[@justinmichaeltarot]

Aww Thanks so much Ang 😘 I’m glad you enjoyed hearing about it. I appreciate you my friend

[@wyomingwynne]

I've been circling this subject lately too and appreciate your sharing all this excellent info and your decks as additional reference. I also have been struggling with the paper / printing / laminating dilemmas that you initially encountered, so it was great to hear how you went about resolving those problems. Would love to see more specifics if you ever care to share. Thanks!

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Honestly it’s just pasting multiple layers of paper and trying different paper combinations.it’s a skill that you have to practice at. There are lots of variables to work out. I stick to mostly 3 sheets though I have done 4. I believe it’s a book called “the history of playing cards” that describes the historic process. You have to just experiment with that. When you get started you can always message me and I’ll be happy to help

[@WaterChildTarot]

The cards are so beautiful, Justin!! You did a fantastic job with the production on both of these. Fwiw I especially like the softer hues of the prototype deck - the white background doesn’t scream as much.

[@78consecratedcardsofart78]

They look great! I’ve been slowly putting together notebooks full of information to do my own deck and you have provided a lot of valuable insight here. I love the handmade craftsmanship aspect. Most of the good musicians I know and have worked with have a ton of talent in visual arts as well.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thank you my friend. The only thing that works is trial and error. You have to try different paper combinations. Thanks for watching my friend. When you start making them you can always message me. I’m happy to help

[@78consecratedcardsofart78]

@@justinmichaeltarot Awesome!

[@wanderingmountainbardicpath]

I am very blessed to have a deck crafted by your hands with the spirit of the group we inhabit together in it and I still need to do a video about it. Regardless of the version I have it is lovely. I can tell the care and love of the process that you put into the cards.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Yea if anything that was my first version. I was still not happy with my cards at that point. But they are nonetheless special. Just slightly different. I appreciate you my friend 🥰

[@susanqcitizen4868]

Love it. Thanks for sharing

[@biglizzzard]

Really interesting video! Thank you! You did a beautiful job on your deck and the book binding. I really enjoy learning about what goes into making a deck at home💜

[@justinmichaeltarot]

I’m glad you enjoyed 😘🥰 thank you my friend

[@nancyhart576]

Stunning work, Justin. Your devotion to crafting by hand is a real inspiration. I’ve never tried making cards but love sewing books by hand. Gearing up to try a leather cover. Thanks so much for the video!

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thabks Nancy. I’m practicing sewing text blocks.. it’s a work in progress. I need a plough I think

[@shelldavid-easttarot4585]

Justin, you are the Jimmy Page of Tarot deck craftsmanship. Your book binding skills are absolutely amazing too! Love your work. I’m so happy and blessed that I met someone as dedicated to Tarot card making as you are. Never stop creating!

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thanks you my friend. You str the man 😜🙏

[@edeletwin]

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thanks Edele!

[@DaniMystic]

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thanks Dani!! 🥰

[@6driscolls]

Absolutely fantastic, Justin!

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thanks Jessie!!

[@p1nesap]

Cool fascimles & bookbinding! Have you managed to reproduce decks for larger market? I'm in the US & buying decks from France is expensive.

[@albinnibla]

I love it! Period.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thank you Albin!!!

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

This is wonderful Justine. I've always wanted to create my own deck and what an inspiration you are. You should be proud. You mentioned you used a soap finish. Do you soap both sides or fronts or backs only, and do you mean bar soap like Ivory? Nice book bindings! xoxo ~ Marilyn

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Thank you soo much Marilyn. I’m extremely late getting back to you.. I’m just seeing this comment! 😘

[@thefoolsjournal]

So. Cool.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

The cat is out of the bag 😹 Hopefully explained things well. I had a lot of coffee

[@thefoolsjournal]

@@justinmichaeltarot🤣 cats hate bags! But this is rad.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

[@kathykerr1202]

Love love love. Sumptuous work, Justin!

[@justinmichaeltarot]

@@kathykerr1202 thanks Kathy 🥰

[@msafirstein]

What is the name of the company that you purchased the Tarot printed paper? I believe you said the company was in France. Great idea to rebind well used paperbacks.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Ohh Hollanders!!! I’ll put the link in info box!! Thanks for reminding me!! That paper is made in Italy

[@justinmichaeltarot]

Here is the link for you. I’ve seen it elsewhere too. hollanders.com/products/florentine-print-antique-books

[@msafirstein]

Thanks for the link. I have a desk in my tarot room and was looking for a tarot themed paper to line the drawers. This is perfect. You always have such great ideas and tips. Love your channel. Thanks again.
