#Art #ACEO`s #Collectable #Folksy.

If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can`t I paint you....

A beautiful picture always brings those words of that song to mind. Can`t even recall the name of the song now. But the bit about a picture painting a thousand words is so true.

Well I think so anyway. A beautiful picture can really grab you, make you just want to stare at it and the longer you do the more you see. Of course different styles appeal to different people, so its good to have a diverse range of artists too.

An ACEO - Art Cards, Editions and Originals are small works of art 3.5"x2.5" that are affordable for all. They are very collectible and you don`t end up filling the walls to overflowing.

If you like what you see today click on the picture to go to the shop and browse the other art they have for sale.

There are so many stunning pictures that I can`t fit them all on here, so the rest is up to you.


I sometimes have the urge to draw
I want to draw and paint much more.
A while ago I drew lots of faces
that really put me through my paces.
Don`t know who these people are
they were in my head from afar.
So many artists with so much skill
they have the gift and the will,
to create masterpieces for you
I think much praise is due.
Have a look and see what you think
if you like what you see just click the link.
You will go to the shop and see many more
click on the picture and take a tour.
A sample is all I have to show
you`ll have to make the effort and go
to browse and find more to see
I think you`ll be shouting with glee!

What a gallery!!! 

I started off choosing two from each shop thinking that there weren`t that many ACEO artists. I was clearly wrong.
There are still more out there too. It was a real job choosing which ones to put on here as well, unbelievably hard. The choices were amazing, so much talent!!

Hope you like my choices.

The theme of this Folksy Friday is The December Elves.

Still got to find that special gift?
Then step on board the Folksy lift.
I`ll take you through lots of shops
more than you`d get through in days of hops.
In this blog and older ones too
are hundreds of ideas brought to you.
I look and search far and wide
that's because I`m on your side.
I try to help and save you time
and bring a smile by writing this rhyme.
It doesn`t have to be all hard work,
get the work done and then you can lurk
around the shops and forums too
see what else is there for you.
Because you`re entitled to treat yourself
so come and buy something from an ELF.
We`ve toiled away, then danced with GLEE
every time someone visits us for a SPREE!!!!
