One of a Kind Miniature Tarot Parlor Shadowbox
The only Tarot Parlor of its kind, designed and crafted by hand. It is made of wood and the front is Plexiglas. Once the miniatures were secured in place, it was sealed and can't be opened. The Tarot Parlor contains an antique style chair (with magic wand leaning against it), a wooden bookcase with a selection of popular Tarot books & decks, along with a crystal ball & teacup. The side walls are covered with Ozvaldo Menegazzi's 'I Gatti Buffi' Cat Tarot wall paper and the back wall has purple & white striped wallpaper. There is a Fool card and two World cards from different decks framed and hung as well as my Lover's Tarot mirror, a Goddess, sculpture and small shelf with more esoteric knickknacks. The wooden counter has bowls and jars of beads, shells and other trinkets, Tarot decks, a phone and a book with the Sun & Moon cards displayed. The floor has deep purple carpeting. Victorian style lace paper is collaged on the outside of the shadow box, with purple paint and ribbon piping accents. Size: 11 1/4 inches tall x 13 1/3 '' wide x 4 3/4'' deep. Hand-signed original.

3D Tarot Art Boxes
Unique Tarot art boxes with different looks and sizes. Newer Hero's Journey deck sets  have a larger version of this style of handcrafted box featuring 3 cards from that deck. Each art box, no matter the size, has a smaller art work fastened on top, (collaged on thick cardstock to give more dimension). The inside top of the box also has artwork which has been collaged onto thick cardstock. There is a 3rd artwork on the bottom inside of the box (one box in the image below is open to reveal an Empress card on the inner lid and the Lucky Pack World card on the inside bottom of box). The top and bottom is larger than the center section, giving added distinction. And the bottom of box has 4 polished glass slippers.
The size of each art box shown on this page: 3 1/2" long x 2 1/2" wide and 1 1/4" deep.

TAROT DOLLS
Making Tarot dolls whenever the spirit inspires. Sewing beads and charms as well as a tiny Tarot card that characterize the personality of a Major Arcana doll. Adding a 'soul' (something inside representing a wish or focus) before finishing off with pop-up paints. A broach pin on the reverse side so the doll can be worn or used in ritual. Each one unique (once a doll is sold another may be created that looks different than the example shown, tho it will be just as charmed .) Each Tarot doll is a signed, one of a kind original. The size is around 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.
