A Week of Haiku: Week Three (Insects), 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 Three in the project series "A Week of Haiku." The theme is Insects. A new card is created each day for a week, beginning this week on Monday; on Sunday the seven cards of the week are combined into a set. This set is from February 26 to March 4, 2007.

Media: Metallic acrylic, copper 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.
