Number of swap partners:	1
Description:
This swap will be an ongoing swap. We will have it every month for 21 months. But, you don't have to be involved with every swap. Please Pick and choose the ones you'd like to join. But, if you'd like a full set of the major Arcana, you'd want to join every one. :-) Every month we will select one card to make. Everyone will make the same card (i.e. the Fool) and send it to their partner. You may make the card traditional or be creative and make it very fun (such as: a collage of President Bush as the Fool card) or of course make the card within your own tradition or interpretation. Any type of medium will be acceptable (digital, painted, crayons, pen & ink, etc.) The only "confining" portion is that it must be playing card size (2.5" x 3.5"). That way, all cards will be uniform and have better functionality.A flat card with no dangling bits and/or heavily raised images is also preferred because some people may use these as an actual deck instead of just a beautiful piece of art.:-) Also, that way, all those that are going to join every swap will have a full "set" Have Fun and Start creating! Our Card for this one is: Justice

Hello. I would love to get in on these Tarot swaps. Just a couple of questions first. Are newbies welcome? Also, what card are u working on for this particular round? And what does the back of the card supposed to look like? (I was wondering how one could use the set for readings if they were not uniform on the back?) Or should we just do the back like a regular ATC with the name, artist and series # ? And lastly, will this continue after the cycle is finished to give people who jumped in in the middle a chance to procure a complete set? ...Also, I think this is a fabulous idea.I have been wanting to make my own set for years now, and never got around to it. This gives me just the motivation I need! (I might have to make 3 of each one. 1 for me, 1 for swap, and 1 for my portfolio, or a gift!!!)

Me again...please don't sign me up just yet, I want to see which card I'm going 2 be making. And I am new, so I want to finish the other couple swaps that I am already doing. (Don't want to bite off more than I can chew...would hate to disappoint!) But I will be done with those in plenty of time to sign up for this one; as long as newbies are welcome , that is. :) -CraftyChick1221

SORRY. Super Duh!!! Moment. I anwered 1 of my own questions right after I sent it. We'd be doing #12 Hanged Man? Right? But a confirmation on that, and answers to the other questions would still be helpfull. Thanx much!
