I think it would be a shame if there wasn't a 2014 version of the TCF tarot decks. But I don't feel like dealing with a full 78, so I am proposing a 24 card deck. Including a title card and a Happy squirrel. If you decide to take a card, let me know your regular email (if I don't have it already). it's alot easier to communicate thru email. Rules, one card per person. But you can have another card as soon as the first is turned in. To avoid the hassles at the end, the end will come very quickly. Deadline is July 15th. So plan on doing your card right away. (that way you won't forget!) Everything else the same as other years. Card size is 3.5 inches by 5.0 inches, with a design size of 2.5 inches x 3.75 inches. Just do image; card title and number are done on the frame. Always check the posts for the latest. I will probably only update the listings once a week Attached Image (viewed 54 times): Last edited on Sat Aug 23rd, 2014 04:09 pm by skad1 |

Card size and ratio. (Same as last year.) This diagram is the actual card size and dimensions. The dashed area is the border which will be done by someone else, your design area is 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches. To make the final design look as good as possible, it is always recommended to work at a larger scale. Then when the final design is scaled down at the end, it minimizes any little imperfections. It just looks better. The second diagram is the the card sized up twice size, just to give you good working dimensions. You can work any scale you want, as long as the final ratio is 1:1.5. In other words, 1 inch in the horizontal equals 1 1/2 inch in the vertical. All dimensions are in inches Attached Image (viewed 352 times): |

Oh dear. Well, I'll have a try...put me in for the High Priestess then. But.....I'm no Rubens and don't have a Helena Fourment on tap, so it'll have to be someone less. My effort would need scrutiny.... How many pixels to the inch? Last edited on Sat May 31st, 2014 06:38 pm by Absinthe |

I can have a try with the SUN XIX. (Edit: in fact what I'd like to offer is as good as done, looking at it. Just need to resize.) It will not have the kiddies on it though. I see this card about life and light, fun and flair. Last edited on Sat May 31st, 2014 07:35 pm by Absinthe |

My effort would need scrutiny.... pixels per inch depends on the resolution. We recommend at least 300 dpi which is 300 pixels per inch. There will be a separate folder to post your card in and get comments. We learned in past years it was too confusing to try post it all in one thread. Most of us are not professional artists. Some are (and darn good, too), but most of us just have asperations or really like tarot. Last edited on Sun Jun 1st, 2014 11:02 am by skad1 |

Great. 300 pixels/inch. I'll put the card up later this evening. And thanks for putting me down for the Sun. My Hired Priestess is in rather muted colours, less happy with it. I'm FAR from an artist but I'll have a go. Feel free to reject it. I'm not easily offended!! Thanks. Last edited on Sun Jun 1st, 2014 03:02 pm by Absinthe |

Eeup. Are you desperate yet ? I just happened to come across a PERFECT photo I took, for Strength (I was looking for something else at the time - I can't think how I missed it !) but if you want me to take Strength I will... Last edited on Wed Jul 9th, 2014 05:20 pm by gregory |

Since the deadline is so close, is it possible to adopt a second card yet? If so, I will adopt Justice as well. I already have one ready. And the Wheel is almost done. |

A late Title Card submission (for some reason I thought the deadline was on the 20th). Hopefully reminiscent of now-defunct logos found in the opening credits of old black-and-white films. Attached Image (viewed 146 times): |

Two cards missing, Morwenna and spiralingcadaver two cards need a higher resolution; acucent and wvzookeeper No card description from Kimber, Mowenna, MicheleJ2, gregory, ambriel, mr la-luna See the list on the first post for details. but other than that.......

Spiralingcadaver's card is shown on the cards thread; I will poke him for the hi-res etc, and you have mine, too. I CERTAINLY sent you my bio a few days ago; I will do a chariot description momentarily.... I am a little worried about morwenna as I had emailed her about something completely else and got no response. I will ask a friend of hers if she's OK. |

I'll be picking up the decks later today, and hopefully get them shipped Friday. (more later) I have four decks from people who didn't let me know if they wanted a deck or not. thanks to spiralingcadaver who let me know that he didn't want a deck (but someone else did!) If you want another deck let me know before I ship and I can toss it in your envelope/box. Thanks to everyone for your effort to make this another wonderful deck. As always I am amazed at the creativity we as a group come up with. It's another great tarot deck! Attached Image (viewed 82 times): Last edited on Thu Sep 11th, 2014 11:42 am by skad1 |

AND THEY'RE OFF...>>>>>>>>>> All paid decks are mailed. I may have made mistakes this year so check that you received the right number of decks. I'm 2 decks short, so I think acouple people got an extra deck, luckily acouple people said they didn't want a deck, so I would have had acouple extra. I my have also sent acouple in boxes that should have been in envelopes. oh well... BUT YOU SHOULD BE RECEIVING THE DECKS SOON! Let me know if there are any problems, or the decks got to you in bad shape or anything like that. or if you paid for 2 decks and got one.  Last edited on Sat Sep 13th, 2014 06:28 pm by skad1 |

The deck is wonderful. I can't get over the Magician and the Devil. Excellent. I plan to send Guido at the Tarot Museum a copy, as I did last year. Wish I had done that all along so there would be a complete set of our decks in his collection. You'll please forgive me for forgetting to do my narrative...it's been kind of a rough year.  |
