I'm making a 'new' 'bear' tarot deck...

[tarotlyn]

I just found this impressive page full of 'templates' for the superiorpod.com print-on-demand printers:
(Note: you don't have to log in...just scroll down and click on the links to see the templates)

http://superiorpod.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=database&action=display&thread=69

I want to try them (with my bear deck) because they are also like TGC, but their shipping may be less...
...still checking them out.

HUGS

ETA: They only have the poker, bridge, or jumbo sized cards...not the regular size...
...(so TGC or printerstudios.com for regular size deck )

tarotlyn, I've found an Australian bear rescue group who do great things in difficult conditions. Could I ask you to add their information on a card in your card deck? Could you also add a link to them on your donation list posted above? You said to suggest good organisations who are honestly helping bears. Their website states that all donations go 100% to the bears.

Here is the link http://www.freethebears.org.au

Many thanks

Bless your heart! moonbear...(regarding 'IF' I should add another card to my bear deck?)

I just checked out the donation site you suggested... and OMG!!! read this:

Quoting from freethebears.org.au (under: 'About Us')

"In 1993, whilst watching a current affairs TV program in Perth, Mary Hutton saw a segment
that would change her life and hundreds of others. The segment contained horrifying
footage of Asiatic Black bears held in coffin sized cages unable to move or turn with dirty
catheters inserted directly into their gall bladder.

Mary learned that thousands of bears were being held in these horrifying conditions throughout Asia,
regularly milked for their bile to feed the demand for bear bile to be used in traditional medicine.
Gall bladders and bile have been used in traditional Asian medicine for centuries...

... however the commercial farming of bears began recently in Korea during the 1980’s so
that the bears could be milked for their bile repeatedly throughout their lives."

***********end of quote*************

...I don't have to tell you...my heart is crying

Thank you so much, moonbear, for letting us know about the Asian Sun Bears...

YES I will definitely add another card to my deck, for you, with the Sun bear and new donation site link.
I will come back with an update on my deck and post my new card image when I am done with it...

SPECIAL 'SUN BEAR' HUGS for you moonbear!

Thanks for that tarotlyn.

If just one bear can be saved than this thread will have been worth it

 

[tarotlyn]

Just added an additional card to my All Bears Tarot deck

moonbear, this is because of your good heart:

I cried for the Sun Bear today!...and I am so glad that I made this deck now!!! No regrets at all

...some may like this 1st attempt at a tarot deck, and some may not, however...

as moonbear said...if just ONE bear was saved because of this deck...YES!!! YAY!!!

...I am going to also publish this deck in the regular tarot size, now that TGC has that size.
...and I will be adding my (non-profit) 'regular playing card' decks to the advertising thread
with links to see them when they are done. (One Panda deck, one Polar bear deck, and also
one Sun bear deck)...these are a direct result of this bear creation thread.

Thank you! All AT bear lovers!
BIG BEAR HUGS AND BLESSING OF LOVE AND LIGHT

That's a really lovely thing for you to have done tarotlyn. The card speaks for itself. A huge great thank you for having had the patience to do all this

And here's hoping those bears can look forward to freedom and kindness

My All Bears Tarot arrived today. Thank you for creating this lovely tarot!

 

[Pet Jeffery]

Oh, and I just donated $20 Australian to the sun bears. I don't know how much that is in English money.

I looked at that sun bear site, and felt that I needed to do a little to help.
