Today's Fine Art Daily is a little craft, to help you out of a jam in case you forget a co-worker's birthday, or it can be an activity for the snowbound in the gelid North. This is an ACEO card - Art Cards, Editions and Originals. It is a standard trading card size - think grown up baseball cards without that yummy pink, powdery cardboard gum. People exchange, trade, sell and collect these cards which must be 2½ inches by 3½ inches. That's the only rule. So print a few of these and keep them in your top desk drawer for that day when you find out it's the birthday of the charming designer three cubicles down from you, and you haven't got time to run to CVS let alone a Papyrus card shop. You might even start a trend!
