🗡 The Queen + King of Swords from the Whimsy Woods Tarot 🌳
I shared this regal silver fox queen before, but never shared her mate! Here are the Queen and King side by side in their enchanted forest domain.
The Whimsy Woods Tarot is coming March 2027, created by me + author Deborah Blake, published by Llewellyn. Every card from this deck was handpainted. I frequently delved into my travel photo archives for reference - this background is from my trip to Norway!

My first Anthrocon was awesome, and it was lovely to have so many people come to my table who knew my work, who loved Tarot of the Owls, and who were excited about the upcoming Whimsy Woods Tarot! Always lovely to meet new people too!
Next up, in three weeks, is Gen Con! I don't think I mentioned it yet, but I got off the wait list for the Art Show, so I'll be seeing some of you there!
