III. The Empress

III. The Empress

Finally began the process of creating my Tarot card deck. This is the first card I have completed. The model is my friend Gina (the day before she gave birth to her new baby). This is card Five, of the major Arcana, The Empress. Only 77 more cards to go.

    good idea. Are you going to make an actual card deck? Exhibit in a gallery? All and more?

    Very Nice. I didn’t realize that Gina had the baby the very next day! Y’all were cutting it real close!!!

    @d.rex: thank you. I am looking forward to it, and they will be posted as I finish them.

    @sadandbeautiful (Sarah): well, I took this shot almost 2 weeks ago. I just didn’t have time to work on it til today. But it is nice to feel like the project is underway, yes.

    @jessie doncaster: thank you.

    @ambrosialove: she is very much both, but SOMEBODY keeps yelling at me whenever I say that.

    @mickeysacks: well, its going to take me a while to finish, so absolutely I’d love to have you. All you have to do is actually come out for Jammy Jam this time and no problem.

    @lalalaa Dolce Vita: I would like to actually get them printed as a deck and maybe a coffee table book. I haven’t actually looked into any of that yet though. I have a ways to go though and will before too long. As for a gallery, hell, I’d exhibit any of my stuff in a gallery if someone would ask.

    @lrayholly: yeah, well, she was busy up until then. So yeah, we got lucky.

    Oo, really cool. What a killer deck they’d make.

    @scribblegurl: thank you. Hopefully it will by the time I am done.

    I’m excited to see this project get out of the gate. I’ve said before that I’ve considered doing it myself. Maybe you’ll go and inspire me again, Mav.

    Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    @Sick Little Monkey: cool. good luck if you do. The planning process is even more maddenning than 365.

  13. March 8, 2007 at 9:06 am

  14. March 8, 2007 at 9:09 am

    @pi c’s: thanx. I may have one more up today, then it’s going to have to wait until I take more pictures.

  15. March 16, 2007 at 6:57 pm

  16. March 16, 2007 at 7:50 pm

    @Lord Hebo: thank you. I only hope I can keep it up throughout the project.

  17. March 30, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    I’ve seen a couple people on Flickr talk about starting something like this. Kind of nice to see it brought to fruition.

  18. March 30, 2007 at 5:41 pm

    @Hryckowian: well, to be fair, I only have 2 done… 76 more to go. But I’ve gotten a lot of interest. Hopefully I can pull it off.

  19. May 13, 2007 at 8:33 pm
