Inchies Canvas

We had an Inchy Swap on Bubbly Funk Forum, the theme was blue. When I got all my little inchies I wanted to do something with them. I've had this 5 x 5 canvas for some time, having bought it in a sale, so I painted it with some Stewart Gill paint and then stamped over it using the Cornish Heritage Farms 'Cracked Earth' stamp. Quite a few swapees had used little gems on their inchies, so I continued this theme round the edge of the canvas. I've just got to do a fixing on the back and then it can hang in my dining room which is decorated in similar shades of blue.

Apologies to the three people whose inchies didn't go on the canvas, it just didn't look right with 12 inchies and definitely better with 9! I will find another way to display the other three inchies.

  5. Janice, what a wonderful work of art with the inchies. Those little buggers are almost smaller than I can work with. You do a great job with them.

    Thanks for your comment on my Artarazzi entry. I'm afraid I am indeed vintage, since that picture was taken in late 1935! That is, I'm vintage on the outside. I'm still 30 on the inside and hope I can stay that way.
