Every Inchie Monday
The power went out tonight. The entire neighborhood was pitch black and there I sat at the table with a candle and flashlight trying to make my first inchie for the Every Inchie Monday project. I had the one inch square. No one told me it was hard to be creative in the dark. LOL! Finally after an hour the power came back and instead of going to bed as I planned, I shot back to the table. And here she is. Ladies and Germs, I present, Queen Bee.....
Here she is looking like Humpty Dumpty. With a some stamping and snipping everything came together.
The theme was "eclectic" so this had to be an inchie with loads of personality. I had to edge it with a gold leaf pen. After all, we're talking about royalty here -Queen, remember? And because she's royalty, I had to incorporate some kind of visual to show off her presence. No room for a red carpet so a swiveling tag of a door was created.
A little sparkle was added onto her dress and later, the rose.
Small format but BIG fun! Go to http://www.everyinchiemonday.com/ for links of other participants who are inching along the way!

LOVE your inchie Linda!
We had a blackout in our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago that lasted for HOURS! I finally just went to bed when I realized how many things we need (or want) electricity for. HA!
A very royal inchie - so much in such a small space! I love your Queen Bee.
Queen Bee is stunning! I love the vibrant use of colour!
This is way cool. I love the little surprise with the swinging tag.
So, how's the snow? We in TO have none.
Amazing! It is such a fantastic inchie and I loved hearing about how it came to bee (sorry, but I couldn't resist the pun).
Very cool. Hope you have your power back by now.
Simply lovely even if made in the dark...I am working on two small fabric pieces but will not be able to put them on my post until tomorrow. Happy New Year! Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

Love love your inchie from the color to the the little door ! Thanks for your kind comment too :) Nan

She is so cute. I think the darkness adds to the magic of the Queen's powers! She waves her magic wand/septer and there was LIGHT eventually!
Nicely done...wounderful effect...
