I’ve caught the inchie bug! I was sucked into a 1 x 1 (or “inchie”) art swap group at the CoachCreativeSpace site after much kicking and screaming. I have become much too dependent on Photoshop!

This is one of my first inchies using Inktense colored pencils on canvasette. Check out the way the texture of the canvas shows up. I think it’s cool. Keep in mind this is 1 x 1 inch square in real life.

As often happens, I became more interested in researching inchies than actually make one at first. So interested that I made a lens (webpage) about Inchies on Squidoo. I’ve devised an enticement to encourage you to visit it. If you go and rate it by clicking on the stars under the title and then send me an e-mail here telling me you have, I’ll enter you in a drawing for five heart inchies like the one above (but in different colors).  The drawing will be Saturday, January 19, 2008.  You could give these cute little hearts as artsy valentine’s gifts.
