Artist Trading Cards: aka ATCs. 3.5 x 2.5 landscape or portrait pieces of art, made to trade.
ACEO: Same as above, only made to sell.
Matchbox Shrine: A small or large matchbox used to honour or express gratitude. These are great!
Inchie: A 1 x 1 inch piece of artwork. You can use any media you like to make it, paper, fabric, wood, metal, etc. You can also use any technique you want to decorate it, such as collage, using a word and picture, a photo, watercolours, markers, etc…the list goes on! As always, I suggest trying a cereal box, kleenex box or whatever cardboard you can find in the recycling bin! You can make jewellery with them, wall art, ATC art, journal art, etc. you can keep them or trade them!

What is a Rolodex?
Moo - 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" rectangles. Designed and printed to contain a photo of artwork or other objects on one side and written info on the other, these are now made and traded in the same way as ATC's and inchies. Inspired by Moo business cards, but of course you can do it yourself!
