Thank you irmata and Ezili.
I appreciate your comments very much.

Hullo Prudence.
Actually, it was a technical issue that had nothing to do with vision.
During my walk away, some of the latex masking sat on the sheet for too long and dried too hard, so it became un-removable.
With watercolor, timing is everything.

While a re-think due to advances in tarot history does sound interesting,.....
Hullo Kat.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, I'm afraid you've misunderstood!
Who said anything about "advances"?
I seem to recall mentioning something about an "arena"......

......is doing a book to go with your deck maybe giving yourself waaaay too much to chew? I think that your images speak for themselves and the deck stands on its own as a valuable (potential) addition to the TdM ranks.
Well, the main intention was for the images to speak for themselves, so I'm happy to hear that.
The book would be about visual language and structure.
I have always tried to stress that this deck was an academic exercise, and I've thought of the actual rendering as something of an afterthought.
But as it stands, I expect I'll do an edition of the deck for the little group of people who have been patiently waiting for it, and a separate "book" edition will follow elsewhere. (It probably won't appeal to many people around here.)
