Icons

[mskala]

Here are some icons suitable for use with DW, expanding on the one I made for the community itself. They're made from scans of the 1909 "Pamela-A" deck, which is public domain; I've edited them just slightly in GIMP by removing the text along the bottoms, which doesn't add much when scaled down to icon size, and doing a contrast stretch to brighten the colours a little. Anybody else have tarot-related icons to share?



Maybe this could be the start of the mood-theme project. Anyone want to start suggesting cards (not necessarily major arcana) for individual moods? I think there's a list of like 40 moods needed to create a theme; I don't know what the desired image sizes are. Existing mood themes (like the "kanji" one I use in my personal journal) seem to include a fair bit of duplication, with the same image for several moods, though we probably have enough different cards that we don't need to do that much.

The Pamela-A deck is actually one of my favourites. The colours are vivid for its time, and the imagery rather unique.

I have a female version (http://pics.livejournal.com/awils1/pic/0001cs7y/g40) of the Star, which can be used by anybody to make an icon. I've also always loved the imagery of the Seven of Swords (http://pics.livejournal.com/awils1/pic/0001wwgk/g40) from the Gothic Tarot of Vampires, and the Page of Cups (http://pics.livejournal.com/awils1/pic/0001bfax/g40) from my RW deck.

An offering, though: .
