... well... if the bears won't come to you...then you go to the bears!
That's right...I am going to the bears...I am going to make a new BEAR TAROT deck...
I tried to find a decent 'all bears' deck for my neighbor and I even started a thread asking for
suggestions on finding a good 'bear tarot deck'... BUT none of them satisfied me...
It is to be a very special gift for my neighbor, Gladys, whom is of American Indian decent...
She told me she is tired of people giving her 'Indian' type decks...and most the 'bear' decks
are in these type of themes or else they are gay decks. She told me she wants a 'realistic' bear photo type deck...
...SO...I 'makey' my own deck!!!... I should have it all together by Xmas this year
It will be a 'real bear photos' tarot deck. I have just spent 2 hrs on it so far...and I think it WILL be a GO for me!
Right now I am just collecting images that I will manipulate to do their own 'tarot' dance!
I know that some of the cards will definitely be a challenge...but I am going to try to do it anyway!
The reason I am posting this is that I am sure I will need some AT member support along the way to keep going.
I am not sure whether the deck will eventually be for sale or not, but right now I am thinking of just sharing it
for download and you can print out your own copy. At the end, I will share my instructions on printing, etc.
Now all I have to do is to make it though the next Mercury Retrograde (Nov. 24th -Dec. 14)
WITHOUT changing my mind about doing this!!!
So, I will need some suggestions along the way, as to NAME of the deck, border style
(I think I want some kind of neat but small card border...maybe leaves?)...and a ton of other suggestions...
I have one worry: I AM a perfectionist so I will have to watch that or it could take longer than a few months!!!
SO if I get stuck, I am going to holler at you all for help!!! Hope that is okay?

Oh, and I told this little bear just now that I am making this deck and this is how he acted:
(NOTE: I think he might have to be THE photo on the 'backs' (?) of the cards?)
