direct from the centaur's mouth...
First thank you for your interest. I am humbly honored that with all the decks out there, this one still made a difference.
Funny this came up now. Just the other day I pulled out the portfolio of the original paintings. I was struck by how charming they are in person now, and felt guilty for neglecting them! They were painted card size so are true miniature paintings.
There are no plans in place to publish another full size Rosetta at this time, as I am only one person, not a company, currently trying to finish and publish a second deck while working a day job. So I can only handle one publishing project at a time! I do this because I am obsessed with it, truly. It is my passion to create esoteric art, and all I really want to do.
I'm not ruling a second edition out though if it truly seemed like there was interest. Maybe once I finish my current project there could be another edition, someday. Perhaps for a significant anniversary of the deck in the future.
But it would have to be made different somehow just to engage my creativity in the project, and so that the first edition would still be uniquely itself. Because I am happy that there were only 777 of that one and they form a happy family of sorts, all over the globe.
There are still pocket size decks in a tin, both standard and customizable. They are not "mini" decks as they are not that small, though in my ignorance of the exactitude of the terms I called it such. It should be called pocket size not mini. They are about the size of a business card but maybe a little wider.
The reason I made those is because I wanted a vibrantly colored yet smaller sized portable deck in a tin, for use in "portable magic" as described in the book of that name by Donald Tyson. The Rosetta, with it's vibrant coloring, has images that really vibrate and thus are easy to visualize, which is what he recommends. Since it fit the bill for the perfect deck for that I made them because I wanted it for myself!
They are a bit of work for the creator though, in that I had/have to do a lot of work to make the tins, adding the outer labels, varnishing them, cutting and attaching the ribbon lifts, etc. And making the custom significators for each one.
They come with a significator card that is customized with your first name written in hieroglyphs in a cartouche held by Seshet. So whenever I send one out, I have to write the name in the glyphs in permanent marker, and I only get one shot as only one card comes with each deck and no spares exist. I fill orders in the morning before work, and it isn't just putting a deck in a box and attaching a shipping label. I am not a morning person so I have to focus! Believe me after over four years of this, I can write hieroglyphs fluently. And read them phonetically (though I don't know much Egyptian).
I do realize many prefer larger sized decks, and hope that someday it will find a way to another edition. If it is meant to be. So what could I do to make a new edition different and another animal while still true to the first?
