RavenOfSummer Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Looks like quite a lot of work is happening by Avalon Cameron and Ana Tourian on this deck! Just sharing some images here that were posted on Facebook. Avalon said a second round of pre-orders is going to be launched via her Etsy store on Nov 1 Australia time. It's pricey with shipping though [emoji15]I think something like $60 before shipping and $90 after, to the US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nanook Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I pre-ordered it, even though it is expensive. It’s gorgeous!
OutoftheAshes Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I've been following the creation of this deck and it is gorgeous! Unfortunately, out of my price range, but an amazing looking deck!
RavenOfSummer Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 I pre-ordered it, even though it is expensive. It’s gorgeous! It is absolutely stunning! And I love the unique ideas behind some of the card depictions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
RavenOfSummer Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 Wow. Linky ? There's not an official site for the deck, but the co-creator's Etsy shop is here : https://www.etsy.com/shop/AvalonCameron. That's where the Nov 1 pre-sale will be available. There's also a Facebook group where you can follow deck progress. I'm having trouble finding the link right now on my phone but will post it when I'm back on my computer.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk i know... i LOVE Ana Tourian's art...i have 2 of her decks; And this tarot deck really speaks to me, but it is so pricey with the shipping for me, too... i am not sure what to do... i can't help but wish that Ana would eventually have some available to pre-order or purchase from HER Etsy shop, also... ETA: Is it really true that this deck isn't even scheduled for release until December 2018???? i am not pre-ordering something that far in advance...

Not sure if/when they'll have a page or site for the deck somewhere. But definitely that Etsy link is where the pre-orders will be on the 1st...although I think in North America it will be the 31st due to the time difference.
RavenOfSummer Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 For anyone who is interested in purchasing this deck, the pre-order is now LIVE. It's available on creator Avalon Cameron's Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/listing/541885143/pre-order-bonestone-earthflesh-tarot. The deck cost is AUD 80, which apparently comes to about USD 64, + about USD 30 shipping, so in the US about $90 total. The deck itself will not be shipped until December 2018.
MoonGypsy Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 ...and it still won't be available until December 2018, RavenofSummer??? :o That is just too far in advance for me to feel comfortable spending that kind of $... The deck is really great, though... as i mentioned earlier--i love Ana Tourian's art.

The deck is really great, though... as i mentioned earlier--i love Ana Tourian's art. Yeah :-/ Avalon did reiterate that in a Facebook post. She said they want to take their time with creation and production of the deck and they don't anticipate being able to do it faster than that and come out with the quality they want. I think the reason they're doing pre-orders so early is that it's funding some of their upfront costs of printing, packaging etc. But I know what you mean- it is awfully long in advance to purchase a deck, given it won't be available for over a year. What I'm not clear on is whether they're actually selling MOST copies of the deck through the pre-orders, or whether there will be a significant amount available for purchase at the actual on-sale. I know some creators mostly sell out their decks through pre-sale or Kickstarter campaigns. I'm hoping there will be plenty available for anyone who wants one once the deck has actually been produced. Also not sure whether the deck might be more expensive if not purchased during pre-order? I'm kind of hoping that the deck gets picked up by a publisher at some point and reaches a wider audience, but I probably shouldn't hold my breath over that. Also MG, I did check with Ana Tourian following your suggestion, and unfortunately she said she will not at any point being selling the deck through her own US-based Etsy shop. In her words, "the deck is Avalon's baby, I'm just doing the art." In related news, Ana mentioned that she's been focused on this deck with Avalon, but that next year she'll get back to work on her Abyss Tarot.
MoonGypsy Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Raven, thanks so much for all the info! i only just saw your last post. If Avalon happens to still be taking Pre-orders closer to production time, i will order then. i know the deck looks to be a "Must Have" for me...but i just can't bring myself to pre-order more than a year before the ETA. xox
Mab Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 much as I love this amazing deck, I don't think I can pre order this far in advance... like others, I will just have to take my chance with the regular sale. No signs of my most wanted decks list reducing, quite the reverse! ::)
VGimlet Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Wow, this one is going on the list for sure. Not sure if I'm going to have the money to pre-order, but we'll see. I have a couple of other decks on the to-be-ordered list that come first.
RavenOfSummer Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 I was just thinking about this deck again today...curious if anyone has pre-ordered it? I haven't but it looks like pre-orders are still available, which is quite tempting...https://www.etsy.com/listing/541885143/pre-order-bonestone-earthflesh-tarot?ref=search_recently_viewed-3 What I'm really hoping for though, is that this deck will come out in a much cheaper, mass market version!
Flaxen Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 I've pre-ordered it. I felt unsure as it was so far in advance - over a year when I ordered. I've been following its progress on Facebook and like what I see very much. It's also not so long now - if you feel comfortable ordering now, I would go for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
MoonGypsy Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 i absolutely LOVE Ana Tourian's artwork and this is sure to be a very powerfully magical deck.The artwork is soooo my taste. ]i have 2 of her other decks] i haven't been able to pre-order it, yet...but it is staying on my radar and do plan on pre-ordering it eventually.

Annabelle Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Wow -- this deck looks stunning so far. I love the artist's style. I can't bring myself to preorder this far ahead, though; I'd rather wait until it's closer to the production date.
Whisper Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Find it really lovely, but might wait a little, too. Pre-ordered the True Black for delivery in December and a little nervous about that one actually getting to me. ;D
gregory Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 What REALLY annoys me is that Etsy keeps asking me for a REVIEW of this deck.... (I did preorder.)
RavenOfSummer Posted March 27, 2018 Author Posted March 27, 2018 What REALLY annoys me is that Etsy keeps asking me for a REVIEW of this deck.... (I did preorder.) Haha, I had that happen when I ordered bulk Mason jar candles as favors for our wedding, with the agreement that we'd get them in six months. Same thing. Can't review, Etsy! Ana Tourian's artwork truly is stunning. I'm also waiting for her Abyss Tarot- click on the "Major Arcana" and "Minor Arcana" tabs to see the cards; only the Cups are done so far of the minors. I think she's going to refocus on it later this year when the Bonestone cards are done, which I believe they're getting close to.
