Little Green Fish ACEO

Number 8 in the series, this one is on a bright green background with bits of purple and orange. Unusual colors, but fishy doesn't mind.

The fish is cut from origami paper; the background is painted with acrylic paints on paper.

Little Big Fish ACEO


This one is slightly different than the other fishies -- he's much bigger! Even though he's a big guy, he still seems like a sweetie.

I like how he's cropped along the bottom of the card.

As with the other cards in this series, the fish is cut from origami paper, and the background is painted with acrylics on paper. Standard 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

Little Yellow Fish


Little yellow fish is swimming along blowing bubbles. He's made of origami paper; the background is painted on paper with acrylics.

Like all my ACEOs, this card is standard ACEO size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

Kissing Fish ACEO


Here's the third blue ACEO in the Artomat series. A couple of cuties, aren't they?

The background is painted with acrylics on paper. The fish are cut from my favorite miyabi chiyogami origami paper.

The little fishies are available in my Etsy shop: http://lifeneedsart.etsy.com.
Kat from H20Works has been busy building another treasury, and this time she's included my Double Sweet Hearts.

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=75301

This treasury is a "BNR": Buy 'n Replace. Buy something from an Etsy shop listed in this treasury and she will replace it with an item from your Etsy shop. If you don't have an Etsy shop, that's ok. You can still buy an item anyway.


The rules are in the first comment under the pictures.


Kat has a wonderful Etsy shop full of fine art prints, ACEOs, greeting cards, graphic design services, and some knit and crocheted pieces. Take a minute and shop by her shop: http://H20Works.etsy.com/ .


Treasuries are short-lived events, so catch it before it expires on August 12.

Circle of Hearts in Blue

And, here's another blue ACEO from my new series. If you're keeping score, you know there are only 3 blue ones in this series, so only one more of this color to come.

This cutout couldn't decide if it wanted to be hearts, a flower, or a snowflake. I kind of like it as a circle of hearts.

Blue Snowflake: New Series

I've been working on a new series of ACEOs along with the series of art blocks that I'm doing for Artomat. There are 9 in the ACEO series: 3 in blue, 3 in yellow, and 3 in green. One green fishy ACEO has already been sent off to a new home. This is the second.

As with so many of my ACEOs, the background is painted with acrylics on paper. The snowflake is cut from my favorite miyabi chiyogami origami paper. Yes, I realize that this is August and snowflakes are a bit out of place, but oh, well. I like it anyway.
