I've been getting in the mood for some new Zetti's so it has been good to go back and look at the old ones. There's something to that Seth guy and his smart go back and take a look project! If you don't know about this go check out the project here! You still have time to sign up and get involved.

Oooh I just love your Zetti's! What fun!
Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the wonderful comments. I'm blushing. :)
I've been lurking around your blog for a little bit now, and I always like what I see, such wonderful art!
I'm sorry to hear about your recent drama but glad to hear it's resolved now. (well sort of). :) Hopefully it will never happen again!
I'm always worried about breaking copyright laws too, and I try real hard not to, but I take images from magazines all the time, so I'm glad you posted that link, because I'm off right now to go read and make sure I'm not stealing anybody's art either. Yeesh, that would be bad.
I was away and missed all the drama! I am so sorry to hear that you had this experience. It's happening all over the place. You want to share your art but then you have to deal with the possibility of someone "stealing" it. I am glad you got yours resolved so you can continue to be a Happy People!
What a wonderful way to celebrate a reasonable outcome to the copyright crisis! While still not entirely settled, it is a beginning and hopefully it will help educate those who claim not to understand the rules. Your Zettis are exquisite and delightfully whimsical. Your colours are always so scrumptious. I am sure you have put a smile on the face of everyone who happens on your blog today! Thanks, Marsha.
I must admit that I am a total lurker of your blog. I absolutely adore your work and always find great inspiration from what you do. I read the drama you have been having lately and to let you know, this is nothing new. Card makers have been watermarking their work posted to their blogs for years. There is nothing worse than someone who will take another's work and pass it off as their own . . . especially if it is exactly as first posted with no modifications. I suggest the watermarking as it seems to have deterred the number of images harvesting among card makers.
I was away in "Airstream" heaven and missed all the drama. But I get that someone has ripped off your work and for that I am sorry. It is good to be back and catch up on things. Love the work you posted today.
Thanks for the link, Marsha! I already have the "disintegration project" hanging outside, but I join this "digging deep thing" too... your art is amazing!!! Love what you re-posted!!!
Well, you know I LOVE the second one. :) I'm glad you've got a game plan regarding the copyright infringement - keep us posted on the Anti-pirating day (I love the idea of it being on Talk Like A Pirate Day!). Love to you - Pam
Sorry to hear about your pirate. I know that feeling, it's almost like mourning the passing of someone that you admired, because you can no longer admire them. Having said that, I'd like to ask your permission to download a copy of your blog header. It is so bright and cheery and I would use it only as inspiration and would not copy parts of it in any form. I just want to tack it on my bulletin board amid all the colorful, wacky, inspirational pieces that look back at me each day. OK by you?
Thank you everybody! You all are always so full of support and great suggestions!
Katiedidit - I can't seem to get back to your blog so hopefully you come back and read this. Yes, you may!
These art gals are WonderFuL!!! Your blog is so inspiring!!! I just love your Art!!!
WOW! Marsha, my dear I've missed WAY TOO MUCH! I don't even know where to begin except to say I'm so sorry for all the drama and aggravation concerning your art. Your art is very distinctive, no one else out there does it quite like you. SO I'm sure your 'copycat' didn't even come close to your excellence. Yet I know how frustrating and maddening it is when someone rips you off! It's a violation and something to be taken very seriously.
I'm glad it is all resolved now and the good thing is you took the 'lemons' and made lemonade. It provoked you to come up with a flickr group to call attention to this as well as the 'blog day'. How clever. I will certainly join in. I will head over to flickr and see what's going on.
By the way, love your very first zetti, the fish and the hands are fabulous! And your newest piece-
Beauty Queen--LOVE IT! The background is wonderful as is the entire piece.
Thanks for stopping by and your lovely comments as always.
Hugs,
cathy
p.s. my husband always tells me that copying someone is the utmost form of flattery! maybe it's true but it's still infuriates me.
This is so fun to see your older buried treasures from before I knew you :) ! Yummy Zetti's ! I love the Lucky Fish the most I think - that green gets me...I am posting another oldie but goodie on Thursday for Seth's second go round as well. Guests are still here - it is such fun !!! Taking a few moments of me time to visit some blog friends as the boys do the dishes and Momma and Babe go for a little walk.
"See" you later this week !
Zetti? I follow Seth's challenge around and find a fellow ZETTIte?
Were you in ZettiZoo?
sigh.......I love Zetti.
I enjoyed reading your blog. Once I got started I kept going.
I just got so excited seeing a Zetti lover. :)bea
