***The paintings are great but I couldn't use them as tarot cards. Snails?
Snails indeed. Well, one snail on two cards - the Chariot and the Ace of Pentacles (I'm pretty sure it's actually the same snail and that the Aces depict the field mouse at various points through his journey).
Why couldn't you use them as tarot cards?
The Pirate is. I saw a copy in that format (and no, I didn't get to buy it, but I did get to shuffle it).
I do believe that the Kashmiri is, too, but also - if you choose to part with a motza, can be supplied in actual real wood. I know someone who is lusting after it. If I win millions, I might enable that.
I wonder if it would be possible to shuffle wood-stock cards! Or would they be more for deliberate choosing and contemplation?
