Yes, I am nearly finished with the project - well, with what I have to do on the 'puter for it, anyway! :abanana:
Thing is, ALL the images have to be printed out & then DRAWN as colored pencil drawings. The computer images were done at 72 dpi, which as it turns out is unpublishable. :( VERY upset when I finally got THAT straight!!
However: :D
I believe that I will make short work of the drawings in question. They will be more cohesive, & I think very beautiful.
Ok:
For those of you NOT in the know (probably everyone by this time!), this deck is one composed of Celtic artifacts translated into Tarot imagery. It has been something like 3 years in the making (already), & now, all I have to do is the final grunt-work. :hahugh:
I am going to take this deck to Schiffer Publishing. They are rather small, but up-&-coming on the publishing front; I am an active Aeclectic Tarot forumite, & they have already published 2 of their members.
I have another idea whose time has not yet come; they proved VERY interested in that idea when I spoke to them about it, but unfortunately it is SO all-consuming in terms of time, money & space, I just cannot pursue it with the attention that it deserves at this point in time - it will have to wait for more of the above to get done, I'm afraid! (It involves photography with some digital enhancement added.)
This idea really is not as far from the other as it might appear on the surface, as they both involve the incorporation of the 3rd dimension into their fabrics.
Just wanted to let peeps know that I AM working, & that it may even be not too long until something is SEEN!! :D
