i think i like this 2nd version of the backs better...especially for people that like to
read with reversed meanings...

Plus it might be better not to have a Chi on the backs...otherwise it could be too confusing
when using the deck because then the backs would look like it should be a front image...

So here is the one i like best:

Lyn

ETA: i chose this image because of the warm coloring...i think it blends in nicely with the
frame borders on the card fronts...and with the water it was easy to mirror...

Ah well, personally, in a deck where the fronts are so rich with colors and forms and meanings, I prefer a simple back, maybe a geometric design or a chi silhouette or the like--just my personal inclination

Sweetie, i thought you were changing the"Aye Chihuahua" name to something with a more Medieval flavor to it.Didn't i read that somewhere early on in the threads? Maybe i misunderstood...

If you do change the name, then i would definitely vote for version 2.

Hugs and Blessings,

Thumbs up Version 2


Well, personally I was totally smitten by Version 2!

It is for me an awesome back for the deck reminding well the theme...
If I was to buy another Tarot deck I would be nuts to have that kind of back for the cards...It would not interfere with drawing the cards, even though it is a landscape, it is such a peaceful and beautiful sight!

Thing is, I love when decks have a beautiful backside for the cards! But that's my taste...

Anyhow, without hesitation, if I may place my vote, it is for version 2

The box for the cards


I don't know if you plan on having a "special" box for this deck...but if you do and do not know yet how it could be done....I thought that Version 4 would make great box!

Well, version 2 is admittedly beautiful. It is my definite favorite of the ones Lyn has offered.

i am finding that my >Main< problem is this--i am just not wild about the name "Aye Chihuahua" for this deck, because of the kind of Medieval theme mostly being depicted.

Every time i hear i see the Aye Chihuahua name, my mind conjures up a picture of a Chihuahua Mariachi band--complete with sombreros, serapes, guitars and maracas! i can't help it! i used to live very close to Mexico!

Maybe if the name were changed to something more Medieval, the version 2 backs would work better for my eyes and mind. i know i am asking a lot here...
Lyn might have her heart set on that name...but i just had to express my feelings about it...

ETA: IMHO a box is not necessary. i would be very happy with a small organza drawstring bag. Much less of a hassle for our Lyn.

Exactly, and that "theme" seems to be mostly Medieval...That's why i am not fond of the name "Aye Chihuahua Tarot"...
With Aye Chihuahua, i can't get passed my image of a Chi Mariachi band!

Lightbulb Name for the Deck


I agree with you MoonGypsy the name does sound like a Mexican Chihuahua deck

To stay with the Medieval/Renaissance style of the deck a "Renaissance" expression would work perfect....for those of you who go to Renaissance faires you know what I mean, for others here it is:


"Oyez! Chihuahua Tarot"

"Oyez" was used by town "criers" to call the attention of the people before an announcement

"Huzzah! Chihuahua Tarot"

"Huzzah" was a way to express how impressed you are with something!

These are just ideas/examples...any other Renaissance expressions would work, at least that is what I think
