Details of swap:
Inchies are tiny little works of art. They are exactly 1" by 1", grouped together, they are beyond wonderful! For this swap, we are changing things up a bit due to swappers requests - you will make 49 inchies. You will send 7 sets of 7 to different partners. so you will make 49 and get back 49

we will be in groups of 8

Here are a couple of examples of some inchies:

all you would ever want to know about a inchie here - thanks Phizzychick for writing that up
https://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=303188.0

There is plenty of time to make these, with sendouts Feb 16, 2010 - You can start right away, as they really don't need to be tailored to a certain partner. All mediums are welcome.  Inchies need to be on a sturdy base - Regular office paper won't work - You can use things like card stock, cardboard etc. If you are doing fabric be sure to put some kind of interfacing to make them sturdy - the links posted are great for ideas.  

Shipping - Please protect your inchies - don't just throw them in a envie and hope for the best - they are going to get beat up - Those little note cards work great for sending inchies as would just a pcs of cardstock folded over in a envie
I like to use atc card protectors and staple in between the inchies so they each have their own pocket and send that in a note card. also PLEASE include your user name on the back of your inchies - makes a bit easier to thank you for your wonderful inchies

Pictures are required.  Some like to post pics as they receive and others like to post after they received all of them.  You may use a camera or a scanner.  

So who wants to play?

[AlwaysInspired]

I sent in my info and looked at some inspirations pics! I also punched out all 49 of my backgrounds!

[McJulie-O]

I'm a little confused about the mailing/DC status...

If I understand correctly, we DON'T need DC's, but if any of the 7 envelopes go astray, we will resend, and some of our 7 partners may be from outside the US, but one envelope of 7 inchies and protective cardboard shouldn't be cost inhibitive.

[goatgoddess]

I mail ATC's all over the place - mailing to the United Kingdom and Australia is .98 cents - to Canada is .75

so it's not too bad - plus there are very few times that envies go missing. 

[alwaysinmyroom]

I am in!  I have never done any pieces this small, but I have tons of ideas! 

Look forward to starting!

[sprinklez]

Yay, I'm excited

[PinkPug,INK.]

I've never been in a Inchie swap so since it's a new year, I'm trying something new!

[malmow]

I'm in! I'm excited to start crafting again after taking a break for finals.

[melmakespretty]

YAY!
I'm in. I love making inchies and can't wait to get started.
I have two sets from previous rounds framed and can't wait to add a third.
