Valentine ACEOs

Here are three ACEOs that I have made and would like to share with you all.
Each one is of course 2.5"X3.5". The first one is done completely by me but the last two have stickers added.

Speaking of winter blues...

Here is a blue birdie friend I don't see a lot of around here! The original is for sale on Etsy. It's also something I can cross off my Mission 101 list :-)

DRAGON FLY FAIRY & COSMO KITTY FOLK ART PRIMITIVES

“Dragon Fly Fairy & Cosmo Kitty”

This project design took my breath away!
It started with my three year old daughter wanting to help me. I said okay Julia you can tell me what color you want her hair to be! She said Red! It progressed all the way down to her little black shoes. After I had totally colored our design I thought maybe I should do a wash around her! Ooh big mistake I managed to really make a mess of the back ground. So I called on my little helper and explained the problem. She said “That okay Mommy we can just make another background” I thought long and hard on that one! Then it hit me yes she is right we can. I told Julia what we have to do is totally cut her out with scissors then place her on another background! It was a tedious job getting every little strand of hair and whisker cut. My exacto knife came in real handy! I called to Julia when I had finished and said okay I need you to pick out the background. She was very excited and proceeded to look though 50 scrap booking sheets! I am not kidding you she manage to only find four! Then I told her out of these four which do you like best and all I can say is the end is history! I was so impressed that I truly feel I could have not finished the project with out her! It is a design created by Mommy and Daughter!

Storqued

When my Flower Bird ACEO Magnet was featured in a Storque article over the holidays my shop received a bit of welcome attention. Yay!

One of the best parts was the opportunity to introduce the world of ACEO to many who had never heard of this great art form. Magnet ACEOs are a great way to present the art of ACEO because people are so familiar with the well-loved fridge (office, locker) magnet. It's a great jumping off point to the wide and varied world of 2 1/2 " X 3 1/2 ".

I received a much appreciated boost from the Storque article. My hope is that because of it, the love of ACEO will spread just a little bit more!

Elpha The Wicked Witch Of The West

CHUBBY SOME BUNNY LOVES YOU!

"Some Bunny Love You"

Hi I just wanted to share something new with you!
I have never really put any effort forth in formal training, in the art of sketching. Although my desire to learn is truly strong!
My hubby thinks you should learn everything on your own.
No Books no Classes so on...I must admit thus far, the thought on digital art "I have been successful"! I love to draw and even though I could use a course or two.lol I will continue to learn on my own. So I present a new kind of art today to you all!

This is my first collaboration of a sketch mixed with digital art!

I hope you like my newest creation.

A Flow of ACEO

I don't know about other ACEO creators, but ACEO's come in spurts for me! I also paint other sizes of small format art as well as watercolor on canvas and larger paintings. So how do I decide when to paint what size???

Well... sometimes it's just instinct. ACEO ideas just start flowing and I have to go with the flow!!!

Other times, I take my 9x12 watercolor block and divide it up, with pencil lines, into ACEO's with spillover space in between. When I do this... I can't use my 9x12 block until I've painted all my ACEO's - so there's some pressure there!

But I create in other media's too. I have card stock, yuppo, canvas and even ACEO stretched canvas, all waiting for the "mood" to strike!

One thing though... ACEO's are an addiction... so I can't go very long without having to create them. I even have my daughter starting on some with her own style - and I hope to present some of her work to you very soon.

Now that you know that my ACEO's come in spurts... let me show you the results of my most recent flow of paintings!

"Autumn In The Gorge"

"Misty Columbia Gorge"

"Autumn in the Northwest"

"Winter Traveler"

It would be fun to hear how some of our other ACETSY team members create ACEO's. Leave a message or your own post. Do you create in spurts? Do they flow or do you plan ahead? Do you create in other sizes? How do you decide what to do next?

Happy November!

Hi everyone! I've been a team member and a fan of this blog for some time but haven't posted until now. I just finished some new ACEOs and thought it would be a good "excuse" to say hello :)

This ACEO incorporates repurposed book pages, dressmaker's tissue, fabric, and a vintage photo transparency overlay. Elements are carefully shaped and layered, then freeform stitched with a variety of colored threads and stitches.

I need advice..going to a craft faire selling my ACEOs anyone who has done

I need some help and advice I am going to a craft fair next month and will be selling my aceos. Could you give me some advice about explaining what they are in a display, how to display them, pricing, any advice would be very appreciated. I have sold jewelry at craft fairs but this is the first time I will have tried to sell my art cards. So many people do not know about them that I feel like I have to do some education first.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MERRY CHRISTMAS

After waking at 4:30 am and not being able to sleep I decided to make good time while all was quiet. So I went as softly as I could to my studio which happens to be right on the other side of my 2 1/2 year old daughters room! He he Sneaky,Sneaky I was tapping gently on my keys to get my supplies and elements out to play. This sweet little piece took me FOUR HOURS! It consist of 34 layers. The little girl is altered in water color. Then I used a picture of a tree that my mother sent me and "carefully" altered it with a softer green by dumping paint on it. After which I used a softening edge on all other layers. Each ornament was carefully placed on the tree as well as the candy cane in the little girls hand!

Green Zen Dragonfly

~

This painting was painted 24 Karat gold paint and then made to look antique. The vines were treated in copper leaf, and the dragonfly treated in 18 karat gold leaf.

~

A six step process was used to create this 3D painting. It is painted on a standard playing card as cards work best with the 3D painting process.

~

Dragonflies are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness. The color green represents luck! =)

Dimensions: 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (Standard ACEO size)
