The text is written by the lovely Barbara Moore and the images by me, with her guidance and supervision throughout. The 'steampunk world' in the cards is mine and Barbara's, and has our own personal 'take' on things. I've kept it pretty Victorian, but it blurs occasionally.
Credits to some Steampunk Photoshop brushes a friend gave me, which were named 'hannarb'. Inspiration from John Singer Sargent (believe it or not), most images were drawn from scratch, apart from a couple for which I used my own reference or occasionally a pose from fashion sites or my huge folder of random imagery.
Anyway, a snapshot photo of the box and some of the cards, and suffice it to say, I never want to see another cog as long as I live!

Nifty! And will this be available for sale?
what a brilliant idea! I can't see them all that big but looks great from afar! :D
Ordered \o/
Thank you! Yes, it's for sale from all the usual place I believe!
Serge - you should have told me in advance you were going to! :)
Aly, can we order from you? Can you sign it?
Congratulations on finishing it! Wow, what a fantastic deck!! I had two preordered and received them a month or so ago. The Steampunk Tarot is quickly becoming my favorite deck to use. Thank you, thank you, thank you to you, Aly, and Barbara for bringing this deck to us!!
I love the Steampunk Tarot and I really hope with some distance, you will consider some more steampunk things as those are some of the best I have ever seen. Perhaps something without cogs ;)
Its always tempting to go inward during traumatic personal times, but some of the best work I ever done has been during and afterward such time and creating is so much better than just going through the motions of life to get through.
I wish I had read last week that you'd have them at Bristol Comic Con, would have sent a friend over to check them out.
Thank you again!
Drax - I have a few copies here. If you'd like to buy one via Paypal, please email me using the address on my website! :)
Cara - :)
Susan - Steampunky stuff often creeps into my work one way or another, it was what introduced me to Barbara Moore in the first place. Thank you!
My interest in steampunk led me to your Tarot deck, which looks fantastic. Where are the "usual places" you mention above where I can buy a deck? Also, I'm a Christopher Moore fan -- how exciting that you created the "Sacred Blue" cover art! Thanks for sharing your talent & imagination with us all. Regards, Deborah.
Sorry Deborah, I was a bit vague wasn't I! I was meaning places like Amazon, but of course there are other retailers available! :)
I just picked this up and I absolutely LOVE it! Beautiful work!!
Kimberland, hoorah! Thanks for the really positive feedback!
