Art cards continue to gain popularity <br />
Today there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world.<br />
What are Art Cards, ACEO’s, and ATC’s? <br />
<br />
Surprisingly, art cards have been around for hundreds of years. These three terms are so similar that sometimes they are used interchangeably. ACEO is an acronym for Art Cards, Editions and Originals. Therefore, ACEO is the modern term that describes how we exchange these cards with each other. So, for the sake of simplicity let’s refer to them as Art Cards or ATC’s. <br />
The only requirement that is etched in stone is that they are of a specific size. <br />
2.5 x 3.5 (64x89mm). Once you have the size down, throw out all the rules. ATC’s can be on any weight of paper, texture, color or subject matter. They can be created with multi-media or any material such as etching, oil, collage or watercolor. <br />
<br />
In the 14th century nobles, royals, and wealthy merchants hired artists to paint art cards of their daughters to arrange marriages. Since there were no cameras, it was a convenient way to provide an unbiased image to potential suitors. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. <br />
This brings us to our next true story from English history.<br />
<br />
With trepidation in his heart, King Henry 8th, commissioned Holbein a respected artist of the time, to paint an art card of his betrothed, Anna Von Cleve. She was to be wife number four. Great distance separated them so he relied upon the art card. He approved of the image and agreed to marry. New Year 1540, marked the day, King Henry the 8th saw Ann Von Cleve, which he likened to a draft horse once he finally gazed a true eye upon her face. <br />
The king swore the ATC artist had embellished the portrait with finer features than were truly hers. He soon divorced her for the next wife number five, Katherine Parr. See henrytudor@bleyonder.co.uk for more photos of Anna Cleve.<a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=381949183" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2027/12639294/22541439/t-381949183.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a><br />
<br />
Another period in history emerged for the art cards. Renaissance artists began to abundantly trade cards. If you are trading art cards you are in company with the likes of Vincent Van Gogh. He as many others used this method as a way to share style with contemporaries as well as show off new techniques to competitors. ATC history credited these artists as the first to use both sides of the art cards. The image was painted on one side and a brief description on the other. <a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=376676464" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2027/12639294/22644047/t-376676464.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a><br />
<br />
Today art cards are the rage in many digital forms using technology which took off in the 90’s. The celebrated Swiss artist, M. Vanci Stirnemann, in 1997, used his style and techniques to secretly create 1200 cards by hand. Much to the surprise of the patrons in Zurich, Switzerland, his entire exhibit was comprised of only ATC’s. Then he wowed them again when, on the last day of the exhibit in, he encouraged participants to make their own in a classroom setting. The movement took off and now you can find artists of all backgrounds presenting theirs personalized ATC’s.<br />
Today, artists can use technology to make the cards and also use modern technology to market them. ATC’s can do the work of an agent as far as getting an unknown artist’s work in front of the right people. Cards are sold and traded on the Internet in a huge way using online stores like EBAY. You can also find many websites specifically to trade or sell ATC’s. People that could not afford but appreciated and desired work from a specific artist can now buy art cards and ACEO. New artists can create cards for the entire world to see their work can open doors of excitement and opportunity. Fabulous artists that don’t have the personal capacity or wear withal to travel the world and do exhibits can be seen. Being discovered can be as simple as learning to make your own Art Cards. Technology and ACEO’s have met at a happy point ushering in an ever-changing art world. <br />

Specifications<br />
<br />
1. 2.5 x 3.5inches, 64x89mm. This is the exact size required. No deviations can be accepted. <br />
<br />
2. Limited editions are more desirable but not required<br />
<br />
3. COA- Certificated of Authenticity is appreciated by the collector. You can use a stamp to print directly on the back of the card or hand write. If you hand make your card you will need one of these methods. If you print your cards you can create sheets of COA’s and print them out onto the back of your ATC sheet. Make sure you line them up correctly so the front matches the back. <a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=377890509" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2027/12639294/22541439/t-377890509.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a><br />

Printing<br />
<br />
1. You will need the program Adobe Elements. This is the easiest program I have found to size your image to the required specifications. Since it is not a standard size a printer’s manufacturer’s format will not offer this option.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. After you have sized it, save. Now open it in your standard Microsoft word program.<br />
<br />
Click on, add image. Copy it, and then click on paste until you have 3 rows of three. <a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=376676464" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2027/12639294/22644047/t-376676464.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a><a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=376676464" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2027/12639294/22644047/t-376676464.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a><a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=10&imgid=376676464" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL2027/12639294/22644047/t-376676464.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.picturetrail.com" /></a><br />

