The Magician reminds me of the Sternenmadschen Tarot, it is cool!
I didn't know that one - just looked it up. I like it; very colorful. (I'm a big fan of lush colors!)

Since the moon is waxing and approaching full (and, because I just finished it) I thought it would be a good time to post The Priestess card
OK for all you fellow Luddites out there who can't afford Photoshop...
The solution to correct the "too orange yellows" was to just repaint them, in a ver slightly lighter yellow with a bit of titanium white for opacity. Original still looks the same.
Now it scans perfect and matches the original, no digital adjusts required. Only took a few minutes. Unlike figuring out some program, lol.
The key seems to be, where yellow is next to red, add a tad of titanium white to the yellow to reflect the light from the scanner. Otherwise the reflected light is red, resulting in orange.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
here is the new card:

First off, I love the new card, and I love the direction this deck is taking...it seems like you are having a lot of fun bringing in...what do I call it...modernity? Images from outside of traditional tarot that nevertheless reflect how ubiquitous the archetypes are in our modern world. And how true! I love your work in the Rosetta (I still don't have mine yet cuz I've been unemployed...) but this is just over the top. How many times do you find you have to do each card to get it "just so?"
Wow. such an INTERESTING take on this card. I'll admit that my first look was one almost of indifference, which is not normally the case with your art work Babs. I thought,"eh". Then I went back an hour or so later and just looked at it and then I got it. It defiantly is not an image that hits you right at first glance like The Fool, but it IS a great card. Love the beehive worked in and the colors on the grass are vibrant and full of life. How did the idea of the heart hive come to you?
