You go girl!!! What a fantastic idea!!! I love bears and know this is going to be very special!!! Hope we will be able to get one!!
Thanks for the encouragement, Quester.
This was kind of a 'forced' idea ... I just couldn't find a deck with enough bears in it!
I just wish I wasn't such a perfectionist ...that always drags things on... eeekkk
As far as the members here getting a copy of this deck...they will be able to download all
the images and make their own...and I will be giving out instructions, at the end, on how
to print out (etc.) your own bear deck. Plus I am posting each finished card photo in this thread as it is done.
Your 3 of cups is wonderful!
Thank you for liking my 3 of Cups...I really like it too...it is simple and clean...
BUT you would have laughed if you would have seen the little skirts and bras I had on those
three bears yesterday before I decided that less is better (on bears!) LOL
I thought of making 2 versions of the deck, you know, one serious, and one really funny...
however I don't have time for all of that right now.
Maybe (if this one turns out okay) I might make another deck (funnier) for us that like to play!
But for Gladys's xmas gift Bear deck I need to stay focused, serious, and classy with it...as that is what she is!
@everyone:
This morning I read my 'horoscope for today':
"Success depends on applying your efforts faithfully.
So don't lose heart. Keep symbols near to remind you
what your work is all about. If you don't have such symbols,
create them."
Wow...the key is 'faithfully'...and I am doing that...I go to sleep thinking 'bear cards' and
I wake up thinking 'bear cards.' And as far as "keeping symbols near to remind me what the
graphic work is for each card," means that I need to keep a corresponding RW tarot card nearby,
as I work on each of these!
AND the part about "If you don't have such symbols, create them" ... means that I still
need to CREATE 'more' symbols for the cards, such as the wand and the sword (the coin
and cup I already created)...
So I feel like my horoscope today was a direct guidance message to me about creating this deck.
So this must be something I am supposed to accomplish for some reason beyond the fact
that it originally was meant for ONE Bear Tarot gift to a dear neighbor friend.
Thank you for all the encouragement, everyone! I am think of having a contest at
the end of this, giving away one 'printed and laminated' copy of this Bear deck...
I am also thinking of having a little 'Name the Bear tarot deck' contest (a little later).
The prize would probably be...not sure yet...but thinking about it...could be just a 'gift certificate'
on amazon.com to buy your own deck! But you would need to find the deck on AT's deck pages
and buy through the link on that page that directs you to amazon.com. I think you can then
retrieve your gift certificate money to pay for it at the same time.
We do need to keep supporting our beloved AT FORUM...imagine what it would be like 'without' it???!!??? YIKES!!!
Okay...I am off to work on another card!
BEAR HUGS!
