Here are some examples from Google

Fabric and Lace ACEO

I've had some Buckinghamshire  hand-made pillow lace for ages

but felt guilty about cutting it up

but finally decided to use this beautiful vintage lace

and I even aged it!!

So here it is (stitched under the crochet piece)

Nature Study ACEO

Walnut Crystals

I've tried this and it works really well

Mix some walnut crystals into half a pint of warm water

(decide how much according to the colour you like)

Add half teaspoon gum arabic powder

and half teaspoon of Pearlex (antique gold gives aged look)

put all into fine spray bottle

you can use this on paper and/or fabric

Have fun!

Vintage Inspired Fabric Art

My sewing machine has had an MOT

my goodness how expensive that was

but now sewing has become a pleasure again

Here are some ACEOs I made

Mystele's Journal Page

ATCs

These are my Mona Lisa ATCs

for the swap

Little gift idea

Sometimes you're looking to make a gift

something small and not too expensive

This might just be the perfect thing
