I have finally bought myself a Blank Tarot Deck..
I am trying to keep my mind occupied so thought i would start creating.
The card stock is passable..not overly thick but not too thin either.
I would have liked to create my own backs, but they came with backs on them already..
So I will run with that..
I will be trimming them as they seems too long for my hands. (todays Job)
What i want to know has anybody else created their own images on a Blank deck?
If so what Medium did you use?
I dont want the medium used rubbing off as i shuffle. so after a year its all big one ruddy mess.
Is there a fixative i can use to prevent that?
I am not looking at computer generated images nor do i want to paint, scan then print.
I would prefer to put the image directly on the card by hand.
I have water colours.
Ink
and Acrylic paints.
I like to use mixed media But only one paint type.. Acrylic or Water?
I dont think oils would do the job, But please do correct me if i am wrong..
I Am ok with using them too.
Any help will be much appreciated and i promise i will scan the finished cards and post em up..
I have full intentions of incorporating my Druid background with the gentle Buddhism, the spirit world, Runes , ancient symbols and earth based belief systems.. and try to stick to the RWS tradition, I know i will sway slightly away from RWS but only slightly. Especially with the devil card. I love my Cernnunnos in the druidcraft.
I will also def write a book of meanings for when i pass them down.
