wow ppl, it is way to quiet in here!!!
I am still fighting my tarot faith crisis but DH talked me into keeping my decks, he said I might regret getting rid of them later and I know he's right, as it has happened in the past already.
I am planning the next project, the Light & Shadow Tarot... I started trimming it some years ago and stopped for some mysterious reason. Yesterday I took it out and got reminded a couple of annoying things...
1) because the images are different sizes, I had to trim according to the back image and not the front...
2) the deck is not so RWS standard that you would recognize immediately the card, so I need to write the titles somewhere on the place left
3) then why trim it and remove the titles in the first place, you idiot, you might ask... ---> the original size is HUGE. There is no way I can manipulate the original deck, the width, the length, it's just flipping huge!!!
4) i just discovered a new deck (can't remember the name) where only some items in the card were colored and the rest was kind of grayscale. Was thinking of trying to fill in some of the cards areas with fancy colors, but only little touches of color, to keep the b&w look.
5) AJ's crackling vernish sounds sooo interesting. Must check which deck would make a nice victim...
AJ: did you try it only on some areas of the image or you actually covered the whole card, making it look old?
ETA: just read carla's thread in Decks and how she needs a "fix". The vernish look would ft the Harmonious deck, I think...
Now back to my collection list to find the ideal victim, if I can get my hands on cracking vernish...!!! AJ, I blame you 100% for this, whatever your chicks might say about it ;-)
