Tarot, pt. 2 (High Priestess + Empress)

Hellooo!! :)

Okay, so today I made the fourth tarot card for my deck (The Empress), and thought it was about time to share this card, and the card representing the High Priestess here, too. ^_^

I will say something about each card underneath. Let*s start, shall we?

The High Priestess (II) :

So, what to say? The card itself, as you may know, refers to one*s intuition, and to following the latter. My sister* said the woman here looks like Iustitia (I hope I spelled her name right), but that was not my intention. She is holding her book as this symbolizes wisdom, and the notes and the blindfold point to her intuition (At least to me that makes perfect sense ;D!). She is following her intuition and doing what she feels is right for her, creating a new surrounding.

The next card is the Empress (III) :

Now this card shows a pregnant woman in nature who is enjoying the beauty of the plants, water, etc. surrounding her. She is standing in a pond, and in the background there is a bunny (It is supposed to be one!) and the water circles of Atlantis ^^. The card "Empress" stands for fertility and what this can create in one*s life. :)


The mediums used for colouring them were a pencil, and crayons, and colour felt-tips. I hope you like them. If you want to, you may always comment on the posts; I am looking forward to hearing from you!!

Memes ...!

I found a great page recently with many, many memes for yourself to work your way through ;D. Of course, some seemed really interesting to me. I will be posting my results from two memes on here, which are *drum roll, please!* :

The 30 Day Photography Challenge & the 30 Day Super Awesome Drawing Challenge ...

It will start as soon as possible ;D. Probably even today, but I cannot promise this yet. I am still working my way through two other memes, and still -- I really want to do this!

I have to admit, photography-wise I am not a really big talent, because I have no real account of anything I took a photo of. I also remember when I tried, my hands started shaking, like in panic. I don*t know why, though. Maybe it will vanish when I practice a little, and maybe photography will turn out a really great new hobby for me ;D. I also like the way it makes you be as open for the results as possible by only naming subjects but no "You have to do this and this and this". Much room for creativity!!

As for drawing ... Well ... Yeah, I love drawing :D. I am looking forward to it, really. :)

Also, I wanted to ask something. Does anybody of you know of any competitions/challenges for people writing blogs on any creative subject? That*d be awesome!!

Feel free to comment~!

Haiku tiiime!! :)

I wrote some haiku lately, and wanted to share them with you of course :). Hope you will like them; I also posted them on DeviantART already ...

Dawn

Morning has come now

Birds are singing all night long

It*s fading away

Underneath the Surface

Colours claiming life

It*s impossible to win

Once they tell a lie

Rain

Writing stories is

Like rain pouring down on me

It can*t be broken

The last one was written today, when I wanted to use my self-made book (I really made a book recently. Paperback type!) for the first time. It will be a creative-idea-collection book then. *nods*

I hope you like them all. "Dawn" and "Underneath the Surface" were written really, really early one day (It was still night.). Maybe that helps interpreting them :P.

Tarot :) (Fool + Magician)

Ohhh yeaaah. ^^

How have you guys been recently? I have been rather busy I guess ^^. But I decided to get creative today, and start working on my first full self-made tarot deck. Of course, I wanted to start off with my favourite card of every tarot deck, the FOOL. It was based on another FOOL card I have once made, and then lost (No comment), and I WUV it. And you know what WUV stands for. "Willy uses victory". Imagine Willy to be a Pokémon ...

Anyways, here is my beautiful, beautiful FOOL card ("Narr" is German of course ^^) :

Don*t you just simply love it? It was made with crayons and colour felt-tips, and yes, he has a cat face. ^^ It is an adventure that just begins, and it is playful, it is a bit (or a lot) surrealism-inspired ... I hope you like it just as much as I do. ^^

And here is the second one, and the last one I made today, the MAGICIAN ("Magier" in German) :

The book has "Es ist Dein Weg." written on it, which translates as "It is your way." I am aware that the magician himself doesn*t show up here, but I wanted to create the sense of "It is YOUR time to take the initiative!" ^^
