I really like the modern decks like Melissa and Dia de los Muertos. They remind me of tarot and I'm not quite fully in the Lenormand world yet.
I'm glad I could help! You will love that Purple Dondorf mini! It's perfect and I love the back design as well. And yes, there IS something about the minis! I thought when I went to print the Antiquarian that it would lose detail but it doesn't! It still reads very well for me. No glasses necessary yet! Thankfully because they've been such a handy size to carry around.
I've been up-cycling my Chinese lozenge containers to store my favorite minis in. Check it out! I painted a mints tin to hold my Glück in. It's the magenta colored tin below the gold mini tins. I lined it with light blue velour & it fits the Glück perfectly.

Those tins are amazing! I love the mottled paint effect, love the muted colors, love the stamps/stencils -- I just love everything about them!
I have some mint tins lying around, and it looks like the Newman's Own or WF 365 tins will fit the Glück nicely, so thanks for the idea! (And the Vermints & Xylas aren't bad for regular minis.) My Glück is currently in a narrow loose-weave canvas bag that annoyingly catches on those sharp corners every time, so it could use a new home. Do you remember the brands of those Chinese lozenges? I don't think I've noticed any mints/lozenges with those small funky sliding tins before, so I'll have to keep an eye out.
One more question: is there a recommended type of paint to use on metal? I wouldn't be trying to copy yours (not that I could if I tried!) but I'd like to cover the mint brand labels on mine and wouldn't know where to start. Can you tell I'm not much of a visual artist?
Didn't mean to get so off topic, but I had to ask about those tins!
I think the Purple Dondorf (for some reason I type Dragon instead of Dondorf every time ) and Antiquarian minis will join the Glück and Blue Owl at the top of my most-used list. And maybe the MiniLen, too. I'm also really glad to hear that you don't think your mini deck suffers from a loss of detail. Excellent!
Oh my goddess, lb!!!! My jaw fell on the floor when i saw these tins you gave your magic touch to! How, i mean....HOW...what...did you do? i am still awestruck and can't even talk right. Where does one get these "Chinese Lozenge" tins???
A Chinese Grocery store, maybe?
My minis need to be liberated from their organza drawstring bags!
These are painted? i have only worked with enamels on metal...i am curious like kallope...They almost look decoupaged...Oh so lovely they are!
ok ladybird...I MUST know how to do the one with the handwriting on it.
Is there a tutorial somewhere you could offer? Hmmmmm?
MUST. DO. THIS.
Hope this works for you, Kalliope!
I have no artistic skills- thankfully my hubby found me this fantastic little tin.
