ACEO Note Cards
ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". ACEOs are collectible little pieces of art. An ACEO is always two and one-half inches by three and one-half inches. That is the size of a standard sports trading card. The rule about size is the ONLY rule in the ACEO world. An ACEO can be created in any medium the artist desires: paint, colored pencils, ink, etc. There are even ACEOs made from wood, clay, fabric, and metal.
The ACEO cards I created are folded note card instead of a flat piece. The card features a small collage made with decorative or hand-made papers. This miniature note card is great to place with a gift, use for a short thank you, or just an everyday love note. The collage is mounted on acid free watercolor paper and remains blank inside for your own message. Card measures 2 ½" x 3 ½" and comes with envelope in protective cello bag. Cards are $2.50 each

Monotype Note Cards
These hand-made card display an original watercolor monotype. A watercolor monotype is a combination of a painting and a print. An image is painted onto a plate with watercolors and other water-soluble media, and then pressed firmly onto paper resulting in a print. Part of the appeal of the monotype is that the original painting is slightly altered when transferred to the paper, creating an element of spontaneity. The monotype, as its name suggests, yields only one print, whereas in other printmaking techniques a plate can be re-inked and printed multiple times. Therefore, each print is unique. The monotype is printed on acid free paper and remains blank inside for your own message. Envelope included.
