❋ On social media, the hashtag for this deck is #thetexturedtarot. On initial research, I gained a sense that there is an overall preference for 'no borders' around the images of tarot cards (white borders naturally protect the corners of printed images). ❋ On darker coloured cards, it is expected that the corners and edges will naturally wear a little over time. Also, the card stock is thick enough to ensure a quality feel and extend the life of the deck. ❋ PLEASE NOTE, this deck is not suitable for 'Riffle' shuffling as I wish to reduce the amount of plastic used in producing the cards. For this particular deck, I took a different approach using collaged pieces of digital photography mixed with textures, digital drawing, and re-usable stitching on textiles. This will help ground you in their illustrated intention. ❋ The mini-booklet included provides researched word prompts and phrases behind the meaning of each card. The deck and mini-booklet fit into a fully printed rigid box. Each card is of Standard tarot size at 120mm x 70mm. ❋ This 78 card deck is printed in full-bleed colour, plastic-coated, 395um, Zanta Box Board, and matt laminated. You’ll notice the subtle variation in style that evolved during my journey creating this deck. If you start at the Major Arcana, flow into the Court cards and then end up at the Pips. ❋ The tarot is loosely themed around the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. The effect is created by digitally collaging fragments of digital images, layered textures, digital art, hand-drawn art with stitched textiles. I approached this project with an open heart, as an artist interpreting the information before me. ❋ With a beautiful mix of visual ideas of what it means to be human– it is an eclectic fusion of traditional, contemporary, symbolic, and quirky illustrations.
I can also see it complimenting many other tarot and oracle card deck readings.
This deck is an approachable gateway for people new to tarot (particularly those who fear it), or a collectors deck for tarot card lovers. ❋ The creation of this deck sprung from a desire to make something for personal growth that is accessible to understand and fashioned in a way that felt more in keeping with my values around Nature, inclusiveness, compassion, and kindness. This will be continuously reviewed and updated as necessary. ❋ International postage is currently compulsory tracked and insured due to the pandemic. ❋ THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF NINE OF WANDS WITHIN EACH DECK! You should be able to claim a refund for the overcharge. If on the rare occasion you do, then the mistake is with the postal service/customs and not the label or Etsy. ❋ Please note that if you are purchasing from the EU, I now process all EU postage labels through Etsy so you should not be charged twice by Customs.
