This is for the Inchy by Inch weekly challenge.
I had a really hard time coming up with a word that starts with the letter J.
I've been trying to use words that are important to me personally.
I could have used "jump for joy"
but I'm not a jumping sort of person.
Or "just do it"
but that's reserved for athletes (I'm not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination).
Or "jazz it up"
but I don't like jazz much.
Or there's jive, jinx, jubilate, jeer, jiggle and jolly.
Ugh.
I kept going back to the idea of Justice.
This one works for me.
Just curious -
can you come up with a J word that's meaningful?
Also, here's how I made the nail heads in my inchie:
I just cut a straight pin with my "designated crummy scissors."
The Inchie Arts material is nice and thick to take my homemade nailheads.
I just create a hole using a large needle.
Then I add a dot of glue and insert the "nailhead"
The thickness of the Inchie base is great, because the homemade nailhead doesn't poke all the way through to the back.
Great inchie, Kimmie. Hmmm . . . "J" is a toughie, but "Justice" is a good choice. The way you've created those tiny nailheads is so darn clever. They look amazing. Hugs, Terri xoxoxo

ReplyDeleteBe just.. leaves me open to imagine a thousand possibilities just like your amazing art does for me.
ReplyDeleteJust is a good word. Your inchy looks great too. Thanks for the mini lesson. That could come in handy!
ReplyDeleteLovely vintage style inchy.... I adore the face in the corner and the nails finish it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteFab inchie, and your nails are great! And you had lots of possibilities for J too, much more than I had lol! xx
ReplyDeleteA really unusual inchy - thank you for sharing your thought process behind your choice. Great, Jo x
