"Medieval Chihuahua Tarot" ...completed...

[MoonGypsy]

i am weeping i am so moved...i don't even know how to express how deeply i feel about these issues...
i am so very grateful to all of your loving hearts...

 

[tarotlyn]

oh yeah, this one would be great!!! So funny! With the blonde hair..!
I like it better than your most recent choices.

Lyn, I had forgotten - or maybe you never said - that you were donating ALL the money you get for this deck to rescues. You are really such a great person, all this hard work you have done - it's amazing that you don't care to keep any of it. God knows it is needed so bad. My heart breaks every day for animals. Right now it seems in Philly every time I turn around they are finding dogs tortured and burned to death - it's absolutely horrible, what goes on, and the laws are a bunch of BS - amount to nothing more but a slap on the hand. No surprise when we make football stars out of animal abusers in this country, what kind of example is that??

Big hugs and kisses to you, from me and all the dogs out there that need a second chance!

Thank you Bhavana, for your compliments, and you are so right about the awful abuse
these little 'love bugs' are taking...every day ... You know, i cannot even watch those
TV commercials when they show all the abused dogs...i cry and close my eyes...it is way too sad to see...
and this is honestly going on...believe me, when i was online searching for public domain images
i came across a lot of animal shelters that had images of horrible abuses done to little dogs...
This was a very difficult project for me to carry on because of all the photos i was seeing!!!
Real photos at real shelters trying to find homes for these precious little loving guys/gals.

It totally breaks my heart...

Oh, i read an article the other day that says that 'black' dogs get overlooked and their euthanized rate is staggering ...
Read this page about it:

For the hair of the 6 of Swords even though I like red hair over blond hair. I think that our little Chi looks better with her blond hair OR it needs a more subtle red hair that looks more natural...anyway even in real life I like red hair when they are either on the light side (what they call "strawberry blond") or when they've darken like an auburn color. In that case, red hair might suit her just fine...

She is surely adorable with her long hair...hey, that is the way women were back then!
and that is going to put a smile on people's faces! A little humor is good medicine!

And you made me giggle and put a smile up to my ears when I discovered your choice for the calendar’s pics!!! I didn't expect my baby to be on it! But true her dress is such a gorgeous medieval dress and the falcon is so typical of these days, thus the 9 of Coins is really so much into the Medieval theme and the Lovers are perfect! Fitting so well with both your deck and the Calendar’s theme! I bet the Lovers will end up on the February page celebrating "Valentine's Day"

And yes, like Bhavana said this is a great gesture to give out the profits to help rescue dogs! It always breaks my heart to see how some people treat their dogs...and cats as a matter of fact. I can't stand the abuses done to these innocent, loving souls and I do help ASPCA as much as I can
for what you are doing my friend and I know that you will be greatly blessed for having such a big !

Hugs

ETA: I forgot to say that the note you wrote will be perfect, it does point out important things and is well put together for people to pay attention and they have the info on how to purchase the deck! Personally, I would not know how to do it differently, I believe he' ll be happy with what you wrote!

Thank you, LadyZelda...i am happy you are pleased.
Yes, i dare to be different (long hair on a few of the deck Chi's...LOL)...plus it really needed
a little humor too...Thank you for your vote...i will be keeping the 'blonde' version of the 6 of swords card.

Oh, i am giggling because your red haired Chi has my hair color almost exactly!!!

But, i do have to admit, the blonde looks better in this particular card.

Your write up is really great also; i would prefer "Ms." Monrean rather than "Miss", though. Just a personal idiosyncrasy.

The cards you decided to send for the calendar are perfectly lovely--especially the 9 of Coins with Khloe. i really have fallen in love with that card!

Thank you sis, for your vote, yes i am keeping the blonde haired version of the 9 of swords...
...she is just too cute!
Re: Ms verses Miss
Well i want to make sure everyone knows i am single...LOL BUT i am NOT looking for anyone
at the moment...
Maybe when i get into my next personal year of '5' (numerology) starting in about 6 months
... and then the year after that (a 6 year) is a year of falling in love...or eating and cooking a LOT... LOL
...i will probably just eat and cook a lot... Ha Ha
Thanks for the laugh, my sister! LOL

I was thinking about what you said above and it is quite something to know that in your deck there are actually Chis that came from shelters and the fact that your deck is there to help rescued dogs!

