Hello,
this deck has been announced in the advertisement section, but I thought it might be of interest to deck creators to open a discussion about that kind of approach in the "deck creation" section.
There are a few informations on the page
http://www.tarotparis.com/palimpsest-lenormand/?lang=en
and some scarce notes about my first attempts at creating a deck from an existing deck.
Did you already try to convert a standard deck to a cartomancy deck ?
What tools did you use ?
This Palimpsest Lenormand has been made with a standard poker deck where 2 to 5 were removed, tipp-ex and pens made the magic happen.
This isn't the way to go to create your personalized deck as tipp-ex or paint wouldn't last, or cards would need to be laminated. Using an uncoated deck (if you can find one) would also be a better idea than using a plastified deck if your purpose is to create a unique reading deck.
However this simple technique is really enough to create a model deck that will be reproduced.
At several moment I thought about transformation decks and obviously a Lenormand could be created as a transformation deck, but the "traditional" imagery may suffer from that approach.
