I'm all over the place these days, I have 2 decks sort of underway if I could just focus on doing something with them! One is colored drawings of Celtic artifacts chosen and arranged to create Tarot images and the other one I've had an idea for for at least 12 years. Photographic, been slowly acquiring treasures to create the images. I'll post my progress here at some point, I've been meaning to do that! Edited January 29, 2020 by Perenelle

Raggydoll Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 Just a quick note : When you work at a larger scale, then do not forget that the safe area must be adjusted accordingly. 0,5 inch per side is the measurement for the finished card so if you work in double format then all the important details must be kept 1 inch from the sides.
Jewel Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) May I do the Explorer of Earth as my third card? The two novice drawings are complete and will be sent to my digital fix it friend but my drawings are complete. I have a really neat idea for this Explorer! 😊 (and I have learned about my margins! 😆) Edited January 30, 2020 by Jewel

Alchemist Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 @Raggydoll As real work ramps up, other things have to ramp down, unfortunately. Please remove me from The Devil so some other lucky artist can have a stab.

Squeaky Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Hi! I would LOVE to do the Devil, I'm shocked it hasn't been claimed yet. Edit: Aaaand, I just read the previous post. Divine timing? Edited February 3, 2020 by Squeaky Clarification

Guest Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 @Raggydoll, I've been having so much fun with The Sun, but sadly, I'm going to have to bow out. My right thumb was slammed in a door and the nail is coming out and has gotten infected, so even though I'm radiating the Sun energy into my thumb, my capacity to hold my paintbrush etc is really limited right now. 😪

You take good care of that infected thumb, it definitely needs some rest. I will remove you from that card. Hopefully there will be time later for you to join us and do something else!
Grandma Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 May I have the Five of Water for my second card, please?

Grandma Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 I believe I will finish with the Nine of Air. My trifecta of anguish is complete. I'd better discuss this with my therapist heehee. His mother read tarot so he really gets it!

I would much prefer to have those difficult cards depicted by someone who actually know first hand about the hardships of life, rather than someone who had to try and imagine it. So I am really looking forward to your vision for that card!

I would much prefer to have been someone who had to try and imagine it! But when life hands you lemons and so on. Although as my grandson likes to point out, unless life also hands you sugar, water and a container, there won't be much lemonade going on.

geoxena Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) @Raggydoll, I have a question. Are we associating Air with Swords and Fire with Wands? I always think of them as the opposite. I'm sure it's okay to just focus on the element's energy without depicting either swords or wands, or some clever substitution, but I just wanted to know which perspective is preferred, if any? (I'm thinking about my next card) Edited February 6, 2020 by geoxena
Wanderer Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Ooh, my last one... may I have the Nurturer of Air, please?

(I'm thinking about my next card) Yeah, it’s the common RWS correspondence that we had in mind and that’s what most people seem to instinctively have gone with. But we changed the title to make it more open. So there is no need for any suit symbols and you can depict your card in the way that resonate with you 🙂

I'm fine with either association, but wanted to know what people would expect and also to keep my contributions aligned with the rest of the deck. I'm still working on my Nurturer of Earth, but just getting ready for the next card.
