ACEOs (Artist Cards Editions and Originals) are collectable art 2.5" x 3.5" - that's the short answer. You can get a long answer later.
What do you do with them?
Some people put them in albums like baseball cards and try to collect them either with a certain theme or from their favorite artists or they try to get them from artists in every state in the USA or from as many different countries as possible.
Other people use them as accent art on a table or hanging on the wall.
The VAST team has many wonderful artist creating wonderful ACEOs.
Here are some examples. (sorry, these are clickable) You can also scroll down through our VAST blog and fin lots of great ACEOs.
Here are some ideas of how you can display them. Pick up a frame for a 2.5 x 3.5 picture and set them out.

Wonderful post with a lot of great information and ideas! I'm running a unique ACEO Trade at http://onepebble.net. I will pass along a link to this post's great ideas!
Amanda, what a fun idea you have (I checked your blog http://amandamakepeace.com/ ) I'll be sending you a pebble from the Bear branch of Whites Creek - it's just ten feet from my backdoor. I'll send a pic of the creek with it.
I agree with Lyndel. Amanda, what a neat exchange idea! When I visit my family, I'll pick a pebble for you. I have family on an island in Lake Erie and I have family in Spain...so I'll get two different pebbles for your collection.
Thanks Lyndel for the ACEO information and for including one of my enchanted garden designs.
