We have not yet finalized our fulfillment strategy, considering two options: fulfilling all orders from China or utilizing our regular fulfillment centers in the USA and in Europe. The decision will depend on the number of decks ordered, the level of funding, and other factors.
We discussed prints today and have decided to proceed with them. However, as mentioned earlier, this will happen at a later stage.
That’s amazing news! Most of my prints come from galleries and print houses which are going to be very different than society6. I tend to find that there are usually local printers who have great pricing and can do much better than most of the larger websites. Might be worth looking into.montenzi wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2023 6:40 amWe discussed prints today and have decided to proceed with them. However, as mentioned earlier, this will happen at a later stage.
By the way, do you know of a service similar to Printify or Society6 that offers high-quality prints on premium art paper? Who are the best?
BTW, behind the scenes: the line art was hand-drawn and then digitized.

I agree, done!
I am Mila Victoria Losenko, an illustrator and author of the texts for this deck. Several years ago, I had the pleasure of working with tarot and creating the popular deck "Tarot of the Golden Wheel." After completing work on the first deck, I realized there would definitely be a need for a second and perhaps even a third. However, I also felt compelled to transcend the limitations of any one culture. After all, the fairy tale concept of a "path-road" exists in every country and epic. One can identify motifs contributing to the tarot system in any cultural tradition. It is the beginning of the path, with its inevitable crises, encounters, and the spiritual growth of the hero.
I was born in Weimar, Thuringia, Germany. The sources that have influenced my future creativity and aesthetic preferences crystallized during my childhood, even before I learned how to read. Among my first books were a collection of fairy tales and an illustrated catalog of the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Dresden Gallery of Old Masters). I've always been fascinated by the symbolic language of art. Every flower and every detail of a painting can tell a unique story that may not be obvious at first glance.
The path to becoming an illustrator proved to be quite challenging for me. However, I believe that it is precisely because of the difficulties and resistance from the environment that I discovered one of the most valuable qualities within myself—a stubborn belief that every individual has their own unique path, and deviating from it due to misunderstanding or disapproval means betraying oneself.
One tarot deck with a booklet is +/- 0.4kg. It's the weight of four poker decks. That's why.
That's very kind of you. Worldwide shipping has become a nightmare lately. Such a detriment to our community.montenzi wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 5:20 amOne tarot deck with a booklet is +/- 0.4kg. It's the weight of four poker decks. That's why.
You should also be aware that shipping is even more expensive for ALL destinations, so we will cover it from our profit. Every single backer pays less for shipping than it costs us.
Thank you! Yes, I confirm! But the deal is not active anymore.
What are you talking about?
Good question
Most likely, you will still get one coin (TBC). This question gave me an idea, but I need time to think about it. Thanks. That would be a most excellent way to reward your EB backers while still also providing that extra somethingsomething you want to include for each Tarot deck.

The idea is to have two coins: one exclusively for tarot decks and one available for first-day backers and for add-ons. <------ TBC!
We will use the same design for the Limited version of the deck, with slight color variations.
Often cards with customized pips are difficult to determine what suit they are when viewed alone, but this one is identifiable on its own despite being highly decorated. I love this one.
Thank you! Remember, it's a collaboration. I have made significant contributions to this project, but I am not the primary designer here.laitostarr777 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 4:56 am This will be my very first Montezzi deck on my collection XD
