The Fairytale Tarot is printed!

The cards are all done and printed and now just need to be cut and collated. The quality of colour is remarkable - somehow between our printers and Alex (who is always there as each sheet is proofed and printed) we've become good at getting very intense, rich colours - not always an easy thing with cards. We are now both pretty tired but happy to see that the deck worked out so well. It's slightly strange as the artwork is sort of Irena's style done by Alex (she did the early drawings, he did all the finals and colouring). But it has the traditional, Central European style that we wanted - this deck needs to feel fairly timeless and not too computery. Anyway, we are off for celebratory coffee and cake. Here is the Eight of Wands - for a lot of things happening and for conclusions! Whoops Now maybe I can actually spend a bit more time with the kitten - who so far is mostly being brought up by Lotte, which considering her eccentricities (such as a passionate love of thunderstorms and sitting in the rain) may not be the best of influences.
