I've stalled at the moment, I have some images and a clear idea, but house hunting picked up steam, and assorted other junk demands some attention, perhaps I will work on it this weekend. I am sort of overflowing with energy, I just needs to direct it.

I'm poking and prodding, and thinking and plotting and I've downloaded some images, and next I need to start digging through the scrap pile...sometime that is the most tedious thing...one of these days I am going to mail off my entire collection of for-future-collage-use images just so I don't have to look through them again.

Still in housework mode, but the weather is cooling rapidly which should make it easier to settle in to creative work.

3x5 is a good proportion. I'll probably work bigger, then size down.

Kathleen 2009-04-11T02:26:07Z Ms. Smart http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#04412409-a313-4367-8960-706c971d0b80 2009-04-11T00:09:43Z 2009-04-11T00:09:43Z

I am so "The Emperor" hee hee really So what proportions do we want to work in? We can always size them down I just measured a set of tarot cards 3 x 5 You guys good with that?

Ms. Smart 2009-04-11T00:09:43Z Kathleen http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#3455e5e6-cac2-4b1f-8247-a9ea59082210 2009-04-10T14:06:30Z 2009-04-10T14:06:30Z

I'm in and putting thinking on hold until after today. Last day before spring break! Yay! This will be fun! Barb, you are SO the HIgh Priestess!

Kathleen 2009-04-10T14:06:30Z Barbary Blue http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#af77cf83-f237-4ae3-89d8-21e0a1783be9 2009-04-10T06:32:52Z 2009-04-10T06:32:52Z

I am in. And thinking...

Barbary Blue 2009-04-10T06:32:52Z Ms. Smart http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#c43bcffa-0254-48ea-a37b-d3be05185a78 2009-04-10T05:13:01Z 2009-04-10T05:13:01Z

Okay how bout this... We all make our number card now. And we figure a way to exchange cards with each other - so we all have one of each, yeah? We then think about the process and where we would like to go with it. How we could, how many cards, over what time period, the commitment to do this... I have been thinking about it already. I am thinking of what style to use to make cards - drawing, collage, photoshop art?!?!?! writing!!!! Who's in? Kathleen, Barbary Bluebells, me and anyone else?

Ms. Smart 2009-04-10T05:13:01Z Barbary Blue http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#113b7205-3b8a-4e7b-a515-98287213c7f3 2009-04-10T00:55:34Z 2009-04-10T00:55:34Z

The Emperor. I'm a 2, I think, which would give me the Priestess. Maybe we could each do our life number major arcana card...and then another one we like. I'd be willing to do any of them really. Or maybe it would be more challenging to do one we don't like, I've always hated the Hierophant. Are we going to see if anybody else is interested?

Barbary Blue 2009-04-10T00:55:34Z Ms. Smart http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#8a5d7402-405c-4fcc-9355-1b7c49d54d8e 2009-04-09T03:57:33Z 2009-04-09T03:57:33Z

My number is 4, who's that?

Ms. Smart 2009-04-09T03:57:33Z Ms. Smart http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#774d3789-c6ab-4217-afd9-78e43eb88b8d 2009-04-09T03:54:34Z 2009-04-09T03:54:34Z

Oh, I'm all titter with excitement over this Yes, let's do it I'd be down for splitting up a set. Maybe we could find a fourth person and each one design a type of card and split up the major arcana. This is a big project but what a freaking cool ass one! Barbary - where did you order cards from? I have some resources available as well. :) Color copies for free. I also work with lots of print vendors if we decide to go that route... Maybe we'll be famous!!! Tribe Tarot Cards Barbleen Smart Tarot Cards BKS Tarot Cards Well what do you think? Shall we agree on a card or two to start? To begin, shall we pick one major and one of the suite cards to design? The life number card thing Kathleen posted? Is anyone else interested in this? And yes, I am still loving the trading art cards thing as well. This is exciting!

Ms. Smart 2009-04-09T03:54:34Z Kathleen http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#e403ef13-39d3-4397-ad6d-bd718fdf9495 2009-04-08T23:22:05Z 2009-04-08T23:22:05Z

No, I could even get behind that one. I'd love it if we could assemble a Tarot set. Or at least some of the major arcana. What if we each did our life card? That's where you add up all the numbers in the date of your birth. The first number under 22 is it. For me, it's 1960+07+30= 1997. 1+9+9+7= 26. 2+6=8. Mine's 8. I'm Strength. Then we can figure out how to get them all printed cheaply. Maybe Ms. Smart knows how. Could be any media. I have a set of cards that are appliqued fabrics and trims.

Hey I know you were really into that artist trading card thing a while back...I keep meaning to do some...maybe we could do that for a trade. It's a fairly small project, maybe we could even do a Tarot theme...or is that just too selfish. Foisting my pet project onto everyone else? ; )

Hey guys I have always wanted to make tarot cards Maybe we could collectively make a set?!?!?! that would friggin' rock I am well Life is good not making any art Growing mentally and prespectively (like more perspectives, expanding) I am doing a lot of thinking!

Barb, I'd love to see your tarot cards! You can always make individual greeting cards from them, too! I'm not creating anything new these days. Too much else going on. I miss it, but would just feel overwhelmed if I started anything else right now.

Kathleen 2009-04-07T23:57:47Z Mema http://craftytrade.tribe.net/thread/9ad32330-90ec-4dc6-aeb0-1e5f715bbcd5#8102f437-1ea6-47e1-a8a3-471c486fc506 2009-04-07T20:08:56Z 2009-04-07T20:08:56Z

Well this winter I made 2 commisioned pieces and just yesterday worked on a design for a window for a friend who just built a new house. Before they started the house they asked if I would make a stained glass window. I have also been making mirrors with stained glass around them. These are fairly quick and I really love the looks. Yesterday actually started cutting out a sign for my shop. Has the shop name and the phone number with a profile of a woman with long flowing hair. I designed the window probably 3 years ago. Guess it is past time I got it finished.

Well I got all inspired to do a tarot deck. I started the Fool card (my favorite) and got it mostly filled in, gathered some random pieces for other cards...and stopped. It's still in the works...I ordered blank playing cards the other day. I think I am going to make them as larger pieces and then scan and print smaller to fit on the cards (this way too I could do the printing and numbers in PhotoShop). I imagine I will be working on it for years. And then my less expansive project was to make a carrying case for my little netbook. I have an empty box that some lotions came in and I sort of started using it as a lap desk, so I was thinking of finishing the box and making it a combo lap desk and case. I just can't decide how to proceed, I started out thinking I would cover the outside and inside with fabric, but now I am thinking inside with fabric outside a collage...
