#tarot deck progress

Man, The Moon gave me a lot of trouble. The inspiration just wouldn't come. But now it's ready!

I'd love to perhaps make a video on the cards once they're printed, explaining my reasoning when designing each card and showing how they shine, something that cannot quite be captured in photos.

But gosh, I am enjoying this journey so much. Having a self-made deck is probably my best decision. I am bonding with it even now, when I create it. I don't have to replace any other energy with mine, because it's already made up of my energy and potentially that of whatever spirits and/or deities who may have pushed my inspiration. And ultimately, instead of having to learn a language of cards, it will hopefully speak something between that language and my own, since I have consciously put the colors and symbols where I felt they belonged.

sometimes you only finish one card in the span of three weeks what about it?

It has been almost a solid year since I worked on this deck because grad school absolutely curbstomped me, so fittingly, I start anew with the Fool.

been neglecting homework a bit, but I did three cards this week so at least I’ve got that going for me!

we got ourselves gay ants (left) and a pickle of a problem (right)

almost half way there! still trying to get back up to regular work on this deck

really proud of how these two turned out

progress! two whole cards in a week (technically 8 days but like the tens are a pain to draw so let me live)
