Mad ACEO: Ink

This time we decided on a series to post, because these things are addicting!

Mine turned out variously, but it was good practice!

Sorry these images are super yellow; I'd correct them, but not right now.

Mad ACEO: Black 2

Is this getting to be a habit?

We did another black ACEO...this time my picture is better, and I realized what Jessica was saying yesterday about the tooth of the smooth paper.  I hadn't seen a problem yesterday, but today I got out my Inktense blocks to use with my pencils and discovered that they really did not layer for long.


But my beeza turned out okay, anyway.

Mad ACEO: Black

Jessica and decided to do more cards today.  The theme was black, because black paper is cooooool.

I took a couple of pictures because I wanted to show off the shiny, even if the colors are a little weird at this time of the day for me.


I used my metallic pencils, my Inktense pencils, and maybe a bit of Graphitint.

Mad ACEO : Birthday

Jessica suggested that we do some ACEOs together.  I thought that was a fabulous idea, since I love doing them and would love to do them with someone else.

ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals, and I think this one might not *technically* qualify because it's just a little smaller than what the size is supposed to be, but...I don't care about technicalities.  I got these little colored papers when Jessica was here visiting and I thought it would be appropriate nonetheless.

Theme was birthday because...well, I couldn't think of anything else at the moment, lol.

Most often for birthdays, I have snowflake wrapping paper...because I love snowflake wrapping paper.  It was nice to do something a bit meditative today...this is inspired by the paper I used today to wrap Scarlett's present.  I don't usually use markers, so that was a fun change from normal.


Thanks for the suggestion to do these, Jessica!
