On April 16th we announced this ACEO challenge on the Community Hub. Thirty five Zibbet shops entered the challenge. Today’s Fantastic Five features the winners.The challenge was to make an ACEO in any medium: oil painting, acrylics, watercolors, charcoal, fabric, fiber, wood, metal, leather, anything goes. ACEOs are miniature works of art 2 1/2? x 3 1/2? the size of a baseball card. This Zibbet Challenge attracted artists who have been making ACEOs for years and introduced the concept to some artists who were anxious to attempt something new.Be sure to see all the entries in the Zibbet ACEO Challenge on Pinterest. Special thanks to the four Zibbeters who volunteered their time to be the jurors: Rhonda, Rebecca, Becky, and Kelly.
