I'm in and I'll be using the Fenestra
You're on the list Would you like to share an idea of a timeline, or parameters/guidelines for your IDS? What would you like to achieve, and what made you choose your deck?DevilishAngel said:I'm in and I'll be using the Fenestra
Sometimes even before you had thrown the kick, you knew what was wrong with it I remember, too.Wendywu said:I was just pursuing the karate analagy and it dawned on me that I have spent up to five hours at a time practising one kick. And that was one session on that one kick. There were so many sessions - just for that one style of kick. And with every single kick you knew immediately you'd done it that you needed to correct this or that aspect with the next one.
I had forgotten about this for a while but just remembered that I still hadn't done this. So here's the spread, and now I know my thanks are due to Kilted Kat.SolSionnach said:Can you point me in the direction of that spread?Cat* said:I also need to find the person who once posted their "WTF Spread" up here so I can thank them for sharing it.
I believe you're the small person, happily working with your one deck of choice and ignoring all others. Whatever that border around the workpiece actually is - it looks like a chosen limit to me, one that enables you to get your work done. It's about the work itself, not the prize you'll get in the end. It also tells you you don't need to buy any more decks because you already have a hard time accomodating the ones you have (look at how full the big guy's arms are!)rwcarter said:I asked "What card wants to be on the top of the box I'm going to make for the deck?" and went through my normal shuffling process. And the winner is.... 4 Pentacles! My initial reaction was, "Um. Okaaaaaaayyyyyyy......" I'll have to think on the significance of that one for a bit.
Cat* said:Aside from that, I've started to wonder about the seasonal and elemental associations of the Greenwood again. Chesca Potter and Mark Ryan use wands for fire/spring and arrows (swords) for air/summer, which is different than the RWS system of swords/air/spring and wands/fire/summer. Cups/water/autumn and stones (pentacles)/earth/winter are the same in both systems. I haven't thought this through but would like to hear your takes on associating summer with air/arrows (swords) and spring with fire/wands... Does that make sense to you? Why (not)?
I see what you mean, and I agree. Thank you again for all the helpful information about glueing and lamination!Faolainn Storm said:And I'm not the least worried that this is off topic. After all the process of making a working copy of my deck has been a big part of my IDS. I has really helped me connect with the images.
This is a great idea. I'm currently housing my Greenwood in the bag tabbycat made me in the first Bag Exchange. That bag was originally meant for the Deviant Moon, but that has a box, and my Greenwood didn't, and so...rwcarter said:Second, I realized that for my only successful IDS (Ancient Egyptian Tarot), I made a deck-specific box for the deck. My subsequent IDSs with the Transparent Tarot and the Fifth Tarot failed for other reasons, but I didn't make a box for either deck. So after I get my study area all cleaned up, I need to make a box for the deck.
rwcarter said:Update on this post from the last thread. I've gotten my desks cleaned off and I've chosen my card for the top of the box I'm going to make.
