I am on a mission to rescue incomplete tarot decks and give them a second and meaningful life in new and exciting ways! One of these ways is reusing the cards as keychains, so that they can function as powerful talismans. Lady luck will pull your personal fortune keychain blind and you will receive it for free with your tarot deck order!
Another way I rescue tarot cards is by using them to make tarot collages: a mixed media art form. You can check it out here.
The specific tarot image inspires the design, such as the color palette that I use for the wooden housing. The cut-out is placed in its new home. Then I varnish it all. On the backside I attach a hook so the image can be hung, but it can also stand by itself. The title of the piece as well as information on the card deck can be found on the backside of the work. Each collage is a unique piece!
The tarot collages are archetypal pieces, which message addresses all layers of consciousness. All pieces are made from rescued tarot decks and designed as empowerment images. You can purchase your collage by clicking on the button below, or contact me if you want a specific design or card deck used.
Visitors at my stand at fairs love to pull a card from my fortune telling machine!
I got the idea from 1950s dutch fortune telling cards I bought at an auction: Lijnen in de hand (Lines in the hand). You can check out the cards here. These cardboard cards have texts on their flip-side that predict the future. They were used in a machine where you would place your hands on two metal plates, put a coin in and get your fortune card.
It is great to see how people reconnect with their inner child when they pull their fortune card! If you are interested in my fortune telling machine you can check it out here, visit it live at ♥️VielFach in Sonsbeck, or book me and I will bring it to your event!
