Major Tom	09 Feb 2002
*feeling rather pleased with my efforts* Major Tom's Tarot is halfway complete - 39 cards finished and on the website: http://majortomstarot.0catch.com/ See Faunabay as the Queen of Coins and 2 of Coins. See Tarotbear as the 8 of Cups. See me as the 8 of Coins and the 10 of Swords. See Greenman as the King of Wands (complete with standing stones). See my grandfather as a young man as the 10 of Wands. See Blue as the Knight of Coins. :D See a complete stranger as the 3 of Swords. My sincerest apologies to Kayne for losing his photos. :'( (If you can find them to send again - I promise I won't lose them) I'm really beginning to feel like I'm getting somewhere with this deck. }> Only 39 cards to go! If you've thought you'd like to take part - don't miss your chance.

Major Tom, I don't know what the deal is but I can't access anything below the court cards on your website :( The suits won't open????? And I don't know if this would be a great big deal or not, but can you make it so we could look at a larger version of the cards - You know, "click on the picture to see a larger version"?????? If it's a big deal no problem, but it's kind of hard to see some of the details.

Major Tom; Way to go! You captured my true essence and the essence of Oliver the Retriever as well. To think that my likeness graces a Tarot card. Today I am a Man!

kayne	09 Feb 2002
You lost my pics! :P :D Ok... will send them again - just because I want to be immortalized in a tarot card :)

tarotbear	10 Feb 2002
HEY! Now I'm in three of them ! ( brag, brag, brag). 3 out of 78 cards - that's .038% of the deck! LOL!!! :P Major Tom has more completed cards than the FACT deck!

Greenman	10 Feb 2002
yeah, nicely done Major Tom. i like the composite, although i really didn't think that was the picture you'd choose (i was picturing the 'swordfight' as the two of swords). but it came out great! they all look really good. hehe, i can't wait to show my friends. none of THEM are on a tarot card, mwa ha ha!

bec	10 Feb 2002
yeah I know I have taken forever, though since my assignment was - 2 coins - :O what now ? you have a 2coins now I see :( Me feel a tad forgotten now..........

Pollux	10 Feb 2002
HEY! I want to take part, Major Tom! :-) I'd love to include my participation to your Tarot Deck in my Curriculum Vitae! That would be just GREAT!!! ;p Really, I'm available. You just tell me the cards you still have to do, the one you think I can do, and the type of photo I must take and send you. I'd be most grateful if you let me do that! :) As for the Aeclectic Tarot Project, I being late, but I don't care! I want my share of fun, SO THERE! 8) You'll let me have it, right? :)

Kiama	10 Feb 2002
Major: WOW!!! I esp. like the new World card and the 8 of Coins, and of couse the 8 of Cups.... Blue: Love the guitar! Keep it going, Major, you're doing well! Kiama

blue	10 Feb 2002
Kiama; Yes, I'm kind of fond of it too. It sounds great and if you hold it flat in your lap you can see yourself! What more could a person ask for?

faunabay	10 Feb 2002
bec, I was actually supposed to be on the 9 of coins card, but he liked my picture for the 2. So maybe you will end up as the 9! ;D

faunabay	10 Feb 2002
OK, I don't know what the deal was, but I can access all the cards now. Maybe my computer (or fingers) were having a bad day yesterday. LOL Everyone looks SO GOOD! Major Tom is doin such a great job on his deck! And we (being the special people we are by knowing Major Tom) all get to be on tarot cards!!!! YEA!!!!

Major Tom	11 Feb 2002
Bec - Sorry about that. :'( I don't mean to offend here - so correctly me if I'm wrong - it has been some time (several weeks?) since we communicated about a photo for the 2 of Coins? Since we talked about it, I have been thinking about the card. Faunabay sent me her photos and there was one that fit perfectly with what I'd been imagining for the 2 of Coins! :o How can I communicate how keen I am to complete the deck? It was irresistable to go ahead and complete the card. I've still got 39 cards to create! You can appear on one of those if you want to :-) just send me photos. I suppose I also owe an apology to Truthsayer with whom I've been talking about the Queen of Coins but unfortunately exactly the same result. :'( There's still room for both of you. :-) Just don't wait too long. Greenman - It's surprising how many people who have given me photos have said I didn't use the photo they thought I would. I like to think it's because my artistic vision is unique. :D Faunabay - I keep trying to convince myself that everyone in the world is a special person. :D Haven't quite gotten to the point where I believe it enough to always behave as if I do. :D :D But I'm absolutely convinced that every member of this community is special. ;D
