Woo - it's been a while.
The week's been crazy busy with my dad's Khmer Navy Reunion on top of many projects that I've been working on! I've recently been experimenting with greeting cards (
"OH DEER!"), but we'll talk more about that next time!
What I wanted to talk about today?
ACEOs!So for those that are curious...
ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals." Basically, they are miniature works of art the size of a trading or playing card (2.5" x 3.5"). They are an inexpensive way to purchase my artwork - and a new obsession hitting Etsy!
What do you do with my ACEOs?Collect them, display them (in albums, frames, books), trade them, give them as gifts, use them as bookmarks, decorate your walls, and who knows what else!
There quite a bit of ACEO collectors on
Etsy, but I've recently jumped on the band wagon. Actually, I just recently got accepted into the ACEO team on Etsy! You can visit them on Yahoo! Groups here:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of my ACEOs are reproductions of the originals in my shop, but a few are originals themselves! Here are a few of them:



All ACEOs are carefully packaged in a super-clear acid-free ACEO sleeve to keep it protected and happy!

I hope you like what you see!
Leave comments with suggestions for future ACEO creations!
In addition, I've been meaning to start my own ACEO collection soon -
comment with links to your (or your favorite) ACEOs!
'Til next time - happy blogging!
xoxo,
