Art Cards
Editions And Originals, also known as Artist Cards or ACEO Cards, are very
affordable and collectible.
My daughter, Tiana, and I started doing ATC's
(Artist Trading Cards) in December 2010. It was actually my daughter's
suggestion because initially she was a bit overwhelmed doing Art Journal
pages. By chance, she found a great book, as we were checking out buying
some art supplies, called "Artist Trading Cards Workshop" by Bernie Berlin.
We took it back home and from the examples shown, started making our own
version of cards.
They are fun to make and you get almost instant
gratification. You can make a card in a relatively short period of time
compared to doing art on journal pages or canvas. There is no end to the
creative possibilities with these little cards! What is so pleasing is
that making cards is a great creative outlet.......we are often amazed
at how they turn out. When you are making a card you loose track of time
and are very much in the present moment.
We never really intended to trade the cards.
But after having been told that we should consider selling them by a number
of our friends and family, that is what we have decided to do.
When ATC's are sold rather than traded, they
are called ACEO Artist Cards. ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions
and Originals". These cards have one main rule - they are 3.5 inches
by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card.
ACEO's can be made in many different mediums
and of different subjects.
-
Watercolor
-
Oil
-
Acrylic
-
Colored Pencil
-
Pastels
-
Pen and Ink
-
Collage - Our favorite
-
All of the above as mixed media.
There is no limit. These cards can be done in
virtually every style:
-
Abstract
-
Altered art
-
Surrealism,
-
Impressionism
-
And more . . .
They are very collectible and affordable.. Originals
cost $12.00 to $25.00 plus shipping and handling. Purchases can be paid
thru Paypal with a credit card. If you wish to buy one to five cards at
the same time, the shipping and handling fee will only be charged once.
Please email us or call us to make these special arrangements.
