I decided to get into the ACEO game! What's an ACEO? Just read below:
"Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards,[1] or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (6cm X 9cm),[2] small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.[3] The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.[4] Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc).
An offshoot of Artist Trading Cards are the "Art Cards, Editions, and Originals" (ACEO). ACEOs originated when some artists began to create cards to sell, in addition to trading among themselves."

So, I decided to make some mini artworks myself. Here are some examples:
And to see more, you can visit my ACEO gallery album here. And if you're interested in buying one of my ACEO art cards, or any of my other pieces of artwork, visit my Etsy shop and have a look.

I finally put some of my artwork up for sale at my Etsy shop. I have my acrylic paintings and my mixed media pieces up for sale at the moment. I also have a couple of ACEO original art cards for sale as well. Want to know what an ACEO art card is? Just click here! They're basically trading card-size pieces of art that usually sell for very reasonable, low prices. So, that's what my new project is, is to make ACEO art cards on top of what I'm working on already. I'm also working on a watercolor mermaid painting, a sexy dominatrix, and a dragonfly fairy. I feel as if I'm forgetting something. I have enough on my plate for the moment, though, so I really don't think that I need to start working on anything else at the moment. Thanks for reading!

I FINALLY finished the galleries. The photography gallery is all set up to go. You can see it by clicking the link on the top bar of the page that says "photography"...just in case some of you missed it ;) The only page left for me to do is the shop. That will probably take me a while though because I have to find all my artwork so I can list everything that I still have that is up for sale. Also, prints of all my artwork and photography are for sale, 8.5"x11" glossy prints for $15, signed. So if there is something that you like in one of my galleries that you like and want a print of, just email me at shellyolmstead@gmail.com with a link to the picture that you want, and I will email you back with payment information. Thank you for looking!
