tarot cards
woodland creature themed tarot cards. hand lacquer-transferred/silkscreened and stitched. each animal has a meaning and number out of the 21 trump cards in a deck of tarot cards. the images were lacquer transferred and then hand stitched. the back of each card has a gold dreamcatcher silkscreened on it. The name "tarot" came from the egyptian words tar, meaning "royal", and ro, meaning "road", and that the tarot therefore represented a "royal road" to wisdom. i decided to sew the latin translation "regius via" on the front of the cloth case.
