Hello friends who use tarot decks and meditation cards - I'm working on my own line of cards

What sizes do you like to use (cards)

would you mind if some cards were horiztonal? (this deck does not have divination readings for being dealt up or down)

would you like a pouch to hold the cards (made of a nice fabric or leather) rather than a box and with extra pockets or secret pockets?

thank you!

any other advice as to weight of cards, varnish, borders vs borderless would be helpful!

right now deck is planned at 12, with at least 10 more to be added for 22 total.

(oh if I hadn't mentioned publicly, my deck consists of images for meditation based on gemstones, figures are male mythologic creatures such as selkies, kitsune, etc of different ethnicities and most probably nude or close to but never explicit, much in line with my recent Valentine) cards are designed as pretty images, and you can get as deep into the layers (symbolism as you like) I'm also doing a line of jewelry around the images, which can consist of the images, or only the gemstones - which you can take on and off necklaces, bracelets and rings according to which stone you feel like using that day.

Aquamarine is the first to be shown, I have the line work done, going to start colouring this weekend, I hope to have all 12 done in time for a calendar in the fall (not to mention the cards)

first 12 stones (may be subject to change)

Pumping fans for ideas - Jem the Movie

you remember the old 80s cartoon show Jem and the Holograms? Well, there is a group of guys making a reboot, they aren't consulting the original female creator of the show, they have no women on the creative team, and they are crowdsourcing to ask fans for ideas - hey, ideas for free! I wasn't a Jem fan, but I'm all about how women are represented, and how fans can be used and abused - note recent Supernatural on-spec tee design contest, where all rights of entrants are given to Cw forever, even if they don't win the lovely prize of $750 for shirts/merch that could possibly sell in the thousands.

more co-optitude and monetization of what is primarily a female endevor (fan art and fan fic) it's depressing.
