UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Meadowlarkdecks' follow-up to Pharmacy will be Blue Jay Dentistry. It'll be designed by no other than Elettra Deganello (Pinocchio, Florentia, Bold).
For now only the joker and the ace of hearts have to do.

I like the whimsicalness already.

That ace is beautiful. Simplistic, but exploding with customization, thematically consistent. Can't wait to see more.

I'm proud of Elettra and how she is BOLDly growing in the playing cards industry

I can't wait to see some court cards.

Some updates from Elettra's instagram.

this looks really nice, she is really talented! Cant wait to get the Florentia decks!

The Joker is adorable. I'd love to see some more adorbs enter the deck somehow. Wonderful joker.

Really fun style. Very playful. Almost looks like scandinavian screen print for childrens book. Fresh

I like these more than the Bold or first Meadowlark courts but it's still not really a style I like unconditionally. I would have wished for more in the direction of the joker. Still a cool deck.
Some prototype updates:

There has to be a blue jay on the front somewhere..

Kickstarter campaign launch planned for 17th of November.

I like that the medical and bird sides are a bit more balanced in this design. My only issue with Meadowlark was that it felt completely like a bird deck and you had to search for the pharmaceutical ties. The two themes feel more tied in on this deck.

Hello there! I try not to meddle in the conversations regarding the designs I work on. I always get very embarrassed for the kind comments (I literally hide my face behind my scarf while being at the office, with eyes wide open) and usually feel like I'm nosing around where I shouldn't. BUT I'd like to contaminate this safe place with some fresh images and details, in case you like it.

By the way - and this is an important note - the project will be pretty much based on the opposition among dental care and those foods that are harmful to the teeth.
The text "Indulge. Brush. Repeat." on the flap well summarizes this opposition.
Blue-Jays are kinda the mascot of this dispute and you'll find them here and there (on the front of the tucks as well).

Since the realization of the prototype, the whole project has grown so much on the quality of the illustrations and on the thematic coherence, as well as on the details. I really can't wait to show you some illustrations I've been working on, I really can't wait.

As a start, here we go with the first one-eyed court ever shown (this kind of court was actually absent in the Meadowlark deck) and with some new patterns. Oh yes also colors have changed

^ So you're the same artist for the BOLD deck, makes sense since the courts look the way they do.

So far with this deck, I like what I'm seeing.

I wonder if the "secret deck" will be made available to everyone else as a stretch goal. The highest tier is already getting 2 of them.

i gotta say i didn't even know its launched. went in and backed the chronicles set.
the black liquorice gilded edition features ombre gilding (pink/blue)

edited: as per latest update, the 'secret deck' can be added on backerkit for everyone.
why are people still waiting for? go back it

I just went ahead and pledged 2 of everything except the prototype deck just so I won't have F.O.M.O.

I backed for the 4-deck collector's box, hoping it turns out well

This special brick box houses 4 decks including: 1 Silver Frosting Edition, 1 Silver Frosting GILDED Edition, 1 Black Liquorice Edition, and 1 Black Liquorice GILDED Edition. With four layers of embossing, hidden sugary details within the artwork, and topped with holographic foil, this box will not disappoint. It's the perfect way to display the 4 special decks in the series.

NOTE: Renders are nearly impossible to illustrate the box, so we are currently working on printing them. Pictures coming soon!

Meanwhile Passione teased the collector's box on KS:

sweet tooth collector's box (with free carat case similar to DS1)

embossed, silver + holographic foil (btw, it looks great)

"secret deck" sugar crave edition tuck box preview

available in backerkit

Sugar Crave edition
standard/gilded available in backerkit

court features gold metallic ink, 2 different tones of pink

P.S. campaign ending soon. seriously go check out the black liquorice edition if anyone hasn't. the holographic shine of the tuck box on certain angles is just crazy.

Are the cards the same?

I hope not but the backs of the cards are pink and black.

I dropped out of the top tier since The Sugar Crave will be on backerkit. No need for the box and extra decks.

I received my decks this week. This was a very good project. All of the decks come in the DS1 case.

NOTE: The art is the same across both decks. The only difference is the Black Licorice Deck has a holographic foil background. Unknown if the add-on deck contains the same art.
