange them whenever. Because this is confusing enough, you will only have 1 swap partner. It is an international swap, and only swappers with 4.5 and higher and no more than 1 no send may play. Sorry, no newbies for this one.

I think this is fabulous! I always want to do the little 1x1s, but hey wouldn't go in my ATC book so well... and I LOVE magnets, so it's even better!

I love the look of this one! A question - are they to be made out of some kind of "thing" that is altered or can I make them from scratch, eg from cardstock?? Does that make sense?

squintgrad 05/ 2/2007 #

either is fine, pootle

I typically use a cardstock base and add paper/embellishment/etc

I'm in anyway, but have some wonderful 1" circles, would they count maybe or should that be another swap later!? Just a thought!

linie,

let's stick to the squares for this one as it lends nicely to switching them around.
