Halloween + Fairies = Fun ATC Swap






High up on my to-do list for the weekend and now checked off early are five artist trading cards for a swap on Flickr hosted by published artist Lisa Kettell, also known as Moonfaires (not a typo). Lisa is absolutely everywhere- active in ZNE, listing on ebay, publishing zines, books and e-zines, hosting swaps and running multiple blogs. Here is just one of the spots she can be found: http://moonfairesworld.blogspot.com/.


So in a valiant effort to keep pace with her flurry of activity, I completed my cards early. If only I could have a magic wand to poof them off to her. But no, the envelope-, bubble wrap-, stamp- and mail-fairies all want a piece of the action. It's rather ironic, as I really don't consider myself "into" fairies- but I learned that word has a broad definition. Pretty much if it has a hat, wings or wand, it might just be a fairy. Feathers, glitter, crowns, moonbeams: an added plus.


Some of my cards feature ARTchix products like paper and transparencies, and some include items from Lisa's Altered Art on ebay. All include my personality.

Welcome to Zetti Pre-School




I created this 8 x 10 paper collage on artist board today, using some heads I got in a Zetti swap with ARTchix friend Jade from Michigan. I made this for my Flickr Zetti group. There are nearly 300 members, fans and afficionados of artist Teesha Moore. There are also over 1,000 gorgeous pieces of art to view here http://www.flickr.com/groups/zettiology/ including some of mine.

Some of the bodies are from Lisa's Altered Art on ebay; some of the heads and hair were drawn by me. The wings are from a wall paper border (what a clever idea!) given to me by my CaaT friend Sue Young in Tampa for our Art & Scent swap.

The teachers' instructions are helpful: please leave extra-large wings, wands and heads at home on gym day. Bring nap mats and cupcakes on Tuesday. I did have a rabbit head girl I drew also, but she wouldn't fit. However, I have four Zetti postcards due October 15 for a Swapbot swap, so I am sure she will come in handy.

If you haven't scanned all the way to the bottom of my blog, there is an ever-changing, ever-growing slide show running, courtesy of Ning, the new home of the ZNE Talk art group, and home to a bunch of fabulous artists.
