ACEO's

A few months ago I  saw my first ACEO’s on the Etsy website, and directly fell in love with the whole concept.

An AECO is an ArtCard, which can be sold and purchased. Its only restriction is its size, which must be 2,5x3,5 inch / 64x89 mm, medium and content are totally up to the artist.

ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals.



What I love about ACEO’s first of all is that you’re able to make a little work of art, which can be prized so it is not that expensive to purchase. So more people can enjoy having an Original piece of art in their homes.

Secondly, is the possibility to start a collection of something which will be unique each time you find a new coveted example.

Third the freedom in how to collect and/or expose your ACEO’s: You can collect them in albums, show them in a frame on your wall, what ever you like best.

 

ACEO’s provide a lot of freedom for creators and collectors.

If you want to have an update on my own creations, please feel free to vist my Etsy shop:

My Etsy shop!

I started a new online shop at Etsy last month.

http://karensanders.etsy.com

I love the community of creative people from all around the world. 

Last month I opened up my Etsy shop, where I present several of my “Baths”, originals and limited prints.

My goal is to add and present new work on a regular basis: drawings, paintings, prints, ACEO’s etc. For quite a while I have been losing myself in the possibilities of mixing multimedia techniques with my already existing drawings and paintings and this shop gives me that little extra push to not only invent the work, but to also get it done and get it “out there”.  ;-)

 

So for a start I present you: the Baths.

I’d love to hear what you think about it,

 

Karen.
