kind of very on the fence right now about whether i want to start a sale/trade thread or keep this deck, so took some pictures in case, figured i might as well post them here. my trimmed and gilted Harmonious tarot :]

(edit - the color is tsukeniko pearlescent chocolate. it's very nice, much nice that the cosmic copper which i realize i don't actually much like at all. the decks i did with that pretty much all ended up getting touched up with this and/or spanish copper rub and buff, lol. the mix of the three makes a nice result on my thoth...)

Thumbs up


If you DO decide to sell or trade this, Cassandra...i'd probably be interested. i like this deck and you did a very lovely job with the gilding! i still haven't gotten up the courage to gild a deck yet...soon, though, very soon...

I just got my Mary-el. Now I have to buy another deck :-)
(for trimming, of course. It looks great! )
Are you happy with the result?

Very!
It is a lot easier to handle now. The challenge will be remembering which card is what and at the same time - not having the title will contribute to some good intuitive reading. The study group is helping with that!

That IS really nice. I remember seeing the copper, though I don't remember if it was yours or someone else's... I thought it looked good, but this looks much nicer imo.
