To be honest I can't stand it.
I'm going to try something else, if I have the time.
The idea is sound. I was going for a combination of the RWS card and the Thoth meaning.
Some of them plants are dying, he can do something about it, or not, it's up to him.
I just can't stand how it looks.
Ah well.

Oh my god...
Skad, I'm sorry. I've only just seen what I'd done. I thought I was replying to JD's post.

and when I said I couldn't stand it I was talking about my card...
I must have clicked the wrong reply button.
I'm so embarrassed. And I really liked your dogs, especially the page.
Now everyone can laugh and point at me because I'm an idiot...

Naw, that's not what I thought. I am used to replies jumping other entries, and I usually cross my eyes and try to figure it out, and if it doesn't make sense...shrug my shoulders and go on. I assume it makes sense to someone.

It's so much more fun to do it on purpose. 
ACE cards, Lillie. I really MUST find that pic I want to use for my Wands card...

I actually thought all along that you were talking about your own card. But to be honest, I don't agree with you. I think your 7 pentacles is just fine!

My account is already set to send me emails, and I seem to get most of them. I never check spam though, so perhaps that's it.

Hello and welcome! You know with a name like Laminate1, I'm sure you could come up with something, but I think all the cards are spoken for this year. Next year perhaps?

What a wonderfully strange effect the Hermit card has - cover the top part and the deep blue is an infinity of night sky, reveal the top and it becomes a fathomless sky-pool...
Do please have another...

Quarkling, we'd love to have more of your work in this deck! Your Hermit shows the enormity of the task of the inner search, that it is not to be skipped over lightly.

Wow, these cards all look fantastic!  I have been thinking about whether to go w/ a CG approach or to TRY some hand-drawing or possibly collage effects...so many decisions to make. Heck, I may do all three, since I've got three cards to do. Or...hmmm.... possibly all three styles on EACH card??...no, probably not a good idea.
No worries, though; the title card will hopefully retain some class and sophistication...

Hi, remember when you post, you also need to send me the high resolution versions of your cards. And don't forget to do your LWB entries. You don't have the be poet laureate; just tell us about yourself and your cards. If you have a reason your image meant that card to you, that's a good way to describe it. So exciting to see the cards getting posted.
I'll be putting up The List of what I have from whom sometime next week, so hear the clarion call, gang! Post those pictures, send me the hi res, put in your LWB section and head towards Fulfillment.
Or gregory will come and get you. You know she will, too.

Marcia -
I already posted the card definitions, and my bio. I wasn't aware that we needed to send you the images too, so I will do that right now. I don't know about high res - I will send you what I have.
Blessings,
Bonnie

They need to be at LEAST 300 dpi and ideally 4 inches by 6.

The images are, I believe, at least 300 dpi. I had the images done in the smaller format, because that is what I thought was wanted. I will send what I have.

It's low resolution to show us the cards here. But it's high resolution (4"x6" with at least 300 dpi) to send to me for the actual deck.
The difference is that the website can handle only tiny pictures. But for the deck itself we need the larger high resolution versions so we can get that crisp detail of your design in print.
Thanks!

Gregory -
I have to apologise profusely! I am unable to scale the pics I am using to the right format. This was not a project that I should have chosen to become involved in, as I have no artistic skills, and minimal technical skills. I was originally going to do collage, but that didn't work for me either.
I would appreciate it if you would reassign my cards (High Priestess, Ten of Swords and Ten of Pentacles) to another person.
Blessings,
Bonnie

Oh no, Bonnie, please don't give up, for a very few bucks any decent-sized copy shop--the standard chains and probably the local guys too--can scan them for you at the right resolution, put it on a thumbdrive and/or e-mail it to you!

I agree! The cats must stay  .
Maybe this is an idea. Crystalgate, you said you used photographs. Maybe you can have the original photographs scanned at a copyshop or a photographer for the right resolution and size. I did the same with a picture that I had and liked and had no negative of. It should work fine.
