ACEO craze


The ATC (artist's trading card) or ACEO (art cards, editions and originals) originated way back in the 16th century. For more history Art-Cards.org

Today it seems every branch of art has found a way to adapt the diminutive size. The challenge is to squeeze desirable art onto a small canvas. I do work small...but what story do I have to tell at 3.5 x 2.5 inches?

What made me do it? The PCAGOE February challenge is "ACEO"!

And that is my story...

Hi Nicole,
Thanks! I took a break from the other piece I was working on (for over a month and finally finished Sunday!)l. This was a good break. Different and a theme I have been promising myself time to explore.
