Bravo! Wonderful work!

These are really splendid.

Of course, showing a Tarot enthusiast a work in progress only gets them agitated ("are they done? how about now?).
 

XIII

Only just noticed this: one of my favourite WiPs, absolutely!

I am loving the new cards! Especially the Empress. Don't know why, but it talks to me. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I just completed four new cards.

VI - Amantes (the Lovers) - From Cesare Ripa Iconologia "Concordia"

VII - Currus (the Chariot) - Mars from Vincenzo Cartari "Imagines deorum, qui ab antiquis colebantur"

IV - Imperator (the Emperor)- Juppiter from Vincenzo Cartari "Imagines deorum, qui ab antiquis colebantur"

XIII - Mors (Death) - From Giovio's Emblems

They are all majors, since I think I will try to finish the majors: this work is proceeding very slowly and doing the whole deck at this rate would take until the summer of 2010 :)
So I now plan to do all the majors. When and if they will be done, I will see if I want to go on and complete the deck.
