GreyBug Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 Thought I'd share some of my deck creations (sorry if this is the wrong place, I saw three possibilities and decided as physical art objects I don't intend to sell or mass-produce they could probably fit here?) This is the first one I did, around this time last year. I call it the Candyfloss Keys - a majors only experiment in mixed media. I pulled out some of my Marseille decks for inspiration (mostly Soprafino and whatever the Piatnik Marseille deck is doing). I hadn't yet figured what a good way of protecting the surfaces would be. I used clear contact paper at first but after a little while it just came off because of the rough texture of the gesso. Since then I bought a few packs of plastic protective sleeves, except these cards are too tall to fit exactly. (I still used them, they cover around 75% of each card, works for me). I made my later decks to fit inside the sleeves, even though they're not my favorite proportions. They've been really fun to use, maybe I'll whip them out for an exchange reading or two once they're available to me Definitely encourage everyone to give making their own little deck a shot. It was especially approachable knowing a) I can just do 22 instead of 78, and b) I can work directly off a classic deck/make a clone, instead of having to come up with everything from scratch.
Rose Lalonde Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 These are great! 🤩 Thanks for sharing your art.
Moon-Hermit Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 These are, without a doubt, the cutest Marseille majors that I’ve EVER seen~ 🩷
DanielJUK Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 I've moved this to the deck creation area where it will fit better 🙂
Raggydoll Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Love these! Such a fun and inspiring project!
GreyBug Posted November 20, 2024 Author Posted November 20, 2024 Thank you everyone, I definitely had fun with it. And @Moon-Hermit - what a compliment! I shall cherish that, it will symbolically live with the cards in their box.
