Inchies are, as the subtitle explains in a nutshell "miniature works of art using textiles and mixed media techniques." Just one inch square, they can contain anything and have a multitude of uses.

How I do love it when somebody comes up with a brand new idea like this for using the space-eating stashes that every textile crafter ends up with. This is the sort of thing that makes recycling fun, and these tiny works of art really do have a lot of uses. Make them into pictures, keyrings, jewelry, Christmas tree decorations, swap them with people like ATCs (Artist Trading Cards), even put them onto ATCs. How do you make them? This is largely up to you. You will need some stabilising material to act as a base, such as pelmet Vilene, and of course any other type of material. As to what you adorn them with, this can be anything you can imagine. This is a book of composite authorship, and thus there are many ideas to use. Make natural ones from found items, illustrate the four seasons, pick one color and show how versatile it can be, make boxes, use felt, experiment with new media such as Tyvek and Angelina Fibers and more. This is easy to do—or as complex as you wish—and a whole lot of fun that will shrink your stashes. Trouble is, just looking at this book gave me ideas for more things to hoard... one for the keeper shelf.
