The Flying Fool Tarot - made at the Reader Studio 09!

Aulruna

Our own Satori has offered the following study group at this year's Readers Studio:

Satori said:
Imagine your own majors Tarot deck. Your own crazy brainchild aswirl with images you chose to represent Your ideas on Empress, Your choices about the Magician and the Hermit. Have you ever thought about what it might look like? Hold that thought!

This year at the 2009 Reader’s Studio you have the opportunity to make that dream real. Don’t blink though, because you’ll only have 5 minutes per card and an envelope chock-full of fabulous pre-cut art, photography, illustrations and all kinds of symbols that will allow you to collage together your own Tarot deck.

Each participant will have the tools they need (can you say scissors, glue stick and 3x5 inch cards?) to complete a 22 card deck in five minutes or less per card.

I will lead you through this experience, and I promise it will get crazy, as we time the minutes, listen to music chosen to set the mood for each card and glue our fingers, our hair and our sanity down on card after card!

She did not promise too much :D

And this is my result, the Flying Fool Tarot!

These are even more gorgeous than I remember! :thumbsup:
 

Chronata

wow! Incredible! Those absolutely rock!
and...it's always nice to see a collage master at work!
Beautiful job
 

Satori

Yes, born from Chronata's Minute Deck idea, I thought, what about collage...can we do cards in five minutes????? Crazy!

Aulruna, what a great name for the deck. The Flying Fool Tarot!! I love it!

And Fran is right. Seeing it again I think it is even more amazing! The deck sort of pops....talk about sizzle!
 

Mimers

Wow! Now I see why Fran and Scion reacted the way they did! It is brilliant Aulruna, really! I especially like the Fool. The jar of ink is what stood out to me. That ink will turn into a wondrous story, but now it is nothing but potential. Wonderful.
 

BodhiSeed

Yep, the Fool is my favorite too!:D Aulruna, I'm wowed with your talent!
 

Manda

What a fun project. They are wonderful!
 

Satori

Look at the chair in the HP card. Aulruna painstakingly cut out the chair back and put it over the HP...we had five minutes to:

-sift through a pile of random art
-find your images
-put them together
-finish in five minutes!!!!

Wow!!! Startlingly fabulous orchestration of image.

Aulruna

Thanks for the feedback, it is highly appreciated!

Yes, part of the challenge was definitely speed.

But the multi-tasking procedure also built up to some kind of creative vortex - a Tarot warp! I cannnot describe it properly, but the surge was incredible.

The Fool is my favourite card too, so thought he deserved to be the title card!

The next batch:
