Hey Dan. Do you fan your tarot decks. That would be one he'll of a fan hehe :lol: funny man. That's why I said spread, not fan. But I'll take it as a challenge to fan these bad boys now that the finish will allow it. Who knows, maybe this marks a new age for cardistry. Über tarot fans! Viva la Taro...

I've been on the fence about these (Con: It's a tarot deck, Pro: It's UUSI), but these being printed by EPCC makes it much more probable that I'll be in on these. Thanks for the update, Linnea! You're welcome, Tom! And very cool to hear you are interested in the Uusi Tarot now. I agree with you com...

Very excited for the project, im always in ! Did you have alternative back designs ? I find this one a little too simple ? We did try a smaller pattern that also looked great, but we really loved the modernism of this design. It's a more "artistic" back design, perhaps along the lines of ...

Hey Linnea, what printer do you plan on using? As much as I love tarots and have several myself, the one thing that's bothered me is their inability to spread well. Hi Eoghann! We are excited to be using EPCC on this deck. We've been working with Bill Kalush closely on the decks production and we w...

Hello! This is Linnea from Uusi. I was headed over here today to post about our new Tarot and saw there was already a thread for it – you guys don't miss a thing! First off, I see that you have picked up on some of the deck's stylistic influences – very cool. "BRuT" 's inspiration is a mix...

Hey everybody - Thanks so much for starting a thread on the Uusi Classic deck design! (thanks for posting Eoghann!) We were just on our way over here today to let everybody know about an Uusi Classic gilded deck giveaway on our FB page. The giveaway will happen on this Thursday on our page with the ...

Hi Sher! No, the deck will not stick together more the longer you wait on breaking it. Once the sizing (which is really just linseed oil) has set with the gold leaf the gilding process is essentially finished. Since traditional gilding is more an art form than a machined process, the drying time for...

Hey Everyone, Just saw this post! Does anyone have a gilding question they'd like answered? Pete is in the shop (always!), but I'm working in the office today and would be happy to answer any questions you have on our gilded decks or the gilding process. From quickly scanning this thread I see you a...

...and we're down to the final 3 hours countdown: "Live at 10AM!". I'm hoping Linnea and Peter didn't have a sleepless night and got some rest because today's going to be a busy day! Hotcakes for breakfast, anyone? Woo Hoooo!!!! Hour and a half to launch!!!! https://farm3.staticflickr.com...

you can't beat the armchair enjoyment of watching a lot of work happen in about 2 minutes :D Linnea Linnea, do you remember approximately how long it took to shoot the video? As in, how long the video would be if it weren't sped up? Hey Robert, Peter's and my segments took about 15 minutes each. No...

Just saw all this! We wanted to get back to some of the comments here with the first being the change in the "Hotcakes" back: We did tweak them, and you guys were the reason :) Peter and I took a good long look at them after Volantangel, MagicFingerz and MontecarloJoe made some very stron...

Ah now im liking it more than before, honestly it was making my brain hurt in the computer render lol. Uusi are you looking to do gilded edges for these ? on a slightly separate note, could you post pictures of the gilded pagan decks once they are done ? I would love to see the results ! Good to he...

FWIW, I was lukewarm on this project (Hotcakes, I'm talking about, not Madperson and Bone), but the more I see, the more I like. I actually find that the newest version of the backs works really well with the overall feeling of the deck. I've gone from "well, I'll probably get one of each colo...

@magikfingerz – but how would the lace stay together if it weren't sewn to the fishnet? It would just fall off and then...yes...there would be a whole lot more skin showing!

@montecarlojoe - Think sexy, French, fishnet lingerie. If it was a solid color it would read more like UN-breathable, girdle-like Spanx. The point is to see a little skin

I wish they would go with a more simple back design, large flow-y colourful pucci-inspired back design similar to whatever little clothes the courts have on. With courts like these, i think having a similarly styled back design would be better Hey Volantangel - sorry to hear you don't like the new ...

Hi Kai! We just saw this thread! We loved looking at all the photographs of decks in your collection. What really comes through in all of the shots is how much you value these objects and also, how much they inspire you creatively. It is not easy to be both behind and in front of the camera, but you...

I'd have to look back at the Pagan updates, but I think they sold 30 of 50 total decks for $75 each one per customer late in that campaign. I was happy to get one, it's an important variant of their series. Hey Mike, you're right - we limited the 22KT Gilded decks to 30 in our Pagan KS project and ...

You are quite right Volantangle - We felt the theme and the look of the courts needed a much more playful looking set of pips.

I'm going to be very curious to see if the more risqué nature of this deck affects sales. Having said that, I am certain this will fund within the first day. I love how colorful this deck is so far, and color is one of the reasons why Bohemia is one of my favorite decks of all time. The early days ...

We know there has been quite a lot of discussion here whether or not USPCC would have an issue with printing "Hotcakes" - just wanted to let you know that they don't. We have approval from their legal department and should "Hotcakes" get funded it will be printed by USPCC. Schwin...

Just wanted to clock in and say thanks for the great feedback so far! Love reading the ideas and hilarious train-of-thought on the deck theme, you're ideas on the tuck wrap are pretty right on with some of ours! The sneak peek image we showed is just a hint of whats ahead.

I can't wait to see the box Peter comes up with for this deck :lol: You know a vintage style "peep show" shadow box design. Couple of nice drawers to hold a couple decks, but look through an end or angled viewfinder opening and see the queen of hearts, etc. Single card slot, etc..Some orn...

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to give you a sneak "peep" at Hotcakes! And by the thread here it looks like you guys already sniffed out the theme of the deck, which is basically a send-up on a "nudie" deck. Aside from the obvious "inspiration" and without giving too much awa...

OK, this was not supposed to be announced until noon tomorrow (Monday, the 24th), but it's too late to put the "cat back in the bag" at this point. I'm going to work on this post for a while and try to make about 1/2 of what I had intended to put into it by noon tomorrow and go ahead and ...

Just wanted to give you guys an update on the Pagan deck and post a new pic of the card backs and also the Jack of Spades. Aside from all the artwork on the court cards and pips being hand painted in oil, the card back design was also completely hand painted by Linnea. Just a heads up for those inte...

Thanks, Emmanuel! And no, it's not inspired by Kitsune, but love that reference! Our deck is in the same vein as that, but its more our interpretation of early Central & Northern Europe Pagan Era – hence the title of the deck, "Pagan".