ARTIST’S STATEMENT –WHO ARE THE GLOBAL VILLAGE WOMEN? The Global Village Women promote random acts of kindness. The purpose is to show appreciation, which creates a chain reaction of active demonstration of more love and more kindness in the world. this results in revealing the hidden door to our positive nature. Our world is shifting back to a place where we acknowlege that we are “one”. Frequencies are rising. Automatically, many people are choosing to end dead-end relationships and surrounding themselves with other like-minded people. People are able to access what they call gifts or joy which is simply the natural process of consciousness. When one becomes more “awake” they can see this. More and more, people all over the world are experiencing incidences of oneness to the extent that the instances can no longer be considered coincidence. As the shift is happening, humans are experiencing a DNA upgrade. The activation sequence or bridge to ascension causes people to awake to what is real and help guide others to a new way of living, into a greater love. This is the difference between what you “know” and what you “believe possible”. Knowing is constant like consciousness. That which changes is not real. Beliefs can change, they are rooted in what might be possible but you are just not sure. Fear and love can not exist at the same time. These two words are opposite. One pushes the other out of a given space.<br />
<br />
For years and a lack of a better word, we have used the term, light-workers. These people are awakening rapidly to lead the way though there discovered personal skills, whether it is art, music, nursing, healing, humanitarianism, a mom kissing a child an extra time, a sister calling up a sister to say thank you, and the list goes on. More love in the world creates more peace. This passion to create selfless-service in ones life, will continue to grow. Gratitude is a parent to positive action. Do not worry about making a mistake because when coming from a place of true love there are no mistakes. Guaranteed, you will find the strength to speak the truth and the language of kindness.<br />
<br />
In the new world, strife and suffering which are man made will disappear, if it has not already done so in your world. Suffering, lack of abundance and resistance is a result off being off balance or out of the human natural flow of consciousness. One needs to catch yourself, immediately, turn to appreciation or what you are grateful for in your life so your vibration goes back to normal. As the vibration continues to lift more and more positive experiences will emerge for all. The Global Village Women use words and kind eyes to help the spark of inspiration for family love and a positive personal spiritual journey of love. Those that are activated will be more inclined to give, be kind, help and live in the grace of gratitude. Your can count on the Global Village Women to always have a kind word to say to one another. The sole creation of these women is for more people to come to a conscious place where they can take part in the positive side of the planetary vibrational shifts.<br />
<br />
How the Global Village Women Appeared in My Life<br />
I was in The Asheville Women’s Center of Hope, having a routine when a painting captured my curiosity. My nurse, Mary, noticed my passionate staring and said funny you should notice this piece. She began to tell me that the artist, Mrs. Causewell, was in her 80’s and had just been told she had cancer. “See the eyes, these are the eyes of a woman that has just been told she has breast cancer”. My body filled with goose bumps and my eyes welled up with an over whelming sense of grace and love. Mary continued, “She painted this piece and donated it to the center. Soon after she passed.” At that moment I heard and felt a message as profoundly loud as a message can be. It was clear to me that I was to continue painting the women in honor and spirit of all the Mrs. Causewell’s of the world; most importantly, with her blessing. The eyes were to evoke the passionate message of love and kindness to help usher us into oneness and a beautiful new world filled with love. I am sure of one thing, The Global Village Women are waiting for me to bring them forth out of the canvas so that they can share their message. They are to cross all cultures, ethnicities, and awareness. Their message is gentle and kind and they do make a difference. A percentage of the each print or giclee’ is to go into a fund that will be donate to support a Global Village Women’s efforts to make a difference. They can be a mother, daughter, sister, grandma, granddaughter, wife or friend. Global Village Women make a difference through one random act of kindness at a time.<br />

How the Global Village Women Appeared in My Life<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was in The Asheville Women’s Center of Hope, having a routine mammogram when a painting captured my curiosity. My nurse, Mary, noticed my passionate staring and said funny you should notice this piece. She began to tell me that the artist, Mrs. Causewell, was in her 80’s and had just been told she had cancer. “See the eyes, these are the eyes of a woman that has just been told she has breast cancer”. My body filled with goose bumps and my eyes welled up with an over whelming sense of grace and love. Mary continued, “She painted this piece and donated it to the center. Soon after she passed.” At that moment I heard and felt a message as profoundly loud as a message can be. It was clear to me that I was to continue painting the women in honor and spirit of all the Mrs. Causewell’s of the world; most importantly, with her blessing. The eyes were to evoke the passionate message of love and kindness to help usher us into oneness and a beautiful new world filled with love. I am sure of one thing, The Global Village Women are waiting for me to bring them forth out of the canvas so that they can share their message. <br />
<br />
They are to cross all cultures, ethnicities, and awareness. Their message is gentle and kind and they do make a difference.