Khloe is one of them even if she didn't end up in a shelter after being abused. In her case, the litter of puppies was left at the doors of a shelter. She was the only female, all her brothers were quickly adopted and she was left on her own. When I found out about her, the lady that worked at the shelter told me she wondered why all her brothers were already gone and no one had paid attention to Khloe when she was so adorable...
Well, I knew why! It was because she was meant for me and I needed a bit more time to find her on the Net! I was blessed to get her at 10 weeks old a bit more than 2 years ago and she's been such a blessing to me since then!

You know, LadyZelda, i KNOW that each little animal that enters our lives are here
for a special purpose...it is their mission on this earth...to bring experiences about love to us...through them

Lyn

...on to the rest of the editing now...will keep everyone updated...

 

[Bhavana]

yes, it is true about black dogs. Any shelter worker will tell you. I don't quite understand it, because I would not overlook a black dog....
It's like life in general - the beautiful animals get adopted first. That is why when I look, I tend to go for the underdog, the less attractive, or the dog that looks the most needy. But I haven't had to shelter adopt for a long time. Except for Oobi, all of my pets were dumped on me personally. You do get a reputation as the kind of person who takes in the unwanted!

I can't wait till I have more space for more dogs! I really want a greyhound. And a German Shepherd. Little dogs are awesome, but I love big dogs.

(Someone really should do a pitbull tarot.)

 

[tarotlyn]

i am editing...but i made this up as another choice for the backs...
This might be a better look for the backs of the cards than anything i did so far...

..in two versions of it...one without the deck name...and one with the deck name in red

...i am not sure yet which one i like best?

Lyn

 

[MoonGypsy]

Your new backs are very nice and i do like them best![less busy, which i like]--i definitely like the one >without< the name of the deck. Deck names on the back of cards are very much a pet peeve with me.

Hugs and blessings,

i couldn't sleep last night, so i haven't been to bed yet...

The reason...is i ended up 're-creating' Campa and Pixel...and both have NEW 'coins suits' colored clothing...

i was so unhappy with Sinduction's Campa and ahclem's Pixel Chi's that i stayed up all night
working on them to improve them. Their original photos were not the easiest to work with..
so this is as good as it is going to get...

Just thought i would post them so you can see the improvement...

...'green' is the color for the 'coins' (or pentacles) suit.

Now i feel MUCH better! : and now i am sleepy and it is 8:45 am...

Hope you like your Chi's cards more now Sinduction and alchem?

HUGS
Lyn

 

[MoonGypsy]

The new revamped King and Queen are just beautiful, sis!

 

[tarotlyn]

The new revamped King and Queen are just beautiful, sis!

Thank you sis...i hope Sinduction and ahclem like them as much as you do...

i sent them both pms so they could take a look...

...got to try to get a couple of hrs of sleep now...but will be back later this afternoon...

Lyn

 

[LadyZelda]

I do the new back for the cards!!!! Yes, it is even more beautiful!
I do prefer them without the name of the deck on it

For the new King and Queen of Coins they rock! Their outfit suits them so perfectly! They are absolutely stunning and I love the "dignified" face of these 2 Chi! They truly look like royalties....

Great editing work!

 

[Pet Jeffery]

Oh my gosh, Pet, that is totally awful...not getting your mail for months!!!
Wait till you see all the 'traffic jams' if you live near the stadium...wow...i saw it first hand
in Los Angeles years ago. It was so wild!

Anyway, Pet, don't worry, i will put a copy aside for you for later...i just put a reminder
on my list about it.
Thanks for your lovely comment on the deck!

Our mail is being delayed, rather than not arriving at all... But I'm concerned that dishonest people will take advantage of the chaos to steal things that look as though they might have commercial value. By the time anyone bothers to investigate stolen items, the trail could be very cold. I think the mail disruption has to do (at least in part) with traffic jams.

You mention putting cards aside for me (thank you for that). Are you distributing the cards yourself?
