Button Soup is REAL
The printing is done and the shipper is now preparing all the packages.
With any luck, the first packages should start arriving on doorsteps at the beginning of February.
In the meanwhile, the printer sent me these pics just before leaving for 3 weeks holiday for Chinese New Year.
Please click on the images and have a close look at the card faces and how the gold-foil details turned out.

Absolutely gorgeous ! Better than I'd imagined even.
Such great news !!
I can't believe how quickly this all went. From start to finish it just went all so smoothly. We can all be proud of ourselves.

Re: Button Soup is REAL
I always thought of this as our "first" deck, a kind of "test-balloon" to work out the processes etc. and just to have fun. I wasn't sure we'd even finish it.
I don't want to speak too soon, because I haven't actually held the deck in my hands yet, but I think I can tell from the pictures that the result is really good, so much more than I thought it could be when we started.
One thing, and again, I don't want to speak too soon, but from the pics it looks so cohesive even though there are 40+ artists contributing.
I am really excited to get this deck.
Our next one is really going to be great. Next time I think we'll really know what we are doing. I know I learned a lot.
But that won't be starting until May or so. By then we will all be ready for the next adventure.
I have to say, we did really good on this one.

I love the box !! And that's it li'l white book and not a Little White Book!!
Edited to add: I had also doubted we'd finish it when it was proposed. Not really doubted, but sort of of unsure. I thought we'd never get enough people for all the cards. That's why I very timidly suggested right at the beginning that we start with the Majors. I thought at least we'll have a Majors only deck.

I don't know why I wrote "l'il" . It wasn't planned. It just came out when I was doing the LWB cover and I loved it! It made me laugh and it felt right.

Re: Button Soup is REAL
Thanks! Yes the project has taken off and it’s very exciting. It has also inspired a lot of people to start creating decks of their own, and I think that’s so cool. I have also decided that I will attempt to illustrate my own deck, in the same style as the cards I’ve made for We Are One. It’s daunting yet exhilarating at the same time. I’m sure you know the feeling!Joan Marie wrote: ↑25 Jan 2020, 10:00 Thank you so much Raggydoll. I wish you great luck with your group deck over at TT&M.

Re: Button Soup is REAL
I received my copy. It's stunning and beautiful and I didn't ever think it would be THIS good. I knew it would be good, but really, it's amazing.
I did a reading with it when I received it to see how low my battery levels are and if I should worry that I may soon be running on empty. The answer I got was beyond my expectations. So thanks to Julianne Victoria for her great video on the unboxing - and also her 9 of Wands.
And thanks to everyone who contributed and all those who supported the first Cult of Tarot tarot deck. And a huge thanks to Joan Marie for the terrific job she did to manage all this.

Well, have you opened it yet ? You're not of the impatient kind I see.

Re: Button Soup is REAL
There are 2 kinds of people in this world.
I'll bet Charlie Brown was one of those people who, in the old days, when he took film to get developed would pick it up, pay for it, go home, make a cup of tea and then eventually open the envelope and look at his photos at the kitchen table.
I am the type who after paying, immediately ripped open the envelope and stood right there at the checkout rifling through my photos while people stepped around me.

What, you never had a camera that used film that you had to take somewhere to be developed?

Re: Button Soup is REAL
I do aspire to that but, really, I'm just going to get upset when I see my cards because I'll feel like they're so much worse than everybody else's and bring the deck down into the gutter.Joan Marie wrote: ↑02 Feb 2020, 17:20 I'll bet Charlie Brown was one of those people who, in the old days, when he took film to get developed would pick it up, pay for it, go home, make a cup of tea and then eventually open the envelope and look at his photos at the kitchen table.

Re: Button Soup is REAL
Nonsense. When you see your Sun card, you'll see how absolutely wonderful it looks with the gold frame and all. It's gorgeous. I remember someone in a thread saying that the Sun card was one of their "favs". And the Tower is dreamy and mysterious. It reminds me somewhat of the Tower in one of the historical decks - I can't remember which one. You've avoided the Armageddon of the Waite and that's a great relief !Charlie Brown wrote: ↑03 Feb 2020, 00:37

I love your cards. They're not yours anyway. They're ours - you no longer have any personal claim to them.
