Tarotlyn, I'm finding that I kind of like this deck, even though I'm not a Chi person. (I love dogs, and Chis are OK, but not my first choice.)
I am, however, all over the AT Pets deck. I'd love to be a part of that one.
Meanwhile -
I loved that Chi with the needle - your second choice for a devil card. Maybe do like the Thoth - make two different Devil cards (like the one Thoth has three Magicians?) Then we could use whichever one we prefer.
The fool is pretty cool looking.
The Queen of Cups however - and maybe it's me - the Chi in that one looks more manly than womanly. Granted, it may be a female in real life, but the face seems to scream "King" to me instead of "Queen" (though I know that men can be queens....)
Just my two cents. I'll definitely be buying one of these when you're done.
Question: For the All Bears you had your proceeds going to a wildlife foundation. Would you be having any proceeds for this one going to a Chihuahua rescue? Not that it makes any difference, I'm just curious.
Hi! Shalyn...I so happy to that you like this deck so far. I think that it might be the whiskers
on the Queen of Cups card that might give her a more masculine appearance. And that may
be the case in all of the female Chi cards in this deck. I might do a 2nd version of this card
with another Chi and then take a vote on it to see which one everyone likes best.
Thanks for your observations on this, I will check it out.
I will keep you in mind for the AT Pet deck, I think that one will be a lot of fun!
There are probably enough member's pets on here for 10 decks! LOL It could be an ongoing thing.
I'm glad you brought up the possibility of a 2nd devil card...that's probably a good idea.
I will have to work on that too.
You are now on my deck list for this deck
Regarding Chihuahua rescue...you must have been picking up my brain waves? The thought
has crossed my mind about donating 100% of my proceeds from this deck to that cause.
There are some pretty abused Chi's out there. One of my friends, years ago, bought one
and paid a really high price just to get it away from it's abusive owner.
I have seen Chi rescue places online but I will have to check into them further.
In the meantime, if you hear of any good ones, let me know so I can check them out too.
Thank you so much, Shalyn, for posting your comments
I love the Queen, she looks great. And the Fool too! You really are doing a great job!
For what it's worth, I have a hard time photographing my dogs too...not sure why. I guess they just don't stay still long enough. You need a fast camera for sure.
That is the problem my camera is just too slow
for their quick little movements, plus mine deliberately 'hate' cameras and will NOT pose!
But I just ordered a new touch screen camera, and I am hoping it snaps faster!
...or I will be forced to use older (younger) images of my Chi's.
Thanks,
Bhavana, for your comments...
Lynnie, i am really loving the pics!
i ADORE the Fool! Debra's brother will be thrilled when he sees him, i am sure! i adore the Queen, but personally,i think the crown is a bit too big.
That was my first impression, anyway.
i love the water closer to her feet...
Hugs and Blessings,

Thanks, sis... yes, I am loving the water up closer to the Queen of Cup's feet too!
It just seems right to me. I will check out her crown and see if I can tweak it down a bit...
Do you think it is too 'wide' or too 'tall?' or both?
I didn't know if Pinto showed up very well in the Fool card, so I put a slight light yellow glow
behind him. Debra said she liked it, so I hope it will be okay. And you like it...so Pinto is probably a go
Thanks for your help
sis!
OMG this deck is so cute! And I love the posts about your pets!
A dog named Taco.....that is too funny.
I think you are doing a great job. I love all of them. I is a hard task to do a whole deck but your taking it all in stride. Best of luck to you!!!!!!!
Thanks, Lady Morgaine, glad you like the Chi cards, but it looks like I need to make some changes
on a couple of them. And you are right, it IS quite a task to complete a whole tarot deck!
...and this one is going much slower than my last. However, I do want to speed it up some
because I have my other deck ideas piling up...LOL (two more at least, and one I haven't
even mentioned yet!
)...so that is three more, after this one, that I want to do...YIKES!
Regarding my Taco, he is actually REALLY funny, and he acts like a little baby most of the time,
and he is 10 years old!
He is very, very sensitive too, like when I put on his little shirts,
he wines while I put each front leg into the sleeves! It makes me laugh! He's such a baby! LOL Ha Ha
But...once the shirt is on, and the ordeal is over with, he likes it on and is so happy.
Thanks,
Lady Morgaine, for for your comments...
@ everyone...
Hope you are all having a great day, and if you aren't, I am sending some positive vibes towards your way!
HUGS
