LANGUSTL- Lenormand

I will choose a size between not to big and not to small ;-)

The deck grows as slowly as a turtle crawls in the moment ;-)). But HERE is a new card. The "Women". Hope you like it

Hi

Got an idea for the child. Outside in front of the window we can see a blooming tree, what shows that we have spring. The same is underlined by the calender with März/March written on it.

What do you think?

I like the Number 13. LOL.

Thanks !

Finished the Child today. Fitting Business for a rainy weather.

Just a couple of notes... if you put the title in English (which I don't imagine that you will!), it would be WomAn, not WomEn - the latter is plural.

Also, what are those "thingies" in the water? I imagine that they are supposed to be fish, but they rather look like.... umm... male parts!

While I like all the rest of these cards, this one seems to be almost monochromatic in comparison with the others. Are you sure it wouldn't stick out too much in a spread, due to that?

The child card is lovely! Can't wait for this deck!

Oh, thanks, I actualy know that, just confused it. I got it right on my website. But the cards will have no titles only the numbers.

Well, it may stick out a little bit, for me the man and the womAn are the two maincards, showing the main polarity, Adam and Eve, so they can be a little monochromatic. Even should be.

I figured you knew the diff btw woman and women, but just in case I thought I'd point it out. I'm reminded of all the Italian (???) decks that say "strenght" in stead of strength. Since English is so phonetic (NOT!!) that's an easy mistake to make.

Well, concerning the "fishes"... I guess my mind's in the gutter - or was when I first glanced at the card. lol

I looked at the whole page with your finished cards, and I figured out what it is that bothers me about the womAn card. It's that all the colors that are visible on the scan lean toward the blue end of the spectrum - blue and pink. I don't see the issue with the mAn card, because the color scheme is on both sides of the color wheel - a purple + the sunset colors. So I guess the card looks kind of "cold" to me. Like the coffin card having the complement of the yellow butterfly to offset the purple (and oh, am I a fan of complementary colors used together, esp when one is tinted or shaded, think red + pine green, purple + golden yellow, etc. But that's just me!)

However, looking at all the finished cards, I don't see the lady card as sticking out as much as I first thought.

Good job, and thanks for hearing me out. I can't imagine being brave enough to just throw one's artwork out on the internet and have rank amateurs taking potshots at it....
