Chiming in late because that’s how I roll lately (get it? Roar! I crack me up)

My favorite of your decks is the Shapeshifter. It’s odd. I meant to type Fantastical Creatures but my fingers would not. Every time I typed Fa I hit Sh. Hmmmm.

Your art is mesmerizing because of the details. You do not skimp on detail. As an intuitive reader, that’s really important to me.

I do not read with any of your decks. I use the Animals Divine for meditation sometimes and have used the Shapeshifter to help plot some of Marilu Mann’s shifter tales.

I really think my favorite deck is the Fairy Tale one. Hee.

Thank you, Share. Your ongoing support is so appreciated. I’m glad we’re friends on facebook. Janet, your opinion means a lot, so I appreciate your candor and am so glad your favorite decks coincide with my own favorites. Thank you, friend.

Hi Lisa!

I own everything shown (LOL), and I think you get better with every product, to be honest!

Up until now, Fantastical Creatures has been my favorite (with Animals Divine a close second), but I have a feeling the Fairytale will trump them all!

Hugs and congrats, my friend!

Hi Lisa!

I know we usually do our chatting on facebook (and that Jack Frost painting I just saw on your fan page is indeed haunting and eerie in line with recent events) but I wanted to express my thanks and gratitude at all the many gorgeous and exquisite Tarots you have created over the years. Seeing them all together like that is so cool!

My favourite of yours has been Fantastical Creatures since it came out in 2007….but I KNOW when your Fairy Tale Tarot arrives it will be forever my favourite. But you probably already know that hehe!

I’ve honored to be apart of the creation of the FT and watch with awe and love as it came about day by day. I feel how wonderful it is to share this with the actual artist and creator and share the joys you have in your life, the accomplishments ….I think all of that will make this Tarot very very special and treasured to me…..much (much!) more than if I had just went and bought it at a store w/ knowing nothing about you.

Only a few more months!! I sure you can’t believe it’s almost time for your baby to go out into the world and transform lives…..

Hi Jenn, Dragonfae and of course, HearthCricket: It’s so great to hear from members of Aeclectic! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. HearthCricket, I love Tasha Tudor’s work. Her style seems so timeless and natural, even though her subject matter was definitely of the Victorian era persuasion. One of my first hardcover books I purchased on my own was Tasha’s rendition of The Secret Garden. I treasure that book and feel she made the story come alive with her lovely illustrations.

Thank you for your kind, thoughtful comments!

I am a member at Aeclectic also and that is where I first read about your fairy Tale tarot….I am waiting excitedly for it to be out…I’m soo looking forward to it. The illustrations look just beautiful and I adore fairy tales. Thanks for sharing your creative journey with us.

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey through the world of art to tarot deck creations! We have the same admiration for artists and I was particularly excited to see Tasha Tudor listed among them. In fact, I was in touch with her granddaughter Amy and told her how I read and collected tarot decks and thought Tasha would enjoy Animals Divine and the Fantastical Creatures. I sent a few pictures and apparently you received a thumbs up during tea time! I am sorry for her passing. She would have loved your upcoming Fairy Tale deck! The Fantastical is still my favourite, though the Fairy Tale will probably be fighting for first time. In the meantime, Animals Divine have recently spoke more to me and I have been working with it as a spirit guide deck! Seeing your various decks lined up like that really shows how you have grown as an artist, as well as a tarot deck creator! And as you know, I grew up on fairy tales and have never left them behind!! Keep the magic alive, Lisa! I look forward to this new deck, as well as future ones!!

You have a good eye, Julia! Yes, in fact the 10 of Pentacles in FTT is East of the Sun West of the Moon. In this case, I dedicate it to you and all the prosperity ahead! That piece is probably one of my top 10 faves in the deck. I will post a larger version of it in a future post. Cat, given that you’re a fairy tale lady yourself, I’m not surprised that you’re gravitating to the fairy tale-themed deck. Thank you for your great comments.

Lisa I had no idea you had been working in tarot for this length of time. What a beautiful journey and record of your explorations.

They are all wonderful but I have a feeling the Fairy Tale tarot will be my favorite!

They all look gorgeous, although I must confess I don’t have any of yours…YET!
I’m very drawn to your fairy tale tarot as you know, but your painting style is so magical I love the atmosphere you can invoke.
Is that an East of the sun west of the moon painting I see at the bottom there? oooh…I must see if I can find that in your gallery!
