Forgive me if I am starting a thread out of turn, but I just wanted to say what a honor it is to be a member of this group and to be part of the TCF Collaborative Deck since it's inception since 2008.
First and formost - SKAD1:
Sherry, You are our Hestia - goddess of the hearth - the true keeper of our creative flame - you are our center and the electricity which powers the outlets of our creative spirits. You have worked so hard on these decks...thank you so, so much.
Second,
An unknown person once said...Evolution of the art reflects the evolution of the person. After dramatic developments in the artist's life, the art will reflect the changes...
As I flipped thru our deck tonight it truly spoke to me in this sense because it allowed me to realize this project for the last three years has been the sole vehicle for my inner most artistic expression...something so deep within me it may never have found it's way to the surface if not for these decks. Looking at my work in this deck compared to 2009 and 2008, I realized evolution and changes about myself and the world around me which were not apparent until now....
And,
Isn't it exciting and interesting how we have evolved as a group? Tarot of the Blue line...I didn't really get it until I held the deck in my hand. It really is a testament to the evolution of our art...or should I say our "progression".
This is something so special...something we will never find on a Facebook or a Myspace...something that is exclusive while open, challenging while so easy, unique but with a common theme...something we can truly hand down and say "I was part of this!" Not just a network of the minds, but a connection of spirits.
The deck is beautiful and a treasure to hold...I love it!
Bright Blessings,
Ambriel
P.S: If we do a 2011 deck, I volunteer to make tarot bags for our decks. :)

Well said, Ambriel, and we mustn't forget Ly and his work in adding the borders and getting the images ready to print. All these things take so much more time than I think most people imagine.
My deck hasn't arrived yet, but I'm really looking forward to seeing how it feels as a completed project and how the Blue Line works.
And hand-made bags next year?! That's a wonderfully generous offer! I do so hope we can carry on with these annual group tarots.

Yes, kudos to Skad for her exemplary organizing skills. I'd also like to apologize for the misprint on the devil card.
I'd like to think we've matured more as a group. At least I did from this experience. :)
Thanks to all who participated!

...that's what I get for getting behind on my thread reading.
