These are made from the Lutradur and Lace technique in the first issue of Fibre and Stitch Magazine, and I think I may have buried the lace a little deeply. It is there - scraps of broderie anglaise layered with gauze and painted with acrylic paint and iridescent inks. I was going to burn the layers back with the heat gun, but on sample pieces, the gauze proved extremely heat resistent. I embellished the squares with some varigated thread and a bright bead.
I've also signed up for Joanne's Inchie swap that she runs each month, and this month the theme is Children
I've never gone in an inchie swap before - I'm really looking forward to it.

Your lace inchies are lovely! I'm so glad you explain the "how to."
Your "Children" inchies are beautiful too! You will enjoy swapping - it's a great way to see other techniques and styles - in real life - not just photos!
Your inchies look great and that is certainly a different take on the subject-burying the lace!
I love the embroidery on them.
your inchies are gorgeous. I'm so glad you are taking part in my swap.
fabo! My husband thinks I have super vision because I saw the lace without having to enlarge the pic...I told him I have a great eye for detail. Well done :)
All your inchies are wonderful - I especially like the bottom ones.
