Ace of Swords

I forgot the intervening steps, 

                       again

Oh well

We can't always be diligent and organized

I did a bit of gold and silver work on this one for the crown and the sword, there is a garnet bead in the pommel also

 

Ace of Swords Manifesting your thoughts into action

The meanings don't always have to be deep

as a matter of fact the more vague they are the better

This is so, I have always thought, when reading the cards for a someone who wants to know

They can imbue the meaning for themselves and plug that meaning, into where ever they need it for themselves

And the strength card

Don't they all look nice together on their shelf?

I also finished the Strength card

She's a fun one.

Her meaning is the gentile application of  help or persuasion

She is so calm, in the face of the pointy murder floof

Who is also so calm. This is his person, whom he trusts for pets and corrections. He is allowing her to what?

is she opening or closing the lions mouth?

if closing did she just give him a pill?

he's just a good kitty.

So that's all done for now

I have started a new thing,

 

Don't you just love that yummy green woven silk? 

Now that I have finally found something to do with the last little scrap I have of it

which will eventually become a small purse for my victorian chatelaine

 The victorians may have ruined a lot of things being all proper and colonial but my goodness were they an innovative bunch.

Addendum:

Several of you have asked where you could obtain a template for these, I did not use one, I drafted mine from the cards themselves, having several decks. 

The book Tarot made easy by Nancy Garen has line drawings in it of all 78 cards in the rider deck if you want to try that.
