They are small ( 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch) miniature works of art which can be produced as an original or as very limited editions. They can be made using all techniques and materials like paint, collages, photographs, rubber stamp, assemblages, small found items, digital art, etc.

The only rule is the dimensions: 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
