Cousins Originals - mixed media

ACEO - ATC = COLLECTORS ART CARDS

Collectors Trading Cards are 2.5" x 3.5" miniature pieces of art in which any media may be used.  Since size is the only actual criteria, reproductions are also accepted, and a bit lower in cost which allows for collecting even more!

ACEO = ART CARDS, EDITIONS & ORIGINALS

ATC = ARTIST TRADING CARDS

AAMM = ALTERED ART / MIXED MEDIA

AAMM cards are the same size and purpose as the ACEO and ATC cards with the difference being that these are all  ORIGINAL ART (though, upon request, I do make PRINTS from time to time).  Any material may be used to form the art including bangles and bobbles, and ??? but you will see that most of my pieces include the amazing gifts that NATURE offers.

CERTIFICATE of AUTHENTICITY signed and included with each COLLECTORS ART CARD.  Everything comes in a protective sleeve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HEAT LAMINATION is performed on ALL cards that contain NATURAL items, i.e. flowers, feathers, etc., in order to protect and preserve their fragile nature.  The Laminate does affects the photography so what you receive will actually be even nicer that the picture you are looking at.  Due to the lamination the overall size is 2-5/8"x3-5/6" which is a tad larger than the standard.
