    Make Your Own Tarot Box!

    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        Thanks!

        It starts looking sharp once the felt lining is added. I've got the pics for that part done, and hope to post it tonight.

          Nice job. I made a box for my Tarot out of leather.

            Lovely!!

            You can probably get boxes like this at your local craft store as well. I made a matching beaded jewelry set one year for my mom and put it in its own decorated box like that (hello, ModPodge!). Michaels and Ben Franklin (ooh, there is a BF in Yorktown!!)--even JoAnn's, which is more of a fabric store has a wood stuff section.

              Very cool! Can you post a picture?

              Thalassa - yeah, if you happen to live near civilization, you can get these at craft stores. There is a JoAnn's, where I have seen them at times.

              But they are very easy to get in assorted sizes, either from a local sotre or over the internet.

              P.S. There may be some Modpodge around here in the near future...

              Well, hopefully my less than adequate internet connection will let me post this...

                    Thanks, Madness & Dez!

                    Wait till you see it with the tiles on. I have the pattern laid out, and it looks pretty sharp.

                    These little stone tiles I'm using are very nice - they have a nice tactile quality; not hard and smooth, not sharp and rough, but kind of "soft" as if they have very, very short fuzz on them. I was thinking that if somebody wanted to make a rune set, these would be a real good choice. A person could paint the rune on with nail polish, which would last for a long time.

                          Thanks, Dez. I think I'll put this one up for sale on my website, and see what happens...

                              I have a few more of these boxes. I'm going to try a couple of other things - I've figured out a clever way to hide a secret compartment...

                              No, it's not a false bottom... Much more clever... I'll show you how it works when I get back to doing boxes.
