Back by Popular Demand!

For this swap we will fashion a single tarot card/fortune tellling card and send to two partners. How you want to design your card is completely up to you; the only real guidelines are: the back side of the card should be a neutral design and the fortune/tarot side should be capable of being reversed (i.e. the image should have a right side and a wrong side). 2) the design may be painted, drawn, stamped or ironed on, but it must be flat. So no 3-D glue-ons. (Stickers and other flat add on decorations are fine). For the sake of having a uniform deck please make the dimensions of each card: 11cm x 6cm (approx 4.33 by 2.36 inches)

On a separate piece of cardstock or paper you should write a brief description of the card's meaning in both its upright and its reversed positions. Example: let's say I design a card that features a rat. I might say that the upright position means ingenuity during hard times, survival at all costs, etc. The reverse meaning might be failure to make one's way. Again, it is up to you how you want to structure the cards. As long as we have a good group of participants I plan to run this once every month or so for the indefinite future so that those of us who want a "pack" will have one.

This swap is open to international participants. Please do not sign up unless you have a rating of 4.5 or higher and have sent all of your swaps. Feel free to contact me with questions.

Happy Swapping!

Do you mean 11cm x 6cm? Remember Stone Henge :)

cerwinrhiannon 04/ 2/2007 #

Two questions:

Is this about the size of an ATC?

Can the back be blank white?

Thanks-cr

yippie! I am excited

is it ONLY 1 card to how many 2 OR 3 partners???

mapps 04/ 5/2007 #

Hi:

Thanks for the comments and questions. Thanks to them, I went back and edited the description. You send one card to two partners for a total of two cards.

And yes, it will be 11cm by 6cm --which is bigger than an ATC.

Thanks for playing!

Is the description page to be like the card itself, in size, etc?

Thanks-cr

mapps 04/ 8/2007 #

Yes, the description page should be the same size as the card. Best, A

the fortune/tarot side should be capable of being reversed (i.e. the image should have a right side and a wrong side. I don't really understand this could you please explain

ribarnica 04/13/2007 #

Nathalie- As I understand it, the part you quoted just means that you should be able to tell when the face of the card has been turned top for bottom. This would be the case if you, for instance, had an image of a standing angel on the card (who would appear head down and feet up in the reversed position), but maybe not if the face of the card conisisted or , for instance, a pattern of coins. Of course, many tarot cards feature the name of the card across the bottom which makes it easy to tell when the card is reversed, whatever the design.

I received a very cool Death card from Shechanges. I really like it. For some reason I find barn owls fascinating.

Thanks!
