Okay, here was the process:
- Dipped and dryed two times.
- Shuffled and shuffled and shuffled and shuffled while still wet.
- Kept them covered with towel (set on towel and then doubled towel over deck).
- Set in window sill to get some healing sun energy (one hour).
- Ironed each card once, both ways (about a forth of the deck - I lost patience).
- Threw cards in a cotton shoe bag and put on low heat in the clothes dryer.
- Decided to hell with it and took the cards out of the bag and put them back in the dryer.
- Stacked them up for presentation and photographed them as a warning to you, my fellows and friends.
I do kind of like them. I can shuffle them. They would also make a lovely decoration with a tiffany blue satin ribbon tied around them and laid on the bookshelf.
The tumbling in the dryer gave some nice authentic dog ears, but now the deck is about 3.75 inches tall!
...and no worries, I was the first one to vote "atrocious"!