Right now "the people" (for the lack of a better word) are actively doing their part lift consciousness globally. You can read about it by click on <a href="http://www.mypeacetv.com/">http://www.mypeacetv.com/</a> , and sites like it, to see all the smaller networks of groups working together. They are promoting kindness in the world, finding ways to share love, giving of themselves, with the thought of lifting the vibration for all. <a href="http://www.arrachme.com/">http://www.arrachme.com/</a> , that is what the global village women are all about.<br />

<div>Human evolution has brought us to a place where <strong>spirituality is all inclusive</strong>. It is important, however, to really get <strong>what this REALITY</strong> is before you can do spiritual work, otherwise, meditating, yoga, classes, religion wastes your time. It is like ...putting a pretty white pillow over a mud puddle. The mud just seeps through. Here is an analogy from the teachings of <strong>A. Ramana Maharshi</strong> that should clear it up for you.<br />
<br />
What if this life were a movie? You are the producer, director, writer and all the actors.<br />
If this were true you are writing the script, you are creating chapters or scenes that will help you clear the issues you have. The fight, the bad relationship, as well as the joyful experiences is a blessing. They are not be about you being wronged. You have planned those events to get farther in your spiritual growth. The reality is, that there is only one.<br />
See where all spiritual teachers are saying the same thing. <strong>The next blogs will explain more</strong> and also explain why you have a body. Don't waste this lifetime on nonsense.<br />

It was an organic process full of fun, joy; much to my astonishment. It was clear that something other than me was painting.<br /><br /> After successfully selling my art in many venues, I was given a gift by a friend. It was a review by an established local art gallery. It was 'the gallery' if you know what I mean. The reviewer was highly critical,” It is like pop art, naive art you know what I mean." No, I didn't know what she meant. My heart shriveled like a thirsty flower in the blazing sun. The shock lasted for months. Thoughts went through my head such as: I have no right to be successful. Why are people buying my art, maybe they shouldn’t. I shut down. All I could think was I have to go back to school and get a formal visual art education, before I sell my work.<br /><br />Soon after, while walking the eclectic sidewalks in Asheville, N.C., I was drawn into a gallery for emerging artists. Introductions took place. Next, I was placed in front of an incredible kind loving teacher, Vadim Bora. He was a world renown artist and sculptor. He proceeded to tell me that I had what it took as an artist. He volunteered to be my teacher. Graciously, I accepted the honor and was his student for the next few years. Before meeting him, I had pulled all my art out of the galleries that I was showing in. After all, until I learned how to paint professionally, I couldn't sell art, right? I painted over some of my earlier paintings because they stirred too much emotion, or so I thought. I had no idea that the reactions that stirred emotion were good, not bad. Like a sponge I proceeded to soak up as much as I could from my teacher.<br /><br />After awhile, I was ready to start painting on my own again but I had I hit a wall. I struggled for months feeling that my joy had left me. I questioned if that organic creativity would flow from me again. After meeting another famous artist at the dentist. An Asheville workshop opportunity emerged. It was a 'just be',Jonas Gerard workshop, meant to encourage the technique of freely painting from the heart. You have probably figured it out by now. The way I was painting naturally from inspiration, in the beginning, was exactly what the hot new workshops were teaching. You can pay as much as $3000 for a week end workshop available across the country that teaches you to just pick up a brush and just paint. I had a chuckle. When I gave myself permission to paint with no agenda, the joy returned. Paint and they will come! On my website, www.A<a href="http://www.arrachmeart.com/">rrachmeArt.com</a>, the first thing you will read is, “ I encourage and support everyone with a desire to pick up a paint brush, to do so. Vincent Van Gogh did not begin to paint until age 30. Self taught, no one's expectation or political fashion ruled his sole or defined his heart. Some call him crazy. I call him inspiring.” To the artist in you. Love, Arrachme.Arrachme Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02760156261522327655noreply@blogger.com0
