Magic egg traveling bag to hold tarot cards and other pagan goodies-Dargons and Wizards

LOOKING FOR A TAROT CASE THAT HAS A FERTILITY   and masculine influence ?

I really enjoyed making this egg bag. I don't usually work with wizards or male influenced images, but I had made a box for my son that used a wizard and some ancient medieval alchemical symbols and when I saw this vintage 1960s egg case somehow the wizard and these wild dragons seemed to fit. As we know lizards or dragons lay eggs, so I guess it does fit. I really like the inside image of the universal depicted as an egg. 

I know that their are many male tarot readers out there, perhaps this might work for them, I liked the fishnet being pulled to expose the image, In this case I did not varnish over it , as I usually do, I love the tactile  nature you receive when you rub your hands over it.

Experienced tarot reader for over 30 years. I have always used the Rider-Waite cards and as Wikipedia tells us "While the images are deceptively simple, almost child-like, the details and backgrounds hold a wealth of symbolism."

I have been written about in several papers for my abilities,interviewed on T.V. and attended many psychic fairs as a featured reader.

I begin my reading with the Doreen Virtue Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards, to find which Goddess is influencing your reading and whom is with you at this time."The goddesses are angelic, powerful, loving beings who want to help you with every part of your life." 44 oracle cards show cross-cultural goddesses,each to help you giving you a specific message to improve your "life, health, relationships, finances, career, and spiritual path." some of the Goddess are Kuan Yin, Laksmi, Brigit, Isis, and Athena, as well as goddesses from Celtic, Mayan, Egyptian, Greek, Tibetan, Buddhist, and other traditions.

The Symbolon Tarot deck which helps to recreate memories from past lives. These beautiful cards show images from European myths and history, and on each corner of the card are astrological symbols. While designed for psychological or memory work, they are also used as a divination tool. I lay these cards over the spread, to gain additional information on the reading or to reinforce the cards.

FEEDBACK FROM A CLIENT from my other online store from artfire
" I want to thank you so much you are truly gifted! My experience was wonderful, I am grateful for your insight, you took the time to answer and to go threw thoroughly all of my questions.You were charming and compassionate to my feelings.

I have had many readings on the phone and it seemed that I was always being charged more and more, because so many are by the minute, I choose your reading because I knew I would only pay US $25.00 and because of the amount of experience you have. You took over an hour and never once said "Time is up!"

I highly recommend you to others who are searching for answers in their struggles.

P.S. I liked the fact that I had the option to call you or have you call me. Thanks again. "

Recycled Boxes and Jewelry cases


Had such a great time making this box.When I was with my son and his girl frined delivery the sushi table and chair to his dorm room, we went thrifting  and I found several vintage dolls heads including this one. I had been holding on to this precious walnut made in Japan wood box and the colors of the head just seemed a prefect fit. I had no preconceived idea going into this piece, it just happened as most of my work does. It really has that 1970s feel with the fall color pallet I chose.

 

I love how her eyes look off to the side!

I have wanted to do vintage jewelry boxes for quite some time and began at last. This one was very nice leather but it was worn in many places and had lost its luster. I love how it turned out.

I used an image from an art book that worked so nicely with the leather, found this big vintage button that brought out the salmon tone in the image and these great acorn looking buttons plus belt buckle accents.

I gold foiled the lower part of the case which gave it an animal print feel.

the inside is lined with soft gold rabbit fur while the removable tray has its long necklace section lined with a rabbit piece. The inside top cover has quality super soft faux fur leopard print.

This case is traveling went with me to an art show for the weekend to Eureka Springs
Arkansas!
