What is an ACEO? They are works of art that measure 2 1/2? x 3 1/2? and can be created in any medium: fiber, wood, fabric, paintings and more. They make collecting original art affordable. You’ll find original paintings and numbered prints. ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions & Originals. They can be addictive to collect.
I have been collecting them for a few years and have my collection on display here to get one idea of what you can do with lots of them. Let’s take a look at a few of the wonderful ACEOs on Zibbet. This week’s Fantastic Five is Beach Themed ACEOs. You’ll find more ACEOs on Zibbet in a category all their own here under fine art. I found more by searching ACEO here.
1. Tropical Beach Original ACEO by Crafty Moose $6: Crafty Moose describes this ACEO so well, I am sharing the words of the artist: “Can you hear the ocean? Can you feel the breeze? Can you smell the suntan lotion? Relax and enjoy Tropical Beach, an original ACEO painted with acrylic paints. It measures the standard size of 2 1/2? x 3 1/2?.”
2. Aceo Original Watercolor Painting - Maine Lobster by Maine Artist $8.99: Bright and beautiful lobster painting is an original using Van Gogh watercolor paints on 140 lb cold press acid free canvas. What a fabulous way to obtain an original artwork by this very talented Maine artist. As all ACEO art trading cards are, this work of art measures 2.5? x 3.5?.
3. “Seahorse” Original ACEO Watercolor Painting by Enchanted Craft $19: This beautiful watercolor ACEO is painted on heavy weight watercolor paper, inked in acid free ink and signed/dated on the back. A certificate of authenticity is included with this original work of art. It will arrive in a clear plastic hard case.
4. Teamwork Photo of Men in Virginia Beach VA Pushing a Vehicle by Becky Hayes $5: Want to make your own ACEO? This is a very funny digital download of an ACEO that you can print as many times as you want and create ACEOs for your own use or to sell physical ACEOs made with the design.
5. New Zealand Paua Shell Spiral Aceo by NewCreationNZ $9: Oh how I would love to go to New Zealand but in the meanwhile this Aceo made with New Zealand paua shell and acrylic paint would be lovely to look at and dream of the beautiful waters there. Original 2.5? x 3.5? on canvas. Add this one to your collection of Aceo’s.
