Here's my 9 of Pentacles. I took a photograph of a drawing I did using chalk pastels on 18" x 24" paper.

I like your drawing very much, I find it very sensuous.

Thanks, Flames! :heart:

CasCanete, I love your 5 of Swords. The image is gorgeous, and I love the winter/snow in it. It's also a great description of the card!

Elven, what an amazing painting you chose for Queen of Pentacles! Very confident and lush, a real Queen. :thumbsup:

Flames, wish I could draw and write like that. :D She's really expressive, and the little essay you did for the LWB... wish all LWBs had stories in them like that. :!:

Flames, your 9 of Pentacles is very lovely, made even more lovely by your write up. There's a solemn beauty to independence that you've aptly captured. Thank you for that.

Here's my 9 of Pentacles. I took a photograph of a drawing I did using chalk pastels on 18" x 24" paper. I then looked for an image of a coin with a falcon on it, although, it could be an eagle...In any case, using a bird for this card was very important to me. Hope you guys like it. Reall helped make the coins bigger as mine were way too small...I am so bad with Gimp and technology...you can't imagine how poor my skills are in that regard. Thank you, Reall, for being a star! :heart:

Here's my write up - more like thoughts. She is connected to the Hermit, after all. ;)

___________________________________________

The Nine of Pentacles

I am alone in this space and it suits me just fine. I have everything I need, although not necessarily everything that I want. And, that's okay...I place my books on the living room table and head for the divan.

Yes, it can get lonely. The loneliness is a reminder of a longing that no one can satiate. I long for its own sake. It builds character, refinement and beauty.

I remove my clothes and set them to the side. I stretch my arms out and close my eyes. I am alive. I am protected. The fabric of the sofa feels soft against my skin. I take a deep breath and then sigh. I can hear the sound of chirping birds through the open window. I can smell the scent of roses from the garden and a hint of sandalwood from yesterday's incense burning.

I remember what he said to me when we first met, "Love is too expensive. I'll never give that way, again. I can't. I won't." I tell him I don't need his money. I can take care of myself. I do take care of myself. He thinks I'm pretty...kind...generous...intelligent...but, that his heart is off limits. Am I not worthy of love? Or, is it he who feels unworthy? I know what he wants but he dare not pay for what he wants because he's cheap and I'm not. I don't need him or anyone...not like that. I deserve better. I would rather be alone and content in my own being than in company and be miserable.

I've sent the correct sized card to gregs. She'll sort it for me.

The text stands.

**********

XIII - Death

Death rides a pale horse
And takes
Hopes and dreams and fears
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers.

Death is the plague wind
The hard rain
The knife in the hand of an enemy
The kiss from the lips of a friend.

The wheel turns
And this is
The moment of pleading
Of grieving
Of Death.

*******

Good luck with the rest of the deck.
