I made a special box for my Tarot of the Absurd deck.
That is wonderful! And I adore the backs of those cards!! They look hand marbled..I thought they would be black and white like the fronts!
I made a special box for my Tarot of the Absurd deck.
Last box for awhile as my work area is my dining room table, which needs to be cleaned off for Thanksgiving dinner....
I acquired a Cartomanzia 184 with a 1943 (not 1948) tax stamp on it, but it didn't come with a box. A friend has a Cartomanzia 184 with 1948 tax stamp in a one-piece box where the top and bottom are joined at the back. This friend's box also has a hole in the bottom of it that we've determined is for inserting one's finger to push the cards up out of the box. Well, my box is in homage to that box, although I wasn't even going to try to replicate that hole....
I took the card back and scanned it. The original back has faded gold coloring on the red background, but that just wasn't showing through in the printout, so I changed the gold to black. (Red, white and black is my favorite color scheme.) I decided to go for something completely different for the inside of the box as a little unexpected surprise....
As with all the boxes I've shown, the black is actually black wrapping paper. The inside of the box is scrapbooking paper.
I've never claimed to be a photographer, much less a good one!I love you Rodney you know I do. I'm just wondering, is it part of the mystique for every picture to be *ahem* focused on the afterlife rather than in this plane of existence?
I've been making boxes for various decks, although I keep moving them around.
Here's the one I just made for the Bohemian Gothic :

I wanted it to look like a Gothic Revival crypt. The paper is dyed indigo, and the box is made from book board.
