The Love Fairy - A.C.E.O.- Collage/Altered Art
|
Hi, I'm Monique, and I have been a seller here for about one year. I work full-time at a local department store, and spend most of my free time here; Ebay is almost my second home.
In the beginning, all I wanted to do was sell some great vintage velvet ribbons and artificial flowers I had, but I soon discovered the wonderful world of A.C.E.O., and have made some great friends here.
A.C.E.O. is an acronym for "Art Cards Editions and Originals". They are art cards in any medium, and are 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" in size.
For years, artists have made and exchanged miniature works of art. These were always exchanged, and not sold. With the arrival of on-line selling, the opportunity to sell this great miniature art became apparent.
What a wonderful and affordable way for anyone to collect original art!
My own adventure in A.C.E.O.'s began when I discovered a fabulous group of Canadian artists. They called themselves "The A.C.E.O. Babes" They are a fun-loving multi-talented group of ladies, and I lurked for weeks, reading their forum. I finally got up the nerve to stop in and introduce myself, and the rest, as they say is history.
My first attempts were timid, a few altered art/collage pieces. The Babes were very enouraging, and I have kept at it. I have since made many ACEO's, and have sold quite a few here in Canada, and even in the U.S.
Though most of my work is Collage, and Altered Art, I also have tried my hand at Drawing and even have done a few pieces in acrylic paint. I love to try new things, and this is something I can do with this art form.
I have also begun to make larger pieces, under the acronym of O.S.W.O.A. or "Original Small Works of Art". They follow the same guide-lines as ACEO, but with a standard size of 4" x 6".
I am a member of ATC & ACEO Enthusiasts, The OSWOA Art Movement, Altered Art & Mixed Media (AAMM), ACEO - Art Cards Editions and Originals ans Small Format Art (SFA), all Ebay art groups.
