Jordan's Inchies!

My daughter Jordan loves to create stuff as much as I do. She agreed to let me photograph her process of making some Inchies. Inchies are simply 1" x 1" square pieces of artwork. You can learn all about Inchie Art Squares at Ellen's blog and can find all the supplies at Ellen's store HERE.

Okay, here we go! This is my little red headed cutie Jordan! She sits cross legged like this ALL the time.....when crafting, playing her guitar, reading. She's such an artsy girl! Here she is digging through my stash of Lockhart stamps to find just the right ones for Inchies.
She made her own Inchie finder by punching a 1" square out of a scrap piece of cardstock. She loves pink just like me! An Inchie finder is helpful to frame out that 1" square so you can get a better idea of what the finished image will look like.
Here's Jordan stamping all of her Inchies with Palette Black Noir ink. She's very precise, just like me. That's her little finger pointing to her stamped Inchies. She chose a food theme for all of her Inchies. I thought the girl was never gonna stop picking out stamps from Karen's collection!
Here she is coloring an Itty Bitty Radish. She remembered that radishes from Grandma's garden were colored red and faded to white. Such an eye for detail! Where does she get this???And for Jordan, it's all about the bling! Here she is showing you all the wonderful options you can choose from to embellish your Inchies. She's particularly fond of AMuse twinkle stickers. BLING BLING!! I love her little Vanna White hand motions! And TADAAAAA! Her'es Jordan's finished Inchie Art Squares. I helped her with a few ideas but she completed all of these herself. She's nine! didn't she do a great job? I hope that you're able to zoom in on this photo so you can see them close up. (don't know why Blogger will not let us zoom in sometimes!)

Jordan keeps all of her Inchies in a decorated band aid tin. She'll keep a few displayed on the front with magnets and she'll switch them out from time to time. I think she's going to make a few for her locker at school too. And sometimes we just make ONE Inchies instead of NINE at one sitting! Such a fun project for the kiddos! Hope you enjoy!
