Artist Trading Cards – remember when…

Hello! It has been a very long while since I have been here in blog-land with you all!
There have been so many of you out there in the art show & art festival world that have asked to see additional art from me and even art from the past. With that in mind I will be posting a stroll down memory lane where I will be featuring older art and some never before seen treasures I have been working on more recently. 

I will be sharing my art in person at one more show this summer (below is a photo of my tent!). After the season is over, my ETSY shop should begin to fill up again… and when I am able, I will return to blogger more often!

I have been interacting and selling art online for more than 10 years. So many artists first became friends on eBay as we were making, trading and selling ACEOS (art cards, editions, and originals) – always 2.5” x 3.5”. The artist trading card as it was known in the 1800’s is still a mainstay for so many online artists! I have created hundreds over the years.

To see some of my artist trading cards (like the ones below) - click on the "ARTIST TRADING CARDS" tab located right under the blog header up top! You'll be taken to another page on this blog where they are featured! - thanks!!!

Above is a collection of one dozen healthy cupcakes - painted with acrylics on archival textured artist mat board - each measuring a tiny 2-inches square. I am not quite done yet ...

I have ideas to frame them on larger pieces of stock -- maybe use them on tags or cards ... I'm not sure yet exactly where they will all go, but I have been enjoying the 'baking' process since I have been away from my studio for too long!

My heart in this and my inspiration goes to this amazing artist:

Adrienne Trafford Art (find her BLOG here) ...

also Amy Weber Art (who wisely and intuitively brought several of us together many years ago) ... Francesca Burras (who has always been an immeasurable support - esp back in '06 with this enormous project)... also the gifted Denise Aumick of WildThreadStudio, the elegant Stacey Maddock at smaddockdesigns, and a few treasured other sisters you must visit (scroll down to the right and look under STUDIO33 artists) ~!!
