How d'you get the images into the "reply" panel? I tried to upload one but it holds it as an attachment; doesn't show it. Thanks! Absinthe. |

You need to keep the size down. pixresizer (free) is good at that. |

Good afternoon, Gregory, No, it's ok about size. I saved it in a low jpg quality. It's only 88kb. The browse warned me it had to be below 500kb. The post holds is as an attachment. Perhaps that's what's meant to happen. No doubt the answer will be apparent when another contributor loads in a picture. :) |

It'll take a pdf, zip, etc, but won't show them. each will need to be downloaded by anyone who wants to see them. the best thing is to use a jpg, even if you need to convert it from another type. Just 'browse', select your file, verify that it came into the attachment ok, then 'post reply' |

Ok then..... SUN Photomontage based on a gouache. I can remove the caption and move the symbols down if necessary. The file is about 300k, resolution 300pix/inch. Please feel free to reject it if you find something more appropriate. Cheers, Absinthe. Attached Image (viewed 264 times): Last edited on Mon Jun 2nd, 2014 05:06 pm by Absinthe |

What do you think? The pattern is 'sandstone', remember this is low res. Attached Image (viewed 247 times): Last edited on Sat Jun 14th, 2014 04:56 am by skad1 |

A very nice Hermit there, Gregory. It rings well with me, looking at the hermit as the one who comes out to reveal to those who want to see. |

I was very happy to get the Lovers this year because my darling Jorge and I were married on November 1, 2014. We've been together 5 years this past April.... ...marriage is bliss.Attached Image (viewed 226 times): |

Here's yet another one with much orange light in it: The Tower. The photo shows the holocaust memorial in Berlin with the posh new hotels, offices and shopping centers at Potsdamer Platz in the background. Meaning: About the destructiveness of pride. All our wealth and confidence is built upon the victim's graves from previous wars, starvations and even genocides, with Germany and the Shoah only being the most prominent example. Hope you like it.

Priestess. Colours/contrast can be varied if it clashes with surrounding cards - just say. I'd appreciate if anyone would say which they like best. Thanks! = = = = I'm having real trouble getting the pic smaller like the others. Keep resizing it but it stays the same size here. Let's try again. Edit: Seems it worked this time!

The Moon For me The Moon is about exchange between dream and awareness, reality and imagination, past and future. It is like viewing earth from the moon. My “towers” are two versions of the St Michael’s Church of Hamburg, which is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, who’s bronze statue is standing above the portal of the church conquering the devil. While dreaming, there is no linear time, past events exists side by side with present and thus the 1750 destroyed version of the church exists side by side with the present one. My dog takes guarding the towers seriously, so the crayfish got no chance. Attached Image (viewed 186 times): Last edited on Sun Jul 13th, 2014 01:21 pm by Eno |

I love all the new cards. The magician is just perfect, Kimberly! Great choice. MrLaLuna, Temperance is wonderful. Even if it cost you a lot of trouble to make it. It has a really tranquil feel. And Eno, the Moon is also great. I really like how this deck is turning out Last edited on Mon Jul 14th, 2014 11:21 pm by truelighth |

OK, here is the lo-res version of the Star, first draft. The final version may not be so vertically distorted. I'm still fooling with it. **Oops, wrong one. Here is the right one Attached Image (viewed 154 times): Last edited on Fri Jul 18th, 2014 06:02 am by Marcia959 |

I just realized I posted my cards in the wrong thread  So ok, here again, in the right one: Wheel of Fortune Description: For the Wheel I choose the image of the May Pole. Although the May celebration is not the only one in the Wheel of the Year,the May Pole itself is a clear reference to the Wheel. The ribbons around the pole represent each of us, woven together into the fabric of life. The 4 coloured ribbons on the card represent both the seasons and the elements (blue: winter/water, green: spring/earth, yellow: summer/air, red: autumn/fire). Attached Image (viewed 152 times): |

The second card: Justice Description: For Justice I choose an image of Ancient Egypt where the heart is weighted on a scale against the feather of Maät. Maät is the Goddess of harmony and order. She connects directly to the reality of the world and justice in general. In Egyptian lore, the heart of the deceased is weighted in order to pass over to eternal life. However, instead of making up the balance after death, it is more important to do so in our daily lives and look at our own heart when dealing with both the big and mundane issues.

Thank you! I'm attaching a proposed Hierophant card since no one has claimed it. June 9, 2014, The Professor (Bob Carlson) died unexpectedly of previously undiagnosed lung cancer. He was an excellent Tarot reader, but more than that he was a teacher of earth and environmental sciences, especially hazardous materials handling and disposal. The Hierophant sees the world and the world beyond, so his view is sometimes fragmented in our eyes; he cannot be dismissed because he sees beyond and tries to teach others whose vision may seem clearer but is incomplete.

Hope I'm doing this right. As usual - here I am bringing up the rear. Do I send the description separately? This is the Devil Card - illustrated by the devlish of all -- the credit card:) Attached Image (viewed 129 times): |

BTW - When I made this card, I just googled "corporate Satan" and this was one of the images that came up. Now that I posted it and made it real small - I thought it possibly resembled one of the many parodies of Obama -- if so - I promise the large picture does not --- and if it had - I would never have used it! And if I could have traced the picture I would have given the "artist" the credit. Before the deck gets published - I hope to. |

So, I got some free time finally, and am very happy with my first experiment in a new style for me, as an homage to one of my favorite artists (link to the blog post for a little more, and who I'm referencing). ...Also, a (not entirely) shameless plug for my other tarot project, which is how I got involved in this one.

The chariot card looks nice. Are the figures from a sculpture? The Hanged Man and Strength images look good too. Strength's reminds me of the scratchboard art on the covers of Gregory Maguire books. |

An email just went out with the costs for the deck and shipping. If you have any questions or didn't get the email, let me know. there will be a very limited number of extra decks available at the same cost, first people to request extra deck, get it. I forgot to say that if you DON'T want a deck, let me know and I can release it to someone else. Last edited on Thu Aug 28th, 2014 10:39 pm by skad1 |

with the 2014 deck only 24 cards, I think 2 would fit in an envelope, so if you put down a box and want to switch to the cheaper envelope, let me know and I'll switch. Also let me know if you don't want a deck. Attached Image (viewed 33 times): |
