Hi All !!!

~Rapture~

Just dropping by to say hi as I am the newbie to this great group. I am Dani and my shop is AmbitionsDesign.etsy.com. I work in many mediums but like many, I am addicted to ACEO's!

Thought that I would leave you all a few pics of my valentine aceos.

Hope they bring you a smile.

~Happy Creating~

All Things Bright And Beautiful?

These ACEOs are doing their best to be just that! All are acrylic on high quality paper, and are amongst the first of the painted ACEOs I've made. I'm having fun...perhaps you can tell! All of them, and more, can be found here

They may be the first, but I doubt very much that they'll be the last! I love working in this small format.

New ACEO - fun with printing blocks

This ACEO was created using one of my own designed and carved printing blocks. The image was printed on acid free paper with heavy acrylics then embelished with pen & ink and edged with a silver leafing pen.

New Kid In Town...

Hey all! *waves*
I've been on etsy for some time now, but haven't been making a lot of aceos up until recently... Primarily, I am a jewelry artist, but I'm also enjoying the heck out of getting to play with my paints again!!

Here's my latest piece called Purity.

In many ways, I feel like I'm still finding my own style in collage art, but I enjoy working with inspirational messages, and feelings that make you smile...

Check back soon for more to come in My Shop and thanks for looking!!

New Year, New Shop, New Everything!

Even a couple of ACEOs! Much as I love my artmixter shop, I felt that my paintings needed a room of their own, so now I have a second shop, purelypainting

Which left me in a bit of a dilemma....where to put the ACEOs? Answer...both shops! Mixed media pieces go into the artmixter shop, and painted pieces into purelypainting. I'm just hoping I don't get confused...sigh...

This particular ACEO, Swirl III, is an oil painting on paper for oils. I hope you like it!

Whichever works best for you. Thanks all!

Daffodils and Blue Bells Aceo

From My Brush

As a new beginning for 2008 I have decided to work on some of my paintings I want to keep as Aceos in an album for my coffee table. This particular picture hangs in my daughter's house in Nashville, Tn. It is done in Pen and Ink with Acrylics wash. I love the realistic and soft blend in this Aceo.

Through out the year I will pick some of my favorites and put them into limited editions of prints of originals. In this way I can best utilize

my art work for works of art to please anyone in size,technique,color, and price. My theme is "Let Me Share My Joy of Painting With You."

ACEO - set of two

This is a set of two ACEOs created from a printing block I designed and carved. These ACEOs were created using watercolors, glaze pen, pen & ink, gel pen, colored pencils, and gold leafing.

NEW QUILT

Happy New Year, everyone!

Blessings!

New block print ACEOs

I just listed two new ACEOs created using wood and lino blocks.

"Deep Within the Forest"

New here!

I am new here and thought I would post one of my ACEO's...

Does Christmas Do This To You?

Christmas is, of course, meant to be the season of goodwill...love, peace, happiness, contentment...ring any bells? But often, it feels like a treadmill, and when you've struggled through the umpteenth busy shop to find that they've sold out of whatever it is that 9 year olds 'must have' this year, I'm sure you too will See Red. Unless, of course, you have the patience of a saint...in which case, the calm hovering of 'Even Angels Dream' might be more your cup of egg nog... either way, have a very happy time...

The technical details? Seeing Red is made from hand dyed tissue paper, with a piece of hand dyed Evolon and some found papers attached; Even Angels Dream is also made from hand dyed tissue, with found images and papers, and some tiny glitter stars. A bit of glitz for Christmas...available from my Etsy shop

Christmas Stockings

All in a row...

Holiday Blessings!

Not Just Another FACE in the Crowd

I made my first Etsy TREASURY and did it on my favorite ACEOs to collect. Did you know that people search ACEO FACE?? All ACEOs... only for a day I think... gosh I was so nervous...all happened so fast.

By the by, I'm new here to your blog and glad to find you all! Happy Turkey Day too!

SnowFlake Fantasy

I am new to the group (hi!), so I thought I would introduce myself with my latest ACEO.



This card was inspired by the FAE (Fantasy Artists of Etsy) Street Team's Snowflake Fantasy contest. You can see some of the other entries here.

