make my own tarot deck of cards

want to make my own cards

I am actually working on this right now. I have a lot of art I just need to organize and choose the images that I will use and put the cards together as a group. I hope to have this done by this summer, if not then at the very latest the end of the year.

If you are serious about doing this, it takes perserverance, and huge committment. We finally published our book and deck in 2001 after 5 years of a long hard road. After that, it doesn’t stop, you have to continue with trade shows, book signings, classes, and distributors, not to mention your own web-site and any expos you can squeeze in between.

It is challenging and charging at the same time, but well worth the effort if you are in it for the correct reasons!

Well i need to redesign these and i almost want to start over!

well there is no feeling about it idid! i have all the stuff somewhere and on day i’ll break it back out!

Well i have a book/ devination that i’m doing!
so in realitly i have this goal on here 3 times!
I guess i really want to do it!
well
we willsee!
Mad luv

Well with the english class i am going to take soon it would be in my best intrest to wait this out a while longer! however i cant wait to get this one done! :)

That’s the best word for how I feel about these cards and the entire book. I have drawn a few of the cards so far on 3×5 index cards with oil pastels. I haven’t drawn really since I was a little girl, especially not with oil pastels. They probably are from an art kid I had when I was 8. :) I have double backed the cards for appearance and strength and covered them in plastic. I also just finished sewing a bag for both the book and the cards once they are done so they are organized and protected. Yeah. I really want to read my cards and would keep working on drawing more but I have “real” work to do. I am glad that I have regained my craftiness.

I ordered these cards and book online but didn’t read the fine print and the cards weren’t included!! I was so pissed. I looked again and since the book is out of print the only way to get the cards is to pay about $75 for a brand new collector’s set. sigh. so i am going to make my own. The book has small black and white picutres of each one with a description. I feel like I make my own then I will have a deeper connection with the cards anyway. I actually haven’t ever really read my cards or had my cards read. Jumping in without really knowing where I am going but it looks like a great healing tool. We’ll see how this goes.

i worked a little on it the other day! then my computer deciede again not to work… i have it all on a disk so i may just take a copy to my sweeties house and work on it!
i worked with the layouts and once i finishe that i can work on the story end of the deal! or just my views more or less!
