Will it Work or Fail? ~Episode 1

Hey everyone!
I came up with an idea, what if I do posts where I come up with a project to make, and then I’ll take pictures as I go along. Then I’ll tell you what I made (or tried to make), show you a poll in which you can say whether you think it will work or fail. I’ll put the pictures I took in the post, and then say if it worked or failed!

GO INCHY!

Ahem. Hello everyone! 😀 Ready for another part of Inchy’s adventures? HUH? YAY! 😄

Go right HERE to view all of the other parts I have written so far. 🙂

The Adventures of Inchy B {Pt. 5}

I left you with a cliffhanger last, (if you haven’t seen any of this yet go HERE where I’ve posted all the parts so far) so I’ll just jump right in!

Inchy B lay in the jar for nearly five minutes before realizing that the fuchsia was actually just some of her belt’s purple mixed with the white wax. She shook her head and found that she could see just as well as ever, if not better, the wax having gotten some lint out of her eye holes. She scrambled up to the brown grass.

After the brown grass there was some more cold white stuff that Inchy B had to get on to. She puzzled over it for a while before coming up with a plan.

She took a massive leap and jumped up into the air. She aimed her body towards the cold white stuff and started going back down.

She landed on her side. It took her a little to get her breath back but once she did she stood up and looked at Green Wall who stood before her. Then she started to climb.

Inchy B climbed up, up, up, until she came to something different. It was like a hole with another room behind it, but when she tapped it she couldn’t go through. Then she noticed something. It was an inchworm!

“Hello, I am Inchy B!” she said to it. It mouthed the exact same words back to her.

It’s my OTHER SELF! Incy B thought, wildly excited.

She climbed onto the glass separator to try to get a better look at her other self. It didn’t work very good, because apparently the Other Self wanted to get a better look at Inchy B and she crawled right along with her.

At last Inchy B decided she had to get back to Itchy so she left her Other Self, making sure to give it a thank you card. She wasn’t sure what kind of card would be best, but she had read somewhere in an Inchworm Etiquette book that thank you cards usually fit the occasion in some sort of way.

Unfourtunatley for Inchy B, she didn’t not realize what else she had left behind.

So no, I did not kill Inchy B! Hooray! 😄

I made a poster for this series, how do you like it? 🙂

Have a good rest of your day! I hope to get outside sometime soon; it’s nearly seventy degrees! Ah, luxury. 😄

Farewell, Inchy fans! I’m off to see who tagged their posts with ‘goinchy’ 😛

 I’m expecting a daffodil bud that we have in our flower bed to bloom this week! Eeee!  😀

The Adventures of Inchy B {Pt. 4}

*Crowd cheers* Thank you, thank you! *bows* 😄 Another Inchy B part! YES! I’m so glad that you guys are enjoying this series, it makes me grin every time someone comments with “YAY INCHY B!”. 😀 I even tagged this post with #goinchy. 😛 

Clay Inchworms

Hello!

Some of you probably know that I enjoy making things out of polymer clay. 🙂 One of the first things I made was and inchworm with a top hat. Then I decided to make another! And another, and another…

Anyway! I decided to share some of them with you. They are posted in order, so this one below is the first one I made. I’m afraid he’s rather linty… 😄

Here’s the second one! 😀

And the third… 😄 It’s a little hard to tell what this is, but she’s, as my little sister says, Worm Elsa! 😛

Here is the Book Worm. Hehe!

I have many more. Let’s see, I have a baby inchworm, twin inchworms, an inchworm walking his pet snail, and a few others! 😀 But since I haven’t taken pictures of them yet, you’ll have to do with these four. 😉

Do you want to see more clay inchworms?

You can be thankful I made an inchworm, otherwise you wouldn’t have Inchy B! 😄

The Adventures of Inchy B {Pt. 3}

YAY! PART THREE! 😄 In my giveaway lots of people said that Inchy’s photo story was their favorite post, so with out further ado (ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado ado  there, done) I present you part three!

(See the other parts here)

Inchy B had come a long way. A piece of her had gotten pinched off in the door, she had gotten covered in lint, and she was very weary. But as she inched on she noticed that the ground ahead was white. Itchy had said that it would be white when she reached The Land of Your Other Self.

She walked closer and slowly inched onto the white tile.

“One little step for Inchworm, one giant step for Inchwormkind,” she murmured.

At last she, Inchy B, was completely on the tile. She forgot all her aches and pains and weariness and became overjoyed. Soon she would meet her Other Self!

She looked ahead and saw a big white something. It didn’t look very safe so she veered over into another track.

This track took her to a light green shaggy substance.

Grass! She thought, as she heaved herself up.

As she inched across the ‘grass’ she felt terribly small. And she was. Her little green self was barely noticeable!

Once off the ‘grass’ Inch B noticed a brown chunk of wood.

“Why hello, Mr. Brown Chunk of Wood!” she called out cheerfully, “would you mind telling me how to get to my Other Self?”

Mr. Brown Chunk of Wood did not answer. Inchy B was certain that if she got on top of Mr. Brown Chunk of Wood (let’s call him Mr. BCW) she could find her Other Self.

Sadly for her, it was rather hard to get up Mr. BCW. He had many corners and was rather tall. She was so disappointed in Mr. BCW that she wept mournfully for a whole second before drying her eyes. She didn’t really need to dry her eyes though, because eye that have been poked on to worms do not get tears in.

After tossing her imaginary handkerchief to the imaginary wind, Inchy B discovered a Mr. Black Piece of Plastic (Mr. BPP) who was much more considerate than the Chunk. She easily scaled his sides and crept up to the top.

Unfortunately, Mr. BPP was not touching Mr. BCW. Inchy gathered all of her courage up and held a conference with it. She didn’t have many courages but they were willing enough and she bridged the gap. Clay is a bit sticky, so her front stuck successfully to Mr. BCW.

She dragged her whole body onto the Chunk and made her way up, up to her Other Self.

YAY FOR INCHY!! 😄 What part was the funniest so far? 😀

Enjoy the rest of your day!

We made a little waterfall in our ‘creek’ the other day and my brothers and I even made a water wheel that spins in it! I’ll show you a picture sometime. 🙂
