In a BNR today the topic of discussion went to ACEO's which stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals for anyone who doesn't yet know about these addictive little gems!!! Also commonly referred to as Art Cards, they are all a standard size of 2.5" x 3.5" the same size as a baseball card.  They can be made from whatever the artist wants to make them out of. I have seen them painted, made from clay, yarn, photos, felt, the options are really limitless, as long as they meet the standard size then they are accepted as an ACEO.   Here are a few examples of ACEO's from the Etsian Artists Team....
