Beauties of the Silent Screen was the challenge I joined for a postcard swap. Oh...yes and Zetti her too. I wanted to use this image and so the only Zetti thing is of course her stripe stockings. However the hat and fan are Zetti fun items too. I was afraid to mail her without an envelope because of the copper door(German Scrap) and black paper German scrap on the top of the card. Have a fun filled weekend. Relax and enjoy the changing weather. Hugs, Diane
This was made for a swap. Postcards are so much fun to work on...Love the size but I guess I am just 4 x 4 chunky junky....I love the ribbons and charms and such, and I love the way they go into little books. But postcards are fun to make too. I think I may have had a swap lost in the postal system. It is really a bummer if it doesn't get to the host this week... I was the third person to add art to it. The first person does some art on three cards then mails them to the second person on the list. The second person adds more art then mails the three card to the third person who was me, and I finish the art and mail two cards to the first person...Anyway if she doesn't get them that means two people are out of the card...sad. I will make them a copy of the one that I kept and send them each a copy but it is not as good as the real ones..Oh well stuff happens and then more stuff happens...
I just wanted to add that I have been sending mail all over the world for about two years now and this is the first thing that didn't get there. I guess I have been lucky, others have had a few more problems. I mailed two things this day, one was a postcard that I sent in an envelope for protection. It was going to Netherlands, so I posted the card inside just so she could have the stamp and postmark...Well...the postcard fell out of the envelope. The day that I got the empty envelope with a notice on it, she got the postcard...She said it was the fasted mail she had ever gotten from the U.S. Go figure. Have an artFULL April....................Diane
Here is another Zetti I made for a swap. I thought she was fun. She is sorta floating above the rest. But look at those wings why wouldn't she flutter above the rest...
This was fun, I made it for a Thursday Postcard Challenge the theme of course being Zetti. I love Zetti's they can be just about anything. This one just sorta evolved while I was looking for images to use. The snail is from clip art I bought from Tim Holtz. I have had the legs along time, they are from Teesha Moore. The tickets I just received in a "swap of stuff" every month we swap misc. art papers and do dads and bits of this and that..I am very happy with her and will find it hard to part with.
PUBLISHED ART
How exciting....I entered a contest in October over at Mail Art World http://www.mailartworld.com/ and even thought I didn't win the contest my Postcard was published in the ART TRADER MAGAZINE http://www.arttradermag.com/ issue number 5 on page 31. Now most of you know I am not a big fan of Halloween and you know about my lovely friend Carol who was a big fan of the holiday and so you know why I entered this Halloween Postcard contest.
I am very impressed with this magazine. It is an on line magazine but I understand it is soon to go hard copy and we will be able to buy it right along with our many Somerset publications.
This postcard was fun.....It was made for a swap on Amusing Muses on Flickr. However I may have to withdraw two of them. I will see, I need to make a few more in the winter theme and see what I come up with. Hummmmmmm.........................................Diane
