Ace of Swords from my artist book, Tarot for the Misguided.

Belted Kingfisher. Traditional image in background: one sword.

Tarot reading: It’s clear as day what comes next.

3.4 inches width x 6.8 height. Fun fact: the original cards from the 1450’s Visconti/Sforza tarot decks were this size.

Materials: Fabriano Unica paper, encaustic wax, gray spray paint, dye, and varnish.

*These are all handmade and each one is slightly different from the other.
