I trimmed my holy light it is awesome! The page of cups words are cut but still visible . I always use my world as the template since it is the goal ! Worked perfectly💗
Oh wow! That IS beautiful.... first your first deck edging you should be thrilled with the result. Well done George! It does look ‘Dope’ The ink won’t rub off after a few hours. Btw the way, nice to see you! And I live your cool intro. I’d love something like that, can I ask what app or software package you used to create it? 🙏🏼📿
Hermit’s Cave hi simon! it’s dope indeed! Haha I got the cool affect with an Instagram filter. When you go to make an Instagram story it gives you options for different filters. Let me know if you are able to do it/find it
I have edging issues. Edging is so tricky! What i have learned is after edging each card i lay every card down on an old bed sheet in the living room and i have to let it dry over night. You cannot stack them an hour after edging because it not completely dry due to lamination on some cards and will start to smear above and below on every card and then of course the ink will smear and set in the worst possible spot. You do have a bit of time right after edging to wipe off extra ink and smears with a paper towel before it sets. You have to check front and back of every card. I do have Windsor pens but have not seen the metallics at Hobby Lobby so i will check again or order on Amazon. The blue looks good though.
Celtic Morning Star oh, thank you for the great advice. I stacked the cards after an hour... I’ll have to do a second coat and lay them out over night. Thank you!
Hi Gale, Love the new name.💚 I was thinking of edging my deck in that blue, looks great. Wondering about all the white and the markers bleeding might bug me. I thought of trimming to no borders then edging. Still waiting for mine to arrive I will see how it feels when it's in my hand. Cheers Joyce
J R I thought it would bug me, but I’m ok with the small bleeding on the back of the cards. The blue just looks perfect on this deck. Trimming and edging this deck could look awesome!
Phew! - I thought I was the only one who disliked the art on the Druidcraft. I'm still waiting to find a "Celtic" / Druidry / Nature Spirituality themed deck with art that I like.
Phoenix Rising I don’t think I’d have the stamina for that! The deck that comes closest to the “feel” I want is the Raven’s Prophecy, but even it lacks the dark/light tonal contrast I want from a deck with that kind of theme. I guess something will come along eventually :-)
I just took the plunge with edging my decks as well, and got the same markers as you plus that large black chisel sharpie. I have mixed feelings about them, how did you end up liking them? My markers got really frayed and rough after I edged a deck and I think I possibly got a dried out batch from amazon because they were rather light at times. But I really like the colors! Also learned the hard way with how they rub off, I get so much on my hands. But your mods look good!

Phoenix Rising No, I can only see you partaking off ‘shots’ and cavorting with some pretty ladies! 😆

Page of Swords I have yet to find a Celtic tarot deck I like... maybe we should make our own! Lol

mattie I’m having the same issue with the pen getting frayed after edging just one deck... I love the look! I’m glad I did it.