This is MY fantasy. Small dragonlings carefully guide each snowflake to its designated spot in the sky so that it will fall "just so" and at exactly the right time. This ACEO is my own interpretation of the magic in the ordinary.

It's Been...

that kind of a day. My 20ft shed/studio arrived yesterday, but the builders failed to appear today, so no shed in the back garden. Just enough to make me See Red...which is the title of this new ACEO which I've just popped into my Etsy shop. Lets hope tomorrow will be a brighter, better day...I'll be able to get better photos taken, and maybe the builders will come. A girl can hope!

Sometimes...

you need something pretty and peaceful to look at. After all, it's only natural. And that's the name of this particular ACEO, made using lutradur on found papers, with found images and a shimmery skeleton leaf added. It's one of my favourites; it's on my etsy shop, if you'd like more details. Reminds me of summer...just as winter is coming in.

New Dragonflies ACEO

etsy Item 7671949

Three dragonflies flit through a forest of green bamboo. This feng shui landscape, from the Zen Mandala series, is an original miniature acrylic painting.

New ACEO Seller - Listing Like Crazy!

Watch the number of ACEOs in my shop expand this first week of November! This one I put up today is one of my favorites, but since I work in series with my art cards there will be four more variations listed over the next month. My first set of listings includes abstracts and landscapes.

Visit my shop and take a look!

Never Say Never...

for it will come back to haunt you!!! I said never to ACEOs, once; and now here I am, making them with gay abandon...it's an obsession, you know... Oh, well. At least I'm spending time usefully and productively! And it is a good way of trying lots of different styles; the first image is made simply from lutradur, stitch and found papers.

This second image is a section of a photograph of an abstract painting, which I then altered with acrylic paints. It may be an obsession, but it's FUN! Both cards available here

inspired by ACEOOCTOBER

My new to me laptop died, and I suspect that Memory Ghouls and other computer bugs may be to blame. Available here.

it is an ACEO addiction...

and I just can't stop playing ;)
More carving and printing love in my little shop! I have also started playing with my new Epson printer... clicky clicky for more fun items on their way ;)

Candy Corn Field

Ever wonder how Candy Corn is made? Wonder no more! This is a painting of the birthplace of that delicious concoction! Notice the baby plants in the background. When the blooms first appear on the stalks, the centers are baby buds of gold. Later, when the blooms become larger, the centers turn into a delicious dollop of vanilla! And now you know...

What comes from the heart goes to the heart.

I have been digging into my collection of found objects and creating another line of small art tags. Each piece is a one of a kind; collectible tag. Suitable as an upcoming Holiday ornament, bookmark, or as a gift all by itself. Going up today in my Etsy shop!

I have been creating embellished ACEOs over the last year and find my collectors like them for their affordability; in comparison to the price of full sized collage pieces. Understanding that buyers are investing in these tiny canvases I will not reduce my prices in order to retain their purchase value. I do, however, combine shipping on multiple pieces. My pieces include tiny pieces of found art objects, glass beads, charms, acid free paints and contain many (many) layers of polymer medium - items not found in most other ACEOs. Each is signed and dated. These are collectible pieces which you will want to display year round.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind so I go all out with shipping; I know you want to receive the item in pristine condition, I mail in a protective envelope, insured - with tracking.

Couple new ones for me.

Block Party Press - New ACEOs and A Feature

I have been making some new paper ACEO's lately. I like to recycle and use recycled items in my work, so when I took a picture of the cardboard that I use for painting pendants for the Flickr Crafting 365 Group, I saw the potential to create a new line of ACEO's called "Leave Nothing Behind". This is the original photo that inspired them:


I decided to start painting my pendants on cardstock so that I could make them into ACEO's easier than using cardboard. Here is what I came up with:

The pink ones were featured this week on the ACEOToGo blog.

These will be going into my Etsy shop sometime this week and they are also available for trade!

Hello, I recently opened my Etsy store and quickly discovered ACEO'S. I am a doodler and
have saved them on scraps of paper, napkins, etc for years keeping them in shoe boxes.
Making ACEO'S gives me an outlet for my compulsive doodling and let's me get them out into the world instead of languashing in boxes. Yahoo! I was excited when I ran across the
ACETSY Blog and look forward to being an active member!
