Outside our small safe place flies Mystery... A snake beneath the forest floor, a whisper: Melusine
 

In the summer of 2005, I started to design a 36 card Mlle. Lenormand fortunetelling system deck and never quite got around to finishing it.  Well, as the snow got to falling this last week, I was inspired enough to draw my way out of a lonely funk by going through my portfolio with the intent of reviving old works.  What motivated me this time was the dire fear that I may die without leaving a legacy behind.  It's like my work is the only legacy I have left to give.  I don't intend on having children, and I'm not married, so who else but you, out there, do I have to share this wonderful thing I do with?  I can't leave my drawings to gather dust anymore.  But enough about me blah-blah-blah-ing on about this.  If you'd like to find out more about Madame Lenormand and about these fortunetelling playing cards, I'll post an article about her later.  Consider this just a preview of a product I think would sell.  Let the images below ask for your approval:

Diamonds

Ace (The Sun), Jack (Scythe), King (Fish), Queen (Crossroads), Ten (Book), Nine (Coffin), Eight (Key), Seven (The Birds) -- this card is also sometimes shown as The Owls, but in this case I went with the former in tribute to an ancient alchemical symbol of three birds locked together which seems to fight the meanting, Six (Clover)
