Scarlet Woodland
Well, my deck has been shipped so I've just got to sit tight now and wait for it to arrive. I see it's your deck of the week Scarlet Woodland...I hope you have fun with it.
I'm glad I ordered it. I'm really hoping that I get on well with it. There shouldn't really be any reason not to, seeing as the imagery doesn't put up any barriers to entry.
I'm slightly surprised no one else seems to have it here. I have found a few blogs/tumblrs that talk about it but not many in any depth. Maybe because by its nature, it's a deck that encourages introspection and personal meaning.
We're getting on great so far and can I just say the cardstock is delicious! Don't know who the printer is but feels like it might be printer studio? I've only experienced their linen stock so far and this is definitely smooth but it has that same, hefty weight and buttery softness + firm 'flick' that I love. Could shuffle this for days. Really pleased with the size too... it feels goldilocks right
Am clearly not wildly imaginative as I mostly see people, landscapes and invertibrates in the images but they work so well. Being abstract, the right nuance of meaning of that particular card can just pop out at you. You're not limited as with literal images that can only illustrate certain aspects of each card.
Think I like every single thing about this deck. Lovely to have such attention to detail in the wrapping and a little personal message too
