Want to Participate?

If you are a fellow animal lover, rescue and/or artist we need you.   Here’s how you can help….

What I am proposing to do is ask if you are an artist take a face that has motivated you to take action for your cause and create a piece of artwork of it. I is to be in the form of ACEO, Art Card (2.5” x 3.5”) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards . Either limited edition  prints or originals are fine.  Please put your contact info. the card. It also needs to have a 501 (c) rescue you wish to promote. The artwork is to be on one side and the rescue info will be on the other. I also ask you add http://www.saveaface.wordpress.com on the card so this project will continue to build and promote all involved. The ACEO or Artist Trading Cards often collected, traded and passed around. They are like a mini piece of art/ business card the size of a standard playing card.  They often sell well on e-bay, are easy to ship and easy to duplicate so you can sell larger numbers of them.  If you need the nuts and bolts info on materials to use please go to the link on this page ‘How to make an ACEO’.   The idea is to make something colorful, collectable and memorable so people buy, trade and show these cards as a way to promote the rescues.    

If you are a rescue or a cause please send me your information, along with contact info. and web sites, links etc. and a clear digital photo of a face that is meaningful to your cause to be shared with an artist who wants to create artwork of your animal’s face.  There would be room on the back of the card for a some info. on the rescue. 

I will post this Save A Face web site along with a link to your web site with each completed card. People are encouraged to give and help.

The ACEOs or Art Trading Cards are to be auctioned off on e-bay with 75% percentage going to the rescue. (Must be a registered not-for profit rescue to take part). E-bay makes this easy by sending the money collected directly to the charity. This way I am not involved in handling anyone else’s money. The 25% left over will cover e-bay costs and shipping. As the rescue or artist please link to the e-bay site and the web site.  As more cards are completed we can make up sets, collections.  

If you are an animal lover than your job is to help spread the word aabout this project or share photos of an animal’s face that has inpacted you.  When the art goes on e-bay helping share links will be much appreciated or bidding on the cards.  The artwork is small and affordable so should be within people’s reach with the added bonus of encouraging them to buy more to collect and also to promote.
