Hello!
I thought I would share with you my progress on creating a collage Lenormand-style oracle deck. My deck will have 36 cards, of course. Most of the traditional Lenormand cards are included -- I've changed the names of a few cards. It's a mix of some different Lenormand & cartomancy styles really. But in my head they're synthesizing nicely! I'm sure some hardcore Lenormand fans will have minor heart attacks when they see how I've butchered their deck!!
The images I used are mostly from vintage advertisements and postcards. To the best of my knowledge, they're all in the public domain. If you notice an image that is not in the public domain, please let me know!
I have started a page on my website for the deck here: http://tarotbymelissa.com/oracledeck/
I have nine cards finished and some more in-progress, which I'll post when I have them finished. It's been a great way for me to get to know another form of cartomancy more intimately. Eventually I'd like to make a tarot deck too -- so this oracle has been a good way for me to get my feet wet in photoshop.
The "working title" won't be the title once it's finished (probably!). Hopefully something better will come to me. I'll post more about the individual meanings later too, once I have some of those thoughts more purified. In the meanwhile, I'll put a few cards here for you to view! You can see all the cards I have finished on my website in the above link.
I'd love to get some feedback! This is the first time I've ever tried anything like this and I'm really nervous to post it!
xox!
