April Fool of INCHIES

Let's make INCHIES for the month of April Fools.

Inchies are become popular and rage for swap among Artists, not only a Clay Artists but all fellow Craft Artists. Oooh.. Inchies, what a cute word. But what exactly is an Inchie?!

An Inchie is a piece of art that is 1" x 1" size.

It can be made out of anything that you want but it has to be 1" squared.
Yes a 1" squared. That's all.
Inchies are fun and very addictive creations that you will gonna make, it's like we are making our own gallery in a 1 inch squared only. Sounds great right? Guide & Instructions:

• Create or Make a piece of art that is 1" x 1" squared size

• How many Inchies to be swap? 

Only Four (4) Inchies are needed to be swapped, but you can make or create Inchies as many as you can so it can also be counted as your entry once we posted the final photos in CFSPh Page.

• Any Inchies design

 that you want to make, but each 1" squared are in different design or 1" is equal to 1 design.

• All Inchies must be sent by May 13th, Sunday to start swapping our Inchies or earlier if possible.

• Sorter then sorts all the Inchies submitted and will send back package to the participants.

• Shipping fee to and from must be shouldered by each participant.

Tips:*Use a ruler to size your piece of Inchies.*You can also use a squared cutter but make sure it's 1" squared size. *When you make a design specially a detailed design, make or have a sketch / draw your design on a piece or small paper or a size of an Inchies or draw exactly on your Clay Inchies so you will have a pattern while creating it.

March Challenge: "It's Worth Framing"

Detailed for this challenge:
March Challenge: Theme called "It's Worth Framing!"
Let's celebrate the month of March and feel the atmosphere of Graduation Month. We knew that mostly March is a month of Graduation.

 Of course, not all of us are still on 'studying' state. Most of us are done on schooling but some are still busy making their best.

 So the March challenge is called 'It's Worth Framing.'

Wonder why and what to do?

Here's the idea;

Remember when we graduate at school we always received a diploma as a sign that we did our best. So the idea is to have a diploma, but uh-oh! It doesn't mean we will make a school diploma.

But the excitement challenge are..

What design?

• Any design you prefer or maybe fits or reflects yourself as an 'Artist' that's why we called our challenge, It's Worth Framing because every creation that we made is worth to frame and our own creation will serve or symbolize as a Diploma for the CFSPh Artists Grad.
• You can make or submit one to two entry only.  

Swap: Year of the DRAGONS

Origin of the Dragon Symbol:

Dragons in the Orient are associated with wisdom and longevity.

Dragons have captured the imagination of man for millennia. Some theorists believe that dragon myths originated from primitive peoples finding large skeletons of dinosaurs and postulating how they appeared during life. Others believe that forms of dragons still exist on earth today. The Loch Ness Monster is the primary modern example of a potential “water dragon”.

Some anthropologists believe that fire-spitting creatures are a real possibility. Animals with chambers for gases such as methane and a way to rub stones together in a large gizzard could conceivably breathe fire. Bombardier beetles, for example, spit vaporized acid out of their abdomens.

Dragons are one of the most complex and universal symbols on earth. Their popularity in contemporary literature and films seems to assure their ongoing place in literature and in the imagination of mankind.  

Details/Instructions:

• To welcome and feel the empowerment for the Year of the Dragon 2012

Oh yes we CANE do it!

Here's another challenge for February.
Theme called "iCANE Do It!"

What does it mean "cane"?

"Cane-working is a technique that was originally used in glass working for making complex designs. A cane is a log or cylinder of clay that has a design running throughout it, so each slice of the cane-the-cross-section-contains the design. You can make a large design that easy to handle and then reduce the size of the cane by pressing or rolling it so the cane becomes longer and thinner and the design becomes tiny and delicate, because of the ductility of the clay, the design stays intact no matter how small you make it."
