Whoo hooo!! I’ve completed all 12 days of Amy Maricle’s Inchie Challenge at Mindful Art Studio, and it’s been an absolute delight every step of the way. Creating these tiny works of art has been a source of pure joy for me. Now, I’m excitedly planning to assemble them into a brand-new journal, giving each inchie its well-deserved place of honor.

I decided to add a touch of glitter onto the Day 11 tile (Expansive) for some extra sparkle. But as I attempted to move it aside to dry, I accidentally stuck my fingers right into the wet glitter! Well, I suppose that’s just how the cookie crumbles! 😂😂

Here are the prompts that inspired this final set of inchies:

• Day 9 – Shell
• Day 10 – Buds
• Day 11 – Expansive
• Day 12 – Landscape

Thanks for joining me on this artistic adventure! Have a wonderful weekend!!

I found myself busy working on multiple projects in the studio so I’ve been a little slow at finishing these inchies for the Challenge that was hosted by Amy Maricle at Mindful Art Studio.

The tile above was one of my favorites especially for the prompt involving circles on Day 6. It emerged beautifully on a watercolor tile I had tucked away, patiently awaiting a surge of creative inspiration. The way the colors blended together on this piece was truly captivating. Now, with new prompts in hand, I’m eager to dive into the next phase of creativity.

• Day 4 – Mountain
• Day 5 – Bristles
• Day 6 – Circles
• Day 7 – Stone
• Day 8 – Inky

I mulled over several ideas for Day 8, ‘Inky,’ before deciding. I opted to dust off my calligraphy pen and sepia ink to craft an intriguing weave tile, adorned with a heart motif (as depicted below).”

I hope these inchies inspire you in some way, thanks for stopping by!!

I’m so thrilled that Amy Maricle at Mindful Art Studio is hosting the 2024 Inchie Challenge. I’ve had the pleasure of participating in the past 2 years and it was always a blast! There’s something so special about creating these mini works of art.

So, naturally, I had to jump on board once again. It’s become a bit of a tradition for me now, and I just can’t resist the opportunity to focus my creativity in such small sizes. These were all created on 2 inch square watercolor tiles and Amy provides the prompts for 12 consecutive days.

I’m catching up but these are my creations for the first 3 days:

• Day 1 – Leaves
• Day 2 – Patience
• Day 3 – Love

If you’re even the slightest bit curious about exploring your creative spark, I highly recommend joining in on the fun.
