I like the celtic cross layout design in Mary Greer's Tarot for Self. Does anyone know where a layout sheet/clothe with that pattern can be gotten? (Also, where can I get layout sheets in general?)

Rubikon: Have you ever considered making your own? There are a few different ways you could do it... One way would be to make it on your computer and print it on to an iron-on transfer and iron it onto the fabric of your choice... This way you could make it exactly like the Mary Greer one if that's what you like :)

kayne: great idea, still I would rather just buy it or one similar, I'm not motivated to do my own crafts, maybe someone I know could do it though.

Hi, MM and welcome, There was a CC spread printed on paper in the Legend: Arthurian Tarot set. I do not know if you can get it separately but maybe s.o. can make a copy of it. B/W it is really very simple make this one by yourself. Just try it!

I actually found a legal size pad with the printed layout so you have 25-50 sheets with the CC design. I found mine at my local metaphysical store, but I think you can order them from www.insight-books.com. Hope this helps.

Catlin and Jewel: thanks for the input, I do like Kayne's idea too, just don't know how to make it on my computer

You can create the spread by making picture boxes ... just a thought.

I don’t know if you can still buy it, but there used to be something called liquid embroidery. It came in pens similar to magic markers. All you had to do was draw on the fabric. It ended up looking just like hand-sewn embroidery. You could get all different colors. Very easy to use! Now that I think about it, I might have to go to Walmart this weekend and see what I can find!

It has been a while since I have done it, but you can create boxes (like to frame pictures, etc.) in a Word document. Pretty simple process and you can drag your boxes around to place them where you like on the page. You can even put text in them in you wish ... this might be good if you are starting out you could put a description and see key words for the positions. Hope this helps.

There IS something you can buy I believe from amazon.com, and probubly other places. It's like a cardboard foldout with the celtic cross on it. I do not know the exact name , but perhaps a search at amazon would bring it up. Also , a lot of the u.s. game deck sets actually come with a fold out sheet of the celtic cross.
