Details of swap:
Inchies are tiny little works of art. They are exactly 1" by 1", but grouped together, they are big fun! In this swap, you will make 50 inchies. You will then keep 5 for yourself, and send 9 sets of 5 to different partners. At the end of the swap, you will have a great set of 50!

Here are a couple of examples of some inchies:

There is plenty of time to make these, as sendouts aren't until February 28th. You can start right away, as they really don't need to be tailored to a certain partner.   I will try to match up tastes, but I can't guaranty it at all. All mediums are welcome.  You will want to make sure your inchies are sturdy.  Even those that did fabric had them sturdy.  I don't know if they used some kind of stiffener or what (I don't work with fabric (yet ).  Regular office paper won't work as a good base.  You can use things like card stock, cardboard etc.  Again, look at the first round for ideas.  You will be amazed.  Pictures are required.  Some like to post pics as they receive and others like to post after they received all of them.  You use a camera or a scanner.  I found my scanner was my best friend the last round.

Ok, go have fun!!!!!

I am maxed out on my swaps and I hope that I can get feedback before this one fills up.  I have such a good idea for some inchies. 

(I guess I could make them and save them for round 3, if it comes to that.)

[myklia]

We have one person and potentially another person signing up that are still awaiting feedback on other swaps.  What I will do then if this fills up quickly, is wait to assign partners when they get their feedback (which should happen before the sign up period ends if not considerably sooner *crosses fingers*).  I hope that is ok with everyone.

[playswithneedles]

yay, just sent my info in 

[Ma Rut]

Yay! Just sent my info, had a blast last time.

[ellenmarie]

Sent my info in this morning! I am so excited about doing inchies! I am having fun playing with all the ideas floating in my head! I am quickly becoming addicted to little tiny things! I think I will go play some more now!

[cosmo_mouse]

This one looks like fun. I'm in

[odd_artist]

WOO-HOO!
I have gone directly to adding stuff to my wists and my favorite projects by other craftsters!
PLEASE though - if you are crafting for me, PLEASE don't do 'cute'! I don't like glitter or fuzzy-puppy-fluffy-kitten kind of stuff. Sorry if I sound hard to craft for. Really, I'm not!
