Does anyone here make and/or collect ACEO cards?

Some of us in Torn World are discussing the possibility of making ACEO cards.  These are little art tidbits for trading or selling, often used as perks.

Is anyone here actively involved in the ACEO movement right now, to answer questions about what the people who are already doing them value?  If we do this, we want to do it in a way the community (or communities) already using them will find respectful.

I have previously toyed with the idea of doing some ACEO cards with my poetry, so I'm intrigued by this.

I've bought and made a few. The ones I've gotten have been watercolor and/or scrapbooking type.

From what I understand, anything that can be attached to the card is acceptable. This means that charms, cardboard cutouts, and various bits of fibreart is sometimes included.

typing in "aceo" at Amazon currently pulls up a few books, but I haven't kept up in the community part of it all. I just use the little size to experiment with things, mostly.

That sounds useful to know.

I was thinking it might be interesting to team up, if you like the idea of rendering some of my short poetry in calligraphy.
