JillHogan - mini_mum for rainbow hearts and stars

Hi, I’m Jill.  I live in Boston, MA.

I’m working on a large collection of cat inchies, so that is my most preferred theme.  If you don’t choose that theme and somehow want to squeeze a cat into another theme, that’s totally cool, too.  I’m fine with the idea of making me four each of two themes, or a mix of eight of various of my themes, or whatever combination you want.

Some 3D is fine (like a piece of foam or an elevated sticker), but nothing that would prevent framing, please.

I’m not easily offended (though I don’t care for swearing) but I am easily grossed out.
Themes:
1. Cats (most preferred)
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. Christmas
4. Winter
5. Spring
6. Summer
7. Autumn
8. Cutesy non-pet animals (I love giraffes, monkeys, owls, mice, all birds, anything really)
9. Silhouettes
10. Woah, glitter (interpret as you wish)

Hi. I’m Valerie from NJ, USA. I love whimsical/ quirky art, and hand drawn inchies really float my boat (though other mediums are fine as well). I mount inchies in various art journals, so please keep them fairly thin (a layer or two of cardstock or watercolor paper is fine; corrugated cardboard or heavy/ rigid embellishments, not so much). I am fine with a mix of themes. I would prefer "stand-alone" inchies, rather than ones that have to be combined to form the image. Please nothing religious or scented.


Themes:
1. whimsical/ quirky monsters or creatures (from your imagination)
2. whimsical/ quirky people/ faces
3. characters from the TV show Battlestar Galactica (the newer version)
4. collage that includes (tiny!) vintage photos
5. the TV show Carnivale
6. the TV show Dead Like Me
7. London landmarks
8. reading/ book love


**PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA OR SCANNER. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD TAKE A GALLERY PHOTO BEFORE SENDING, AS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO. (sorry for the inconvenience!)

I’d prefer not to receive any adult themes, religion or politics. I have no allergies. I don't mind my inchies being a bit 3D, but not too much please. I don't mind occasional small sets of inchies that go thogether, but mayone only 2 or possibly 4 but prefer individual ones.

1.   Celtic knots (& Blue)
2.   Gardening (& Blue)

Hi!  I'm Kim, and I live in Louisiana.  I'm adverse to anything political or propaganda-ish.  I don't mind artful nudity or a bit of gore (since I'm a total sucker for horror movies), but my style is mostly whimsical, bright, modern, happy stuff.  Bordering on cute.  Cute is definitely okay.

A combination of my themes is great.  If you would like to do 1 of 8 different ones, just claim me for the one that sparks your interest initially.  Translate my themes however you would like.

Animals doing human like things (wearing clothes, playing poker, whatever)
Wizard of Oz/ Alice in Wonderland
Or your favorite fairy tale
Anything relating to Hippie/ 60s/ 70s/ Retro
Rainbows (and I get a big kick out of things that aren't traditionally rainbow - see profile pic)
My favorite TV shows, music, or movies (listed in my profile)
Fantasy or mythical creatures (namely, mermaids, unicorns, gryphons, dragons)
Cute or googley eyed animals (owls, peacocks, wild animals are favorites)
Something related to the states I'm from (Pennsylvania, California, Louisiana)
Italian food/ chef stuff/ relating to Italy
An inchie version of your masterpiece! (Favorite thing you made)
Art/ Art Supplies (from crayons to sewing machines)
Moveable inchie
Things with wings (normal things with wings or inanimate objects having wings)
Theatre/ Musicals
Something Shakespeare
Made primarily not out of paper
Mini version of a masterpiece (Escher's Eye, Mona Lisa's mouth etc)
Matryoshkas
Inspired by pinterest
Floating in the sky
So ugly its cute
Fluffy Cats (especially black and white, all white, and fat grey ones!)
Inspired by your favorite era
Glitter


I love dimension and adding non paper bits to my inchies too, but please nothing so 3D that its an inch high.  I like puzzle inchies (1+1 horizontally or vertically that match up, or 2x2 to make 4 inchies in a box) but please no more than 4 together.  I wouldn't complain, but they'd make framing a bit difficult.  Have fun!

I claim kimchery for a combo of states, crafty stuff and hippies/60s/70s/retro.
I will send by 01/03/12.

Hi - I am Susan from San Francisco, CA. I like all inchies but not 3-D this round as I hope to add them to my travel journal and other art journals. Any medium is fine - paint, hand-drawn, collage, sewn, and other. And you can do a combo of themes if you don't want to do 8 of one thing. And I love inchies with pictures and a caption or word. Thanks and have fun!

My themes:

1. Paris - yes, I'd like more of these.
2. London - and these.
3. Travel - maps, tickets, luggage
4. Harry Potter - students, professors, creatures
5. Art and artists - some of the art/artists I saw on my recent trip:
      Picasso, Kandinsky, portraits, Grayson Perry, Warhol, DaVinci - And especially these!
6. Museums
7. Candy, especially chocolate
8. Crafts and sewing

Hi- I'm Julie from Hobart Tasmania.  I'm new to inchies but I have a plan of making a huge rainbow from all the inchies I'm sent eventually.  So I would love them to be colourful please, but only in a single colour for each one please.  Other than that I'm happy for any kind.  I am actually allergic to lavendar and pineapple, gluten etc but that shouldn't come into this will it?

My themes:
1. Nature (like flowers, fields, mountains, seascapes)
2. Neil Gaiman characters ie Morpheus, Delirium, Shadow, Coraline
3. gothic
4. pagan
5  anime
6. textures/abstraction
7. supernatural
8. animals

Hope you're all having a very Merry Christmas/Summer Solstice
