About a year ago I discovered a neat way to express and share your art. You create your art, be it a painting, pen and ink, Zentangle, collage, weaving, and on and on, whatever your little heart desires, on a card (or not) that measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2". Yes, SIZE is the only restriction. Whatever you do it must measure only 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" (the size of a baseball card or a classic playing card). If you haven't already heard about creating these little gems and think you might be interested, please read further. The ATC stands for "Art Trading Card" and the ACEO stands for "Art Card Editions and Originals". The idea of these cards are to either trade them (for free) with other artists or groups of people who also create them or sell the card to people who collect them (and there are many who do). If you haven't already heard about this you'll be surprised to see how many websites, blogs, Yahoo, Flicker, ETSY and eBay groups there are dedicated to ATC/ACEOs.
Rather than my going on and on about this here I'll provide you with a direct link to a more complete post I wrote on one of my other blogs that will explain all of this much further, offer you additional links regarding ATC/ACEOs and where you can see some examples of my own cards.

It's just another fun thing to do with art. Enjoy!
Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of this and it seems like a great way to use tangles.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome, Karen. And, yes, I hope to tangle a few myself one of these days.
