Inchies!

Inchies are small, one-inch square polymer tiles.  They are usually used at polymer clay events for swaps among the participants. In this way, each participant goes home with tiles that remind of the other people, the conference, and might give them ideas of something they could try themselves. Inchies don't have to be elaborate, and they don't have to take a lot of time either, especially when you are making 50 or more to swap with others at a polymer workshop or retreat.  This year, since the Clay Connection is being held virtually, participants are making one inchie each, photographing it, and sending the photo along to Cat, a member of the SCPCG.  Cat will be making a collage of the photos, so we can see all our art work together on one place.  So, here is my inchie.

Since I only needed to make one, I was more elaborate than I usually would be.  Often, Inchies are cut from a large sheet of polymer that the artist has covered with a sample of a particular texture or technique, such as mokume gane or stenciling.  I'm really looking forward to seeing what other folks have done.
