Motifs

like any ruling family each suit of cards has it's own symbols. I was starting to think about the design for the back of the cards and I thought that I could perhaps incorporate these symbols into a pattern? what do you think?

Ten of Clubs


This card is dedicated to Ben Mounsey on his birthday. Ben is very talented and a tip-top chap http://www.greenglasses.co.uk/


These ten birds sit upon the branches of the club-leaf tree on the lower forest floor. The spades sometimes try to capture them to make cloaks from their feathers....but mostly they are left to quietly survey the land...
