Version 7 certainly brings out the Lenormand 'fish' in a big way...now, I like photo A of version 5 and I also like the version 7 this way. in fact, since we are talking about the fish card, with it being about , I am thinking that version 7 here is the best fit.
Thank you for helping me with this!
That makes two 'likes' for version 7 so far...Version 7 has really become the most attractive one for me....with Version 5 [probably A] as a close 2nd
Thank you, my sis!
LadyZelda, i will go back to the 12. BIRDS card again and see what you are talking about...Birds card:
The Shabby Chic flowers do help to harmonize the card with the others. Pity that the trellis didn't work out...somehow, it feels like something is missing but I can't figure out how it could be worked out. Unless….. [and don't feel obligated to try if it is too much trouble]… adding on the top of the card, like a "pearly curtain" (this is going to be hard to explain), you know these tiny white flowers, hanging down (really looks like a string of white pearls) I saw that at a wedding... It hangs like an uneven curtain, some strings shorter,(maybe like shorter where you have the title, they would be actually behind and fall shorter...) others longer (like in the corners and going shorter as they go toward the title)...and if after that the card looks too busy, maybe cutting a bit on the roses in the foreground like keeping the one upfront and removing or blurring those that wrap around on the back/left????
i am just afraid of overdoing the card and throwing it off too much...as it has so many flowers
on it now...but maybe the idea of the pearl curtain might work...let me work on it today, my friend...
Oh, and i did come across a photo of a 'thin' white wrought iron trellis that could have worked
but i didn't save the photo...will have to try to find it again and see if you like that in case
you don't like the pearl curtain...
LadyZelda, you know, i am thinking that this card is very important to you and why don't i justLadyZelda said:Fish Card:
I still my Version 5 and for me it is the 5 B with the 3 gold fish...I went for the 3 because the symbolism of this number matches perfect with the meaning of the card...
But I have to admit that Version 7 reworked is gorgeous! And the "Adventure" part of the card is better seen in version 7. The first one was too busy and now it is in perfect balance.
Nonetheless, I still have a weakness for version 5 B
add your 'version B' FISH card to the deck as an 'extra' card...just for you?
i think we are going to have extra cards in this deck... ...why not?...as this card
seems to be getting center stage
So now, so far, in the deck we have '3' FISH cards: (this way you have a choice which one you want to use).
Version 2 - Jelly Fish (extra card)
Version 5-B - Fish 'shaped' bowl (extra card)
Version 7 - Tall fish tank (main card)
Thank you so much LadyZelda for bringing your thoughts here...
LadyZelda, if you were here, i am sure we would be wild with ideas LOL... Seriously, though,Still thinking about the Birds Card...An idea popped up, I was looking again and maybe the solution would be to leave less room at the bottom of the card, like bringing the Birds Bath lower (give some foreground but not as much) with still some Shabby Chic rose at the base of it...In that case the Birds would not be too close to the title and the "pearly/tiny flowers uneven white curtain on the top would hang just right. Like the composition would not be too busy, would retain depth but these birds would be "framed" in a Shabby Chic Style....
The thing is I wish I could show an image of what I see in my mind, it is really not easy to explain with words....If I could have been by your side, I would have sketch my idea...
i really do appreciate your thoughts on these cards as i know that you are an avid Lenormand reader and teacher.
So i do value your ideas... plus it does make this journey 'very' interesting with everyone's input...
So, the thought of doing something more 'shabby chic' at the top of the 12. BIRDS card is
in my mind now and i will play with the card today... and hope that you will like the finished card...
i think i can picture what you are saying...
ROFLMAO... you guys are really funny...and no, none of you are driving me nuts at all...Okay, my final vote is for 7--the Fish tank--it is really gorgeous!
But,i do like the Fish shaped bowl, now,too--5A or 5B.
You don't dare ask me about the bird card...[i am now having a totally different vision involving a shabby chic bird cage and a yellow bird. ] Oi, i feel like we are going to drive our precious Lyn nutty. i am getting on my own nerves!
and it actually is helping me to, shall i say, 'perfect' the cards
...Keep the ideas coming...no problem...however, my sis, i do love my blue birds
...okay...going now to find some 'pearl' type curtains for them...
HUGS, everyone,
Lyn
