And Just Like That... I have completed work on the FIRST pass of the tarot deck I am creating. I started back in February and just like a baby, nine months later the tarot deck popped out. And similar to a baby, it ain't done cooking yet.
First comes the victory lap, which I'm in the middle of right now. WOO-HOO! I COMPLETED 81 CARDS IN 9 MONTHS! YAY ME!
Next will come a well-deserved rest. But knowing me and the kind of person I am, the rest won't be long. I've committed to a week of not touching anything in my deck. We'll see how that goes.
Then comes the second (and possibly final?) pass on the deck. There's some cleaning up that needs to be done. Some cards need more, well, attention let me just say, than others. So I'll be going back through the entire deck and fine tuning the deck.
Then another victory lap and rest. WHOO HOO! THE DECK IS DONE! (I need a nap!)
And then we start the FIRST pass at the guidebook.
So yeah. Not NEARLY done yet. but I truly believe the hardest part of creating a tarot deck, actually CREATING the cards, is over. Of course, the Universe giggles when it proves me wrong, so we'll see.
Anyway, in the meantime, I can't tell you how PROUD I am of this deck. I can't WAIT for you to see it in its entirety when it's ready! What started out as a desire to create my own tarot tapestries has turned into this full-blown tarot project that has been equal parts amazing, mind-blowing, frustrating, expansive, irritating, and joyful. Especially joyful.
If I have my way, the deck and guidebook will all be done by next spring and hopefully available to purchase by next summer. Again, we'll see how much of a chuckle that plan gives the Universe, but that's the goal for now.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take a nap.
