This deck, with illustrations by Will Worthington of DruidCraft and Wildwood fame, will be published in Autumn 2013. In the meantime, here I will show you the background to the creative process, posting images and sections from the companion book, as well as readings, once more cards are ready.
So, welcome to the world of the Celtic Lenormand...

Still, the Rider will carry on, enthusiastically spreading his message - the Celtic Lenormand is on its way :)
Wahoo! Or whatever the Celtic equivalent of that would be. More tartan PJs!
ReplyDeleteHi Carla,
ReplyDeleteYes, I can't wait to start seeing the images in full colour! Should have one in a few weeks time...

I can imagine that the images will look great in colour ...
ReplyDeletebut ...
I have to say how much I love this as a sketch. It's so elegant and linear. Will you be writing the book Chloe?
Hi PLN,
DeleteYes, the cards are being created from my briefs, and I'll be writing the book :)
As for Will's artwork, I can hardly believe he calls this a "scribble"!

Some of us could work a lifetime and our final pieces wouldn't be as good as his preparatory work, lol.
ReplyDeleteWell, you say that, but I know you are a talented artist, too! As for me, though, I'm embarassed at the sketches I've sent along with a couple of the briefs to indicate proportions etc :o
DeleteMaybe the card backs could be one of his 'scribbles'. Maybe even this Rider scribble! I think for me it's going to become the logo for this deck.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting idea, Carla! I was thinking more of some kind of reversible celtic knotwork. Hmm...
DeleteHow exciting! I can't wait to see it unfold.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Siddaleah. I'm really excited, too :D
DeleteI want to know what's chasing him or what's waiting for him. This may make me more of a Lenormand fan. :D
ReplyDeleteHa, my take on it is that he's driving himself! I love that it can be seen so many ways :D
