Inchies

This is another super late post. 
But like I always say, better late than never, haha (palusot!)

I know I still have a lot to learn when it comes to clay. 
And this is the reason why whenever I have the chance, 
I make it a point to join our guild's challenges.
This way I will be forced to work with a particular challenge in mind.
Somehow the pressure helps in squeezing out my creative juice, haha!

Last March, the challenge introduced to us by Jein was about "Inchies".

What is an inchie, you ask? 
Well basically, they are teeny tiny little pieces of art. They are one inch square in size, which is where they get their adorable name. - C. Clouse of Label Tulip
 This was the first time I heard of it actually.
And after several research with the help of the ever reliable Google, 
I saw just how challenging and interesting the challenge was. 
Immediately I decided to join the swap!

And here's what I came up with...


If you noticed most of what I made were antiqued. 
That's because I played around with my Swellegants and antiquing mediums. 
I also tried doing the technique I learned from one of my mentors, Ghie of Trinket Tales
unfortunately I wasn't very successful. 

Here are some of my favorite inchies entries from my guild mates...

All lovely, don't you agree?

After seeing their works, 
I honestly felt a little shy of what they are to receive from me.
Nevertheless, I am much more inspired by them to do well on my next projects. ☺
