The Other Frog Tarot.

[Lillie]

I'm not touching it.

It can be like it is.

It's pained me enough already.

Maybe I'll do something to it when I sort them all out at the end (if there is ever an end...)
There are others that need sorting out.

Maybe I'll get some inspiration for it then.

I have never liked religious leaders and I have never liked teachers.
They annoy me.

That first one was never a card, it was just me messing with the frogs.

 

[Lillie]

Dammit Kenny.

You weren't wrong, were you?

Right.

This is it.
And if people don't like this one, tough.
Cos I am so sick of this card I never want to see it again....

 

[gregory]

I love all of them and I have KEPT all of them

 

[Lillie]

Hmmm......

I'm going to remove the other three.

Keep them if you like, but they were wrong.

Same frog photo on all of them, only the decorating changed.

I think you should check and see if Adam McLean might be interested in doing them in his Art Tarot series.

And that Frog in Scanner would make a fabulous back. If ANYONE decides to print these for more than just their own consumption (assuming Lillie and the Frogs agree), I'll have one, please.

 

[Lillie]

That's very kind of you to say, but I don't think Adam would want anything this silly!!!

Anyhow, here is the wheel.

I am sorry to say I have to agree about Adam. Not that this is silly - but it isn't Adam's kind of thing. His decks are ART - and while I absolutely LOVE this - well - um - I also love Lillie , but....

GREAT card but how did you make the poor little things hang on there ?

 

[Lillie]

Adam does serious, proper decks.

And this one is very silly.
It's sole purpose is to make people smile at the funny frogs.

How did I get them to hang on?

God...

This one was so difficult.

I had to photograph them all separately.
The big one was just sitting, but the two small ones were pinned onto an embroidery hoop.

Then I had to get the three pictures, remove all the background so they were floating and paste them carefully on to the wheel in the picture, with a bit of jiggling and scaling and turning round so they were right.

It worked quite well I think.

By the way, the boy frog is on the way down and the girl frog is on the way up.

 

[gregory]

Oh right. I thought it might be threats and withholding of flies

Or Krazy Glue.....

 

[Lillie]

No.

I offered them flies but they refused and I had to pin them on.

They weren't happy.

I told them they had to suffer for their art.

Next I am going to string them up to be falling frogs for the tower.

I tried chucking them in the air and trying to photo them as they fell....

yeah, right....

Pictures of the wall, pictures of the carpet, pictures of my hand....

Not a frog in sight.
