I am a dolt

[joflasher]

Finished my very first ACEO. Dutifully scanned it in and readied everything to ebay it today. This morning, copied it over onto disk, stuck the disk in my back pack and headed in to work. Lunch time, take disk out of backpack, stick it in my computer and find ... java files. A disk full of old code. *sigh*

Ah, well, ACEO tomorrow. And just for the record, how *DOES* Meredith Dillman get all that detail into something that is only 2.5" x 3.5" ? I have tiny, tiny, little brushes and I STILL couldn't get as detailed as I wanted. I just couldn't do it. Do I need to paint with a magnifying glass or something? Frustrating, I tell you.

...I'm kinda picking it up from context, but what exactly is an ACEO?
*curious*

Art Card - Editions & Originals ... little 2.5 x 3.5 inch cards of original art. People collect them like baseball cards, hence the size. Try searching ACEO on ebay and you'll find scads of them.

Ooooooh... that's even more interesting than what was going through my head...

No magnifying lense:) Just a size 1 or 0 brush for details.
