My name is Liz, but you may have seen me around on Instagram as @rabbit_of_the_sun. I'm not a magician, a designer, a cardist, or even a collector, really. As of now, I only own a single deck, but I am privileged to be the wife of Matt (@bayou.playing.cards), and so to share my home with many incredible decks.
I also like helping Matt display his many beauties. I have gotten interested in playing cards mostly by proximity, but I am enjoying learning more and becoming familiar with the many talented designers, artists, magicians, producers, sellers, cardists, and collectors in the playing card community.My one deck is Thirdway Industries' Order Electus--a gift from Matt. The art is, of course, amazing--but what draws me to this deck in particular (and to Gio's decks in general) is the story behind the images. I love the mystery, intrigue, and meaning to be found in visual art, and I love the challenge of discovering the subtle messages in a deck. My favorite decks are picture-stories--individual works of art that, when put together, form a visual narrative. You won't be surprised to find that I am a lover of classic literature and poetry, and as such get very excited about literary decks of all kinds. I also love intricate details, foil, and metallic ink work (yes, Kyle, I like it shiny). Aside from literature, I love steampunk, vintage art and fashion, Victoriana, cats, foxes, rabbits, mythology, magical creatures, masquerade, and history--and there are wonderful decks that make good use of all of these things!
I hope to see you all around the forums!
