A Week of Haiku: Week Two, finished set
This is an original, one-of-a-kind set of seven mixed-media collage ACEOs ("Art Card, Edition and Original"). It is Week Two in the project series "A Week of Haiku." A new card is created each day for a week, beginning on Sunday; on Saturday the seven cards of the week are combined into a set. This set is from February 12 to 24, 2007.
Media: Regular and metallic acrylic, gold leaf, gloss varnish, and cut paper on 140 lb Canson watercolor paper. The back of each card is decorated with dark blue-on-blue handmade "Tibetan Cloud" print paper, as shown in the first photo. Each card is initialed, dated, and numbered by the artist.
Size: 3.5 x 2.5 inches (standard ACEO size) with rounded corners.
Each of the seven cards comes in a protective plastic sleeve and the set is in an archival kraft-stock envelope with a button + string closure. The envelope has a decorative label of papers, and gold leaf.
