Zetti paper doll

I could make things easier on myself if I did not make paper dolls double sided so often! The doll with straightened legs is just under 11 inches tall.

The doll, but especially the black and red side, was inspired by the style of the "Odd" zettiology dolls as seen here. There is an eyelet with an arrow on the left leg of the chicken, and the left arm on the black/red side is a dragonfly.

daVinci style collaged PC

I have vote DaVinci as the hardest artist to emulate in collage!

 The one on the left is more like a daVinci journal page.

With postage (required by the swap) and a bit of poetry on the reverse (for my partners):

and the start of a CNY envie:

In the style of Carla Sondheim

Watercolor backgrounds, wit he blob animals drawn out using marker, colored pencil, and some watercolor pencils (but not additional water). Some are partially edged in marker or colored pencil.

Zetti samples

Swap sign-ups seem to draw more participants when there is a picture with the initial listing, so when I host I try to at least get something up quickly.

Zetti Valentine ATC

Partial for a Zetti Year of the Horse PC

 I think the horse will end up with more black and white added.

Little ATC Houses

Not A Hobbit House

Paper scraps tree

Postage Stamp backgrounds

For some reason this was a difficult concept for me to understand - I read and re-read the description before being really ready to start.  I did not want to just collage a stamp on top of a stamp background although that was what I got from a partner.

The eagle background is a partial.

Cat ATC Sampler

I think they work best as a set - you can see it was a sketch series.

#2 and #3 were used in a Cat ATC with a recycled component swap.  They both had bits "left over" from a paper doll piece I had been working on in 2012 or 2013.  T#2 also reused cardboard from food packaging.

The upcoming Chinese New Year may not have been a required element in these trades, but it was certainly on my mind.
