Black Hand Lenormand

So I discovered this: http://www.shelleybarnes.com/lenormand/

Tried doing a search for it here, but there doesn't seem to be a thread about it. there's also no ordering info on the artist's site. Strange.

Anyhoo, I like the almost old school circus/fair fortune teller vibe of the cards.

The artist also did some other Lenormand cards in a different style, as seen in some images here: http://www.shelleybarnes.com/#/illustrations/ (Clover, Rider, and Ship). I'm not sure, though, if they're part of an upcoming deck, since her website's a bit lacking in terms of info.

very pretty and well executed. Has a character of its own, which is always good to see. I think it's very original.

However, for me, I have a feeling that I already have all the Lenormands I need and the older, crisper ones do the job best for me. I can admire and love and possibly collect but I find that I know what I need to read with.

I wish the artist the best of luck. It's beautiful.

I like this deck a lot. The format is very interesting -- it's a 52-card deck, and the non-Lenormand cards are just the playing cards. So one could conceivably use it for both Lenormand reading and playing-card reading. I hope it's going to be sold as a deck. I suspect it will be, since she's a professional artist and presumably wouldn't do a whole deck without being commissioned for it.

I like this very much too and hope that if will be sold. It seems to be ready to go so I also wonder why there's no selling info on the site. I suppose we wait!

They have an iconic feel to them, and look a little like block-prints (more like "linoleum block" - an easier medium to work with - than wood). Too bad there's no detail about their creation on the site.

What a nice design. :)

These are lovely! I hope they'll eventually be for sale.

Were they removed? I'm not seeing any card designs.
