Yellow bird, up high in banana tree...


I set the theme for the next inchie swap, yesterday. The theme is Yellow. I chose this as I find it a very difficult colour to work with.
but today I made this.
The stamp is from stamping ground, stamped onto white then onto yellow and cut out. the inchie is then edged with yellow ochre acrylic paint.

If anyone reading my blog fancies joining in this swap you are more than welcome. The rules are pretty simple. You only have to make 9 inchies and send just 8 to me with an SAE (if you are not based in the UK, we can come to some other arrangement). The inchies must not be too bulky (for postage cost reasons). The closing date for this swap is 30th June and you will get a random selection of 8 inchies back. The inchie does not need to be completely yellow, it's a theme you can interpret it however you wish.

if you are interested in taking part please email me.

  10. I have only just discovered inchies, and they look like fun to make. Is that deadline the send-by date or when they need to arrive with you? Do I need to sign up somewhere first?
