Spring ACEO's and a Kids Kabin Plaque

Spring is such a lovely time, the birds are chirping and the flowers are growing, some of my favorites are...
snowdrops

the lovely daffodil

and pretty bluebells

These flowers are miniature paintings generally called ACEO's, which is an acronym for Art Cards, Editions & Originals, sometimes known as ATC's Art Trading Cards. They are small works of art measuring 21/2 x 31/2 inches. They are great fun to do.

With the weather improving, it is also the time for children to play lots more in the garden. I was commissioned, via my Wow Thank You shop, to make this hand painted plaque for a children's garden shed. I love the jungle theme.

  15. These would be so cute in little white frames. I love them. Do people trade these anymore? I just read about a pen pal painting exchange program and I think ACEOs would be perfect for that.

    1. Thank you, funny enough I have some aceo's in frames, some white :) I think people still trade these, there are a few blogs etc about that do swaps etc. I have some framed as examples in my Etsy Shop, it's probably a good idea to do more. Thank you
