Cousins Originals - mixed media

ACEO - ATC = COLLECTORS ART CARDS

These 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

ORIGINAL pieces are mostly done in Pyrography (wood burning) on wood, 300# 100% cotton paper and Papyrus paper.  Also used are pen & ink, ink and oil based pencils, oil based inks and whatever else is handy.  You will also see Photographs of personal interest on cards.  On some, there may be bits of dimentional items for extra interest.

"JJ" (c) 2009 SERIES

"JJ" is a special little character that I created in 1992 for Series of Inspirational Booklets.

I have decided to bring her out of retirement in the hopes she will bring some new joy by way these Collectors Art Cards. 

REASONABLE SIZE, REASONABLE PRICE.

These wonderful little pieces of original art are a fantastic way to buy, sell, trade, display, gift, collect, or share, without taking up a lot of space or spending a lot of money.
