ACEO stands for “Art Cards, Editions and Originals” and for collectors, the only qualifier for an ACEO is that it measures 2.5 by 3.5 inches. I remember them being popular in the early to mid-noughties, and they were the easiest things to create, sell on eBay, and then ship through normal post. There was not even need for padding or reinforcing the envelope because it just fit in regular mail, sometimes registered if the buyer chose.
As small works of art, they lent themselves to experimentation and sometimes pure silliness, like the “Bunny Avalanche”. It was time to put them all on the same page. I may just try creating a few again.
There was a series of prayer tree paintings that I did to ACEO dimensions:
Some of the more experimental ACEOs used several types of paper (including patterned paper) glued onto one surface.
