Making My Own Tarot Deck
I decided I would paint (and in some cases use mixed media) my own tarot deck as a positive project to give me a creative outlet. Painting isn't my forte, but I enjoy it. My plan is to scan and digitally alter all the paintings to make uniform-sized cards. Here are the first four cards… Continue reading Making My Own Tarot Deck
