New from Fig Tree: The Butterfly Veil Oracle

Post by Pen »

An oracle created from watercolour paintings with an added 'spirit veil' of these beautiful and transformational creatures. The style is from a period in which I was experimenting with capturing the effects of bright sunlight, often with extreme methods such as using coarse sandpaper on the dry paint to create 'dazzle' on the brightest areas.

I've tried to keep each keyword unobtrusive, so as to work as a starting point rather than an instruction, and many are ambiguous and may also be understood metaphorically.

There are 63 cards, including a title card and an info card, which may be used to decorate the white tuck box, and the cards are 3.5" x 5".

I hope you like them. :blush:

About halfway through the project I made an animoto video of some of the cards, although a few of the keywords have been changed since then.
