This is a very special deck of Tarot cards, all constructed by hand, with gilding and delicate miniature painting in the tradition of Italian Renaissance illuminations. It is inspired by the luxury decks of the 15th Century, such as the famous Visconti-Sforza Tarot and 6 others I have chosen for various reasons. 

The deck will include 78 unique cards, each constructed by hand on 3.5 x 7″ pasteboard, gilt in genuine gold leaf, and painted using period pigments and hand made paint. Of course, I will rely on Cennini’s instruction to guide me. This requires a colossal amount of work and research, that has been in feeble early stages for many years. But, it is time to face the challenge. Stay tuned as I work my way through it and share my progress on Tarot Tuesdays.
