My birthday's well and duly over, but I still wanted to celebrate with some lions from my collection of favorites, seeing that I'm a Leo.

:thumb80277542:



First off, I raced past my 200.000 pageviews the other day, thanks to a few die-hard watchers who really, really, really wanted to snag a Harry Potter tarot. Well, it ended up happening to three folks - fortunately I had four decks to go round, thanks to a goof with getting the prints in the first place. So congratulations to:

:iconriabhach: :iconbrindlelady: :iconnokomissnape:


I sent out the decks yesterday in letter-sized padded orange envelopes, so be on the look-out. Hope you like them! Also of course thank-you to everyone who has watched me these past years, has come back, commented and faved my art! I wouldn't be here without you.

Also :icontavington: tagged me with the dreaded 6-Factoid-Tag, and I thought to do something with numbers this time:

1. I was born on a 13th, so I decided to make that my lucky, rather than my unlucky number.

2. My unlucky number is 17 instead.

3. I have a hate-hate relationship with numbers, they don't like me and I don't like them. - I always get them turned around and messed up and they repaid my disrespect by making me get abysmal grades in math.

4. I am totally cool with numbers when it comes to geometry. Once I can add my spatial imagination, things work great.

5. I have a "magical" weight number I keep going back to, no matter how much I put on around the holidays, no matter how much I shed on a diet. I turn my back and don't pay attention, and blam - I'm back at 144 (US) pounds.

6. - And this is totally random: when you add up all the digits of my cell-phone number you get 58, add those digits and you get 13 - see, lucky number

Not tagging any one as usual

OMG!!! :excited: I honestly was shocked when I won....was a right pain in the arse getting the screenshot too (linux doesn't like that sort of thing I guess).

:hug: Thank you again Elly, this is just too cool for words.

I'm glad you got it, though. Now I just hope the deck gets to you quickly and without any PO snafus!

Elly...Merlin's beard woman...

These cards are more beautiful in person than I could have ever imagined. I'm seriously torn. Do I use them or do I just treasure them?

They came in the mail today, and I am just amazed by how wonderful they are. I may need to purchase another set once they are available so that I can keep one in pristine condition and one to actually use.

Oh, an idea just in case you haven't thought of it. I'd love a book that explains each card and why you chose the person/picture you did. Of course, I know that would take ages, but I love all of your comments about the cards and that would just pull the set together.

:hug: Thank you again Elly...I honestly am still in shock that these works of art are in my possession. :love:

I am so glad you got them. I guess you were one day behind the other two parcels so I was a little worried. Of course I am very happy you like them so much - the printer did a great job with them preserving a lot of detail from the originals even on such a small scale, and I think they are no more fragile than commercially printed cards. (At least I hope).

As for the booklet explaining the cards I am currently working on it, and my DA comments help a lot as I revisit the pages where I posted them and use some of the explanatory text there to help me along. That should speed up the process somewhat. So far I have done all the majors and will hopefully have a copy for you by the time I can send the 6s to the 10s.

Oh cool! Great minds think alike then eh?

My friend Mandi loves them as well, she was surprised at Salazaar, she was like "Oh, who's he, he's hot!" I laughed at that one. I guess Slytherins are just naturally hotter :)
