Tarot of the Absurd .... FINISHED - Page 18

Me too. But not if it delays my deck

**Debra** · 14-08-2012

That's adorable!

I hope you can get everything straightened out. You know, people here get the itch to find something to complain about. When deck artists hype their work as beyond-belief perfect, it's hard not to

You haven't done that. So I hope you don't get trapped into perfectionism--it's an absurd tarot deck, not the Sistine Chapel.

With all the right things you've described, very slight irregularities in cutting don't seem like a make-or-break issue to me.

I am okay to wait. Of course I want it right this breathing minute, but the reality is that I do have a couple of hundred decks that I guess could occupy my time while I wait

Lookin fwd to getting my hands on this deck! Love the pics, especially the Strength card! =)

**tarot heart** · 14-08-2012

Thanks for the pics! They look lovely. But...if the final product if off in any way that doesn't please you, then I would rather wait until all is corrected. Why shouldn't the final product be just the way you envisioned? I don't blame you one bit for wanting it the way you want it.

It's 13 years of effort on your part, so the final product should be just right...

Hoping everything goes well...

Oh, and I like the two ribbons, especially the black lace one.

I too am willing to wait until you are happy with the finished product. That is very important. We have waited, and we can wait a bit longer. As for the ribbons, I am ok with 1 ribbon, I am ok with 2 ribbons. As long as I can have this beautiful deck in my hands

Oh, thank you for your patience.
I unfortunately have trouble sleeping, I'm so annoyed with my disappearing-reappearing printer.

I know it might seem like I'm a bit neurotic about perfection, but I don't think it will be perfect in the end, because that's impossible. If I were to make a metaphor, however, it would be sorta like putting a beautiful picture in a dented frame then hanging it crooked. I would spend way too much time looking at the dent and the crookedness to remember to look at the picture. A simple frame hung straight will do. I don't kneed gold leaf finish and hand-carved roses.

Ahhhhh I've just seen that it can be pre-ordered now! I must scrabble around to find some monies asap, I don't want to miss out!!

BTW the boxes are lovely, love the ribbon!

My printer gets back into town today after yet ANOTHER vacation in the middle of my project.
I don't have any objection to his vacations: I have an objection to his timing.
Gripe, gripe. Thank you all for your patience.
