What the Heck is an ACEO?

"Share The Love" an ACEO by Dean Dyment Studios

ACEOs are all over etsy and I finally had to figure it out.

Inquiring minds want to know..............even old ones.

Wikipedia is my source for all knowledge these days. (Lazy Me)

ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals. They are very small hand drawn or painted pieces of art.

I mean small. Baseball trading card size 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. A very cute, put them in your wallet, inexpensive way to share and collect art. Great for us poor types (you and me) who don't have the dough for fine art pieces.

The first ones, created by artist Michael Leavitt were even wrapped up nicely and included a slice of bubble gum! His first ones were of icons such as Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Jackson Pollock, Bjork and Michael Jackson!

Lori Dean Dyment makes glass pendants from some of her ACEOs and prints. Isn't this one adorable! And ...I won it in a give away on her blog!
Don't bother looking because there aren't any more. I can "feel" your jealousy( gloating).

Just Kidding Please Do go look! She has other fantastic items. Here's my favorite!
