O, if only we had a swingometer - there's so much political voting going on here...! When will this end? When will we know? And Gregory is so right - you may draw all these things on your cards if it pleases you so to do...!
so it's gonna be a drawn-only deck this time? because you know - and i point this out in all randomness - there are lots of pictures and illustrations of cats out there which can be used in collage work.
Actually I find a blue line in all the cards a great idea! But just to be confusing: I voted for the cats. There are many cats decks out there - but each deck is drawn by the same person - even if he/she used different cats - still somewhat alike. Imagine 78 cats drawn/collage/etc by so many different people! Everyone expressing it in his/her own style! We would get really unique cats! I find it interesting and so much fun seeing everyone coming up with his/her idea of cat related to a particular card (and there still would be uniformity as cats would appear on all cards)

(where did my excited-cat icon disapear? (I added to the post but it does not show)

You sold me. I voted for the cats. Even though I don't know exactly how I will draw one as I am not an artist, I voted for them anyway.

Aw Pen... The result I liked was ducks, or actually *ducks*.
I really just want input, I don't want to make the final decision without people having a say in the matter.
I think the poll ends today.....or tomorrow maybe, Wed at the latest. But, if you like, I can creat another. How about a poll to see if we should have another poll?
I think all we need THERE is may we go landscape if we like ? I have two decks with SOME landscape cards (also one that's all landscape.... were we considering a landscape deck ???? I'm up for that....)

And what was the majority vote on Feb 4th? Was it cats? Was it blue lines? Was it suitcases?
It was none of these - it was no theme...

As the poll was not closed the preference changed since than. Until is still open of course is going to change every day, if people are still voting. I guess is going to end when we decide to end it - maybe it wood be useful to fix a date, anounce it (AND STICK TO IT regardless of the results...) That would involve closing the poll by the end of that day.
There are other important questions to think about beside the theme (if any).
There is a kind of art--the "do it quick doodle"--that some artists excel at. They have a sense of composition, line, color etc that serves them beautifully most of the time. (I think Aya Rosen, who did the Black Lilly deck, falls in that category. Robyn Hollister's Minute deck is like that, too.)
Sometimes people try to "do it quick doodle" with photoshop and other computer assistance. That doesn't always look so good.
I'd say it's not the hurry to COMPLETE that is the thing here - it is the hurry to end the endless questions and polls so we are free to take our sweet time doing the cards....
ETA - as in - I have some ideas, but can't even dibs on a card yet, never mind start photographing things..... This way we stand to be rushed during the CREATION process rather than the pre-dibs-discussion bits !!!!

A poll runs for however long the initiator tells it to. Last time people said they didn't get a chance to vote so I set this one up for a week, I think. Once it's up and running, you can't change it, and can't see how long it goes for. And my memory doesn't hold long enough to remember what the final date was.
How come this poll says it's the final, when the previous poll also said it was for the final vote?
I preferred the previous poll's result.
PLEASE, please someone else vote for something other than "cats" on this poll.
HURRY!!!!!
IMHO the world does not need another cat deck!!!

I certainly realize that I may well have just stepped on a few paws, and that I should really watch my back as I wander Cat-Tarot alley... (AGHHH! another ubiquitous cat!!!)

I voted for blue line, only because it was tied with cat. I hope I can vote even though I'm not signed up for a card?
(anything to save the group from a cat theme!)

Oh do a card, for heaven's sake !!!!! (and there only had to be a cat somewhere in the card - it wasn't to be a cat deck as such. Though I am on blue line, myself !)

Where is the information about signing up for a card? I'd like to see what is still available, and what the details are, but thank you for the invitation.

Last time there was no system. It was kind of "smash and grab," to use the words of, er, Gregory in fact.

As someone noted, it doesn't necessarily have to be a straight line. Still, I'm rooting for the cats. 
. Just changed it.. now.. someone else vote cats too!!!
I voted for them anyway.
