Starting out

I'm experimenting with different painting techniques for the Oracle Cards. This one is gouache on posterboard.

I'm experimenting with different kinds of backgrounds for the Oracle Cards. Today was gouache on posterboard.

Designing Oracle Cards

For years I've wanted to design my own cards, and I now feel I have enough life experience to get on with it. I feel that while using the cards of others works fine, nothing is more powerful than tools you've made with your own hands as you follow the inspiration of spirit. So here is a list of the cards I plan to make so far:

ORACLE CARDS
Light
Mysticism
Dark Side
Secrets
Opposites
Indulgence
Anxiety
Chaos
Self preservation
Survival
Comfort
Death
Transition
Love
Spell
Potions
Romance
Forest
Revenge
Cities
Country
Ocean
Mountain
Desert
Jungle
Self love
Narcissism
Compassion
Understanding
Serendipity
Be yourself
Integrity
Luck
Chance
Deception
Trickery
Honesty
Forgiveness
Vanity
Peace
Beauty
Generosity
Charity
Largesse
Independence
Misdirection
Mother nature
Greenman
Masks
Dolls
Public service
Humanities
Music
Androgyny
Prehistoric
Primal
Dreams
Psychic visions
Visionquest
Passion
Ecstasy

The cards will be square and will be collage, painting, drawing, and mixed media in a square format. I have 24 squares cut out and ready to go. This will be a big project. Wish me luck.
