Work in Progress - a "clue"

Post by arlecchino »

Hi everyone! I have an idea I'm working on for a card, and I want to check first of all that nobody's doing the same thing, and that it makes sense (unclear whether that can be possible at this stage, I'm not one of those people who can think in words and sentences so apologies for rambling).

In the other threads people seem divided whether or not to make this deck tied to the current pandemic or not. So I'm reading about fungi and thinking in a kind of related vein, the mycelium and root systems are constantly touching each other, and all these creatures (fungi, plants, humans, bacteria, viruses...) are filled with each other. So I wanted to use the image of this subterranean and/or internal labyrinth of roots and mycelium.

Then relating to "Star and Crown" my first thought was Corona Borealis (Ariadne's crown). In one story the light of the crown is used to escape the labyrinth. So here's what I have as a possibly cliche fungal mythological sketch:

Again, please let me know if you're already doing something relating to Corona Borealis, and I will try a different approach!
