Hello there!
If you follow me here or on Instagram, you may know that I have recently completed a 100 day project to have something small and creative to look forward to each day to get through winter and the pandemic! My parameters were:
- A new Instagram account to track the project, Practicing Everyday Delights 100
- A variation of “inchies” (7.5 cm c 7.5 cm (3″ by 3″) and are cut from white scrapbooking paper and a coarser mixed media paper (250 gsm)
- Fine liners, black sharpie, pencil
- Drawing inks and brushes
- Watercolour crayons (maybe)
So now what?
I have a few plans but feel a little overwhelmed by so much to work through. I’ve made over 130 pieces and taken more than 400 photographs. Yikes! So there will be a pause while is process finishing the project and where to go next. But I hope to:
- Create videos to make sense of what I’ve created
- I also want to write about what I’ve learnt by doing this project
- Do something with the physical pieces! Make wall art, posters – something
- I really want to put some designs onto my Redbubble shop. Which ones? To be decided!
In the meantime the photographer in me wanted to take pics of my #inchie pieces before I start playing with / sorting them. I had them all neatly held together with lace and elastic (practical and pretty!!) Here’s 4 views – from the top, the side and with a ruler
I get the sense that I may continue to make small art combining it with my art journaling and zentangling. With #lockdown3 in progress I have time to do some of these things before I hopefully start my postponed job in just over 70 days!
With love and creative spirit,
Love this! You could sell your little scraps I bet. They’d make great backgrounds for cards :). So pretty. Congrats on getting through 100 days.

Hiya. Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! Thank you.
I want to try selling them but have no idea where to start. Any ideas?

I sell mine on Etsy. It is easy to create a store and sell there.

wow! Just saw this while surfing for inspirations. One thing I do with inchies and ATC’s is to use them as elements to make cards for people. Sometimes, just little ATC sized pocket cards of inspiration (cards are 3.5×2.5) with little quotes on them. Just an idea for how to use them. Oh, wow, now I need to unpack my art supplies that I just packed ~ again! Thanks for the inspirations! ❤

Hi. Thanks for the comment and the idea!
I am slowly finding ways to use them around my home for now – when an idea comes, I action it. But otherwise just sitting with them, waiting for more inspo!
