A.C.E.O.'s Art Card Editions & Originals

The nine card are meant to go together, displayed in one clear page.
These 9 feature mermaids, but there are more to come!
A.C.E.O. stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals.
ACEO's follow only one rule exclusively, and that is that they must adhere to a standard ATC or Art Trading Card size.
That size is 2.5"x3.5" All ACEOs are based on the idea of a creating an affordable, tradable, collection of limited or open edition printed or Original Art Cards.
People do all sorts of things with ACEO's besides collect and hoard them. ACEO's are traded, and people find all sorts of ways to gift them, in greeting cards or as bookmarks. ACEO's are displayed in sets, or individually, matted or informally. One artists collects them in bowls, Filling up antique glass bowls, and displaying these tiny masterpieces.
There are also miniature enthusiasts, who love owning original oil painting in miniature. ACEO's are framed for dollhouses or displayed in groupings of miniature art.
They can brighten up your office space, they fit on the dash, but if you're like me you'll keep an overstuffed Art Book on the coffee table. A binder stuffed with the 3x3 clear collector card pages like the kind that baseball card collectors use, which can be picked up at any local hobby store.
Whatever you do with your ACEO's, know that people around the world are collecting, trading, and enjoying them in their own ways and inventing new uses everyday. Try making your own!
More on this topic later. ;D
