Bag O' Goodies

All kinds of goodies were inside the wonderful bag I showed you yesterday, as seen above in this group photo. What a generous gift from friend Jaye. First is a very cute pair of socks that actually fit pretty well, a new to me tarot deck that has lovely illustrations. True Grips to make my rulers less slippery, Bohin chalk marker, pins, lighted needle threader, scissorFobz to protect the tips of scissors in bags.

A very lovely smudge stick, sage and wildflowers, which I will use on a nice day when I can open windows and doors.

A new to me sort of pen, Lamy, the barrel is a nice size for my hand, it writes super smooth and easy.  I really love the big clip on the lid and the intense color.

A SumoGrip eraser, it goes with my favorite mechanical pencil as seen above. That bigger barrel size really works well for me, and wow does this eraser work really well. I like the unique plunger style too.

And finally, two really cool enamel pins by The Gray Muse, very inspirational!

Two New Tarot Cards

Here are two new tarot cards that I created for a recent collaborative tarot deck put together by RedDog, you can see some more of the majors at the Capolan website.



Temperance #14

The blending and balancing of opposites is the goal in one’s life. Make a conscious and unconscious effort to achieve harmony between the emotions and the intellect. An emphasis on using your creativity, welcoming transformation, practicing meditation, and achieving moderation, all in moderation.

A woman pours the gold into the silver(conscious and unconscious), all four elements are represented, the water(image of water, the earth(the stone woman), the air(growing lotuses) and the fire (sunlight on flowers).








Four of Cups

Cups represent water, emotions, relationships.
The four of cups means: Disregarding offered gifts from the divine. Being stuck in your own emotions. Solitude, introspection, a time of contemplation, the beginnings of self-awareness. Also, world-weariness, discontent with materialism.
Emotional energy turned inward to search for self-understanding.

The blue represents the watery basis of the card, four divine hands offering gifts, a watery, misty background, and a man deep in thought and contemplation.
