The first group of decks were shipped today.
Unfortunately, the costs that I got from the Post Office online calculator, were wrong! Sheesh, wouldn't cha know!
So see the sheet for the new updated costs, the Priority Mail box stayed the same, but the envelope costs were pretty far off, especially International. I thought they were going to be $11.40USD, but the shipping cost was actually $14.90USD. Which I guess is still cheaper than the 23.95 the box costs, but still 3.50 more than I thought.
2 decks need to go in box, they will not fit in the envelope!

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

Wan't we 2013 do a full deck or a majors only again?
Can I have the Tower ?
(and in case of a full deck, i would like to do one of the queens)

I would like it if we could try for a full deck. See if maybe we can get enough people this year.

I think not if it is just a couple of dozen of us trying though....

If we try a full deck with not so many people, I could do the Tower and all four Queens...

I suppose that would be one way. One major and one - complete block of minors ?
ETA I just don't feel like a random load of minors. I could take the 5s, if we go that route....?
Decide fast; I picked them because I feel decidedly low and they sort of FIT just now
--------------------------------------------------------------------

If we should take that route (which I think is a good idea), I could do the 3's, unless anybody else wants them...

Have we decided on a major and a "number" set then ? It would work - and there would be 8 majors on their own for people who - couldn't face it.... Not that we got enough to do one each last time !!!!

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.

Ok, I have decided on my cards. I would like Temperance (I did Temperance before, but I got a great image for it, so Temperance it is again). And as minors the 6's. Last edited on Wed Jan 9th, 2013 04:41 pm by truelighth

Here's my rough draft of The Sun. Can I confirm that we do image only, no numbers or titles (those will be taken care of by skad1)? Thanks.

I'm all for letting people have the ones they want. 5 cards is alot for some people, and may turn them off the deck. I'm hoping to get more people involved, so singletons will probably be appreciated.

If you don't want to take them all, that's cool. I've got you down for all 4, but if change your mind later, let me know and I'll put them out for grabs.

I don't think we should go with a theme. It will just mean people will drop and it doesn't really work usually. We will have long discussions and end up with no theme anyway. So I vote for no theme!

I really, really like the idea of a theme, but I have been really, really outvoted on the subject. And it wasn't worth it to me, so I am not going to push a theme, and I think I was the only one pushing the subject. The thing that will take all the individual cards together into a cohesive deck will be the consistent border. And the name and numbers on the border.

In my not in the very slightest, totally nonhumble opinion, a theme REALLY only works when it's one person doing the artwork. the blue line JUST made it. But - well, we all see things differently; I well recall the Chimera idea when we even disagreed about what one WAS....
LOOK at that chart filling up !!! Way to go us.

Ah, that's too bad, you're one of the people who have been involved since almost the beginning. And like someone else who skipped, once it's done, you can never get that deck. Remeber you have until June to complete the card.
I sorted on who has been in each deck, and there were 56 people involved, of those so far there are 7 who have been involved in all the decks (including this one.) there are 4 with 6 decks to their credit, 3 people with 5 decks, 5 with 4 decks, 5 with 3 decks, 15 with 2 decks, and 17 with one deck. How about that for a bit of statistics?) The numbers include this years deck.

I've worked out a frame for this year. Rather than the graphic ones from the last couple years, I went with a frame as the frame! What 'cha think? I put the Strenght in one so you can see what it'll lookk like. Attached Image (viewed 410 times):

Hello you all! I am new here, thanks for having me on the forum! gregory was so kind to invite me to participate, and i would love to! If it's ok I'd rather only do one card since it's the first time for me creating a tarot card ever - can I do The High Priestess? It might end up being more a "Papesse", since I am all about historic decks and TdM, but I hope that's ok :-)
I think this will be fun! Looking forward to it, and to being here on the forum in general!

I see a lot of cards are taken already and that is great! It will be wonderful to have a full deck again.. yah!  7 majors and 3 sets of minors still to go.
I just want to throw a suggestion out there. Since there are not that many cards left and maybe some people are weary to do all 4 of a minors, we could also give just one or two minors to those who are willing instead of all 4. Or just wait a bit longer to see who else will participate.

Somehow it looses the "evileness" if you freely admit it, then giggle. Now don't lie, I heard that giggle.
Rules up front say you can take 1 major and 2 minors, unless taking a group, so it has always been so. There are just others lurking in the shadows who pop in once and awhile to have fun with some poor soul.

Hello! I started thinking about my card, but I am confused about inches and mms... So the actual design I have to do should be 2,5 x 3,75 inch, right? on the diagramm it's written that this equals 5,29 x 7,94 mm - but this should be cm, right? anyway, the values seem to be off, too, no? One inch is 2,54 cm, no? so 2,5 inch should be 6,35 cm and 3,75 inch should be 9,525 cm, no? or am i getting something totally wrong here... Thanks!

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

So the actual design I have to do should be 2,5 x 3,75 inch, right? on the diagramm it's written that this equals 5,29 x 7,94 mm - but this should be cm, right? anyway, the values seem to be off, too, no? One inch is 2,54 cm, no? so 2,5 inch should be 6,35 cm and 3,75 inch should be 9,525 cm, no? or am i getting something totally wrong here... Thanks!

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
your design area is 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches ( 2.5 horizontal and 3.75 vertical inches). Convert as needed

No, they haven't. (there's a chart in the first post in the thread.)
And to have YOU do some would be AWESOME.
Minors - 9s and Kings are still up for grabs; majors, Emperor, Hermit and Wheel - and the title card, which might be trickier for someone who hasn't been here that long ! Some of us (she said hopefully, and knowing of your talents) have taken a major and a full set of minors. but you don't have to. At the moment it is still limited to one major per person, but Sherry might always change her mind.
*mutters - must get on with those 5s... mutter mutter*
