In my last update, I left you all with digital mock ups of the deck. These were exciting for me to see, and bringing things together like that really helps when I’m making decisions about all the seemingly disparate details I’ve been chipping away at.

I wonder though, do digital mock ups undermine the excitement you might experience now when I sharephotos of my first printed mock up? I hope not, because on this side of the screen, being able to hold, shuffle, and pull a card from a full 78 card deck feels unreal. It sent my mind spiraling back to the first cards I had printed of the Major Arcana last year. As proud as I was, there is something distinctly dissatisfying about pulling cards from an incomplete deck. Having the whole deck in it’s almost final form is a bit of a relief really.
