Hi everyone,

I have more detailed decks on he horizon but wanted to share this simple deck design I began last year.

The theme is the Japanese lucky cat, so far these are ideas I have drafted on this theme.

Good to see you still working on deck designs, Stacey

The one thing I feel like pointing out right away is that the back design you show seems like it can very easily be made two-way by just mirroring the cat. But this presents another issue (which sprouts would undoubtedly point out), which is that the eye is drawn to the top first, and if the back design were to be mirrored like I said one would see the upside-down side first.

In any case, I think if a back design can be made two-way without sacrificing too much of the art and/or the creator's vision of the deck, it should be.

Hi,

good to hear from you. I actually have a different back design which is mirrored I will upload when it is ready. There are a few extra unfinished pieces to put together. More soon.

Absolutely agree. I love everything about this deck so far except the one way back.

That's one very cute and lucky cat! Looking forward to seeing more - and curious about the two-way back design as well
