Great resources, thank you =) And I have a question for you. Maybe it's a silly one, but I'm really curious. What's with all the pointy hats in mixed media art? Do they stand for something specific? I have googled it but didn't find an answer. And what's zetti-style? That's two questions. Sorry =D

I don't know who started the trend of the pointy "dunce" hats, but it was probably cute when it was done the first few times. Then *everybody* started doing it. Now everyone screams about how much they hate the pointy hats, but folks keep using them.

Zetti style was popularized by Teesha Moore, and it's anything whimsical, lighthearted, with a funny hat :-)

Don't do anything that you see others doing unless it really speaks to you personally. There aren't any "rules" when it comes to expressing yourself through mixed media art, so it would be really cool if YOU were to come up with the next trend! :-)
