I know you had to add water at the bottom and now the face and knives look too small - not your fault, I agreed, but looking at the card I'm feeling differently. I'd like to just enlarge and move the face and change the angle of the knives. If that's not a good idea, let me know. I'm so sorry because you worked very hard on this card... Grandma, I think the card looks great; the face and knives don't look small to me. They all fit within the safe area perfectly and the Medusa head is a good size to show the turbulent sea.

If you can do that work yourself and have it turned in on time then sure, go ahead. Otherwise I will use this one. If it was something quick, like a crop then I probably could have fixed it for you. But rearranging things in the image require that you have access to all the components and can work in layers, and it requires more time. So you would have to do that yourself. I don't want to burden anyone else with it either because I am going to need people to be available to fix the cards that are not done. We can't waste precious time on redoing things. (And they worked really hard on fixing this card in the first place. It was a big project). And it HAS to be sent in in the right format. We cannot have anyone try to fix the format for you again. I love you grandma but I have to draw the line there. I need my tech-savvy people available if there are any other cards that needs doing quickly.

Grandma Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Yes, I was going to do all the rearranging of components myself, and please don't think I don't appreciate all the work that was done on the card for me! If you guys like the way it looks, then I do too. As you know, tech-savvy will never describe me. I still have no idea why two of my cards needed very little tweaking, this one needed massive work, and the fourth I came up with a workaround myself. No need to try explaining it to me again, I still won't get it... And I love you too, my little rag doll granddaughter!
gregory Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Yes Grandma - it's fine as it is. You chill and think about Diamond ! This is the kind of reason my cards aren't posted. I have no intention of doing anything to them - they are done and forgotten. If they had been up here, someone would have said something and I'd suddenly have thought hey, um..... (Though I am lucky enough to be able to manage the tech requirements in my sleep !)
Grandma Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Thank you gregory! I did need constructive criticism in the Work in Progress thread though, and it was much appreciated. I truly could not have done it on my own and I admire those like you who can!
gregory Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 The thing about that card is - well, I will PM you.
joy Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 This deck is going to be so exciting!!! Thanks @Raggydoll for more previews!!! <3

Raggydoll Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 Just wanted to let everyone know that these next days I will be pretty busy with real life stuff and the time I can sit on my pc will be limited. I can check in on my phone but it might take me longer to respond to emails and it also means that I won’t have time to help anyone solve their tech issues. But if you left it this late then I think it’s only fair that you will be the one who deals with it 🙂. I am putting aside extra time on Friday to go over everything and check which cards need reassigning. If a card has been sent in and is not useable due to whatever issues, it will be reassigned. I will not continue to message back and forth to try and fix things after the deadline. So double check all the specifications carefully and do not forget your write up! I need that write up on time too! I know I’ve said this many times but I’ll say it again, the deadline is final. A huge thanks to everyone who have participated and sent us your amazing contributions! When I look through the images and read your texts I am so PROUD!!! This deck far exceeds all my expectations and I want to thank you all - from the bottom of my heart for helping us make this deck what it is. Without all of you it would not exist!
gregory Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 YOU are the one who deserves this; Many many thanks. If you have any brain left, I bet you don't ever do this again.

Fantastic job, @Raggydoll!! I know how much work this takes with just ONE person to hound (myself), so I honestly cannot imagine how you're doing this. And look at that - you're still showering love. Thank you so much. The images I've seen assembled together look amazing. Can't wait to order my very own!!

I'm a complete astrophile, I just love having the fixed constellations there as symbol for the height of each season, the four directions, temperaments, human faculties etc. Fellow astrophile, high five! 🤩✋
joy Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Absolutely amazing @Raggydoll I can only chime in with everybody here, you are a star! And on top of organizing/making sure/checking etc your own deck is coming along fast and furiously gorgeous!!!

Raggydoll Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 We are at the final day, and since we are going by my clock (and I am Swedish) that means that as of right now, we have 11 more hours to go. I consider the deadline as over on midnight my time. So it will be exciting to see where we land when I do the final check! I plan on being by the computer tonight when my kids are in bed!
