OK…how cool are these? I got this box of Tim Holtz acrylic fragments. They come in a ton of different sizes up to over three inches. They are thin, an 1/8th of an inch thick. I wouldn’t use this for my necklace, but it is perfect for a child’s necklace. I pulled out the fragments that were an inch square. My version of inchies
. I knew I had to pull out these SU stamps. How sweet. My girls picked the images they wanted (they all fit) and I went to work. I used watercolor paper and my watercolor pen and SU watercolor pencils. I adhered them using crytal effects. I also adhered the hardware using CE. THis is what I used in my other pendant for me as well. (Sorry I wasn’t clear at all about that). I got all of the hardware from my local bead store. Before I put the hardware on, I put a piece of velvet paper on the back with a cute little pattern. Unlike my other pendant these are not waterproof due to the use of the papers. They are just so darned cute though! Can’t wait for my girls to wear them. Hope you like my version of “inchies”. Thanks Debbie for the inchie post…it really got me started! PS. I just clean the tops of the pendants with windex if they get icky.

Hi,
My Daughter and I we are in love with the children inchies.
I took two pictures of our first try and I will love to share it with you.
Please, can you tell me how you use the Crystal effects in your acrylics?
Our inks smear a little bit.
Thanks!!!

[...] June 11, 2008 Trying to Post in a Storm is Not Fun! Posted by hemidemisemiquaver under Uncategorized OK…so I couldn’t get computer access last night because we had a big windy storm. Then….I disassembled the entire computer because we were supposed to have painters come, and they never showed!! The bad thing about that was the fact that I was going to make a very special post concerning an e-mail I received yesterday!A reader of mine, Rossi, tried my inchie pendants (the project that has been published in the “Paper Crafting With Kids” issue from Paper Crafts coming out). I was SO happy with the results and her ingenious ways of getting around the fact that she couldn’t find jewelry hardware like I did, I asked her if I could share her results with you! She said YES! Thanks Rossi!! My directions for this necklace is in this post. [...]
