ACEO Photography

I have noticed a trend of photography ACEO and was interested in how many artists sample their work this way. It seems to be gaining popularity with sellers, but I haven't seen a real jump in the market for it yet. I think it would be pretty neat to get a wallet from potential photographers as a sample of what the prints will be.

I wonder if this size art will transition well to photographer where, lets face it, bigger is better. At least in my opinion. I love seeing my children's faces blown up super-sized on the wall or have a massive framed art piece over the mantle. Will photography become as collectible as my favorite little pocket masterpieces?

I'm not sure, but I love them anyway. If you click on my site you will find some of my ACEO cards for sale and my most recent photography available in the same format. I hope they catch on as a collectible because I believe catching an amazing shot and freezing it forever on film is just as beautiful as recreating it with brush strokes.

I'd love to hear what everyone else feels about pocket photography as a trend.

Thanks for reading. I hope you have a great week and get outside as much as possible in the coming Spring!

Fellow Tennesseean Feature

Welcome to my first blog entry for DAWG (Designing Artist Women's Group) ! I joined DAWG quite some time back and there are such wonderful, special and talented ladies here! Though I think we all came together with our love of ACEOs, we create all kinds of spectacular things from art to jewelry and from photographs to home decor. You will find so many things here!

For my first post, I thought I would spotlight one of my fellow group members. The lady who created our group is Lisa. She is a wonderful lady and a fellow Tennesseean. I first met her through ebay a couple of years ago. With the question of ebay groups becoming extinct, she quickly sprung into action and created a ning group just for us. There are all kinds of fun things going on in the group from contests, prayer groups, treasuries, group events, etc. It's really beginning to pick up the pace lately and is so much fun!

Lisa has an etsy shop called Art by Lisa K and you can see her shop by clicking here.

Here's one of my favorites from her shop:

I hope you have an opportunity to stop by her shop. She has beautiful artwork, photography and drawings.

My posting date for this blog will be the 20th of each month. So, I'll talk to you all again soon :)

Until then, Happy Shopping!
