Dear Barbara,
V/R is in the calendar!! How exciting! I thought we weren't going to be in this one, because the publication date is still so far out.
It's on page 35, near the end. Two cards illustrating the "Round Dance of Tarot" article: Ace of Coins and The World. They look good! The detail shows up pretty well. Especially the Ace -- that one looks terrific; every bit as crisp as I would have wished for. The World card, on the other hand, is a bit blurry, especially the acrobat's arms and legs. But these images are small; the cards will be much bigger. So I think the details will print even better on the real cards.
Did you pick the cards? They aren't the images that I would have chosen, but I really like how they turned out. They put a border around the images that I like too. Just a plain line, looks to be about a half point thick. I hope they do that for the actual cards too.
We're credited as "Victoria Regina Tarot by Sarah Ovenall; additional text by Georg Patterson." Is that how our names are going to appear on the package? It's more efficient, though I feel like it portrays Georg's contribution as smaller than it really is. Maybe that's what the outer box will say, but the book cover will say "by Georg Patterson and Sarah Ovenall" like we wanted. He really did more than half the writing so I want his name to be first on the book cover.
I went ahead and set up a separate web journal for the art car. That way this journal won't get cluttered up with endless descriptions of my car. It's probably a bit obsessive of me, but at least it gives me the chance to play with different formats for Greymatter. Here's the address of the car journal:
