What is: Zetti art?

I've come across references to 'Zetti' and have been doing a bit of Googling to find out exactly what this craze is all about and if it's something I might be inclined to try.  So, I found this article which endeavours to explain the whole Teesha Moore 'movement' (interestingly enough I came across her art a couple months ago) Seems to be a collaged/doodled mix incorporating odd body parts, winged bodies and pointed hats.

Kathy Morton-Stanion

In the midst of making and trading ATCs I met Kathy Morton-Stanion, an artist from Las Vegas.  Her work is breathtaking - full of soul and simply ethereal.    This is her Etsy shop and her website:

New in my sketchbook....

ATCs scanned

Just thought of scanning my ATCs in batches as I make them - I may be able to use the images for fabric designs, etc later on (and the photos won't work for that).  I've just made number 29 (25 of them are for trades / swaps) - I love making these and can't wait for my exchange cards to start flying into my postbox - it's like having art penpals :)

New in my sketchbook....

Just discovered metallic pastels - oh what fun!  Did a couple that were requested on ATCs for All and tried out 'Intuitive portraits'. 
PS: Donna, you're a sweetie popping in here all the time!
