"Thankful Thursday...(#13)..."

Whew! What a variety and assortment of art this week!
Just like the multicolored fall leaves

fluttering from the trees...

gorgeous art has again landed on my doorstep!

Above are the 6 cards

I received in the Zentangle ATC Swap

over at Illustrated ATCs.

In order from L-R top row: These cards are from

Kat, Angela, and Katie.

The bottom row are cards from:

Patti, Marta, and Livia.

(Be sure to click on each photo posted today to enlarge it

as there is a lot of detail in each grouping.)

Then yet another trade with Melody in Utah

brought this little Egyptian beauty

and wonderful trade goodies to accompany her.

The card so unusual as it is cut to the shape of the portrait.

I absolutely LOVE Ancient Egyptian art!

Then, from Yoon See in Malaysia

came this bountiful cultural packet of all sorts of treasures.

I love the commemorative stamp

and it gorgeous fan shaped folder to pieces.

Whew! Just look at all these goodies!
I am totally fascinated by each and every one.

Thank you so much Yoon See :)

Finally, A beautiful acrylic monotype card

entitled "Arctic Poppies"came

from Katie in Alaska.

(One of her zentangle cards is in the group photo above)

I have made several private trades with Katie

through the Illustrated ATCs group...

and each trade I make

with her is an artistic delight.

I hope you find yourself today surrounded by

artistic beauty of some type...
Fully drench yourself in this beautiful autumnal season!

" A Zentangled Saturday..."

Illustrated ATCs.
