Thank you for Visiting our Campaign for our Musically Inspired Melodic Moods Tarot.

The Melodic Moods Tarot is a set of 78 stunning lyrical images inspired by many of the iconic singers of the 60's and 70's. Covering everything from rock and roll, late 60's psychedelic rock and pop, to the Disco Era of the 70's, with varying nationalities, races, genders, backgrounds and genres, the cards when placed side by side will weave a musical story throughout all of your readings.

The Making of Melodic Moods

Originally starting out as a "pet project" between main projects, over the years the "pet project" grew, with new artworks and new singers and lyrics added to the roster.

With all of the artwork being hand drawn, and hand colored (no A.I involved) a few years have been spent creating this deck of musically inspired cards.

 

A lot of planning has gone into creating the cards; planning the lyrics around the figures to make compelling artworks based around the colorful vibes of the songs.


Let the Cards Sing a Song For You Through The Power of Lyrics.

The words that are woven into the artwork of the cards are little snippets from the lyrics of the songs which we felt worked well when combined with the meanings of the cards. Sometimes they are merely the title of the song, for example the Ace of Coins, or The Magician card, while at other times they are whole verses, for example the 8 of Swords, or the Knight of Cups.


One of the biggest hurdles for this project, aside from drawing all those guitars (The guitar in the hermit card alone took me most of a day to draw), was choosing who should go where. With so many great singers, bands, musicians and songs to choose from, it's inevitable that some great choices will be left out.  However I see this more as a potential sequel, rather than a "problem". If this deck is fully funded and is received well, a sequel is not out of the question.


From the "British Invasion" icons to politically charged cards and disco themed cards, we have a diverse collection of cards in the deck representing 60's and 70's popular music.

 

We chose the song lyrics which we felt best represented the moods behind the cards. With colorful artwork and some well known faces, we think you'll enjoy the wide range of singers and songs throughout the entire deck.

 

Here's our complete collection of cards for the deck.

 

What We Need & What You Get

After five years of creating this epic collection of cards, the project has finally found it's way to completion and so we felt it was the right time to launch our crowdfunding campaign.

We understand that times are hard for people, so we try to keep our goals reasonable and seek funding only for the printing/shipping costs. We're asking for £6,000 to have the deck printed and shipped to us. If we receive more, this really helps fund our ability to create new work in the future, but £6,000 allows this particular project to become a reality.


We've always successfully delivered backer rewards, and in previous campaigns where we are not fully funded, we've went the print on demand option giving backers the products they've backed. Being fully funded allows us to eventually receive profit for our work when we finally sell excess decks after a campaign, but in the case of not reaching full funding, we make it our priority to still deliver the decks to backers.

Perk 1 - Early Bird - 1 copy of the Melodic Moods Tarot + Queen of Pentacles Pouch
This perk is for a single Melodic Moods Tarot deck with our limited edition "Gold Dust Woman"  velvet backed drawstring pouch which measures 125mm x 250mm.

Perk 2 - 1 copy of the Melodic Moods Tarot.

Perk 3  - The Duet -2 copies of Melodic Moods Tarot deck

Perk 4 - Supergroup : This perk offers 6 decks of the Melodic Moods Tarot, allowing you to buy for readers groups, friends, family etc.

While the Queen of Pentacles / Gold Dust Woman drawstring velvet pouch comes with the Early Bird perk, every perk has the option of adding on any of our other pouches. We have velvet draw string pouches in the Hierophant / My Sweet Lord, Justice / Instant Karma, Empress /Room For The Life and Strength / I Will Survive card designs.

Risks and Challenges


Counting this campaign we've had about 15 campaigns on Indiegogo now, so we feel that this should be enough to assure backers that we can be trusted with your contributions.
Even so, every project potentially has challenges; card designing and printing is no exception. However we foresee no problems ahead for the project.
For us, if ever there is a problem, it is generally related to shipping issues between the printer and ourselves which means slight delays. I would say about 9 times out of 10 everything is smooth sailing. We don't really foresee any potential delays with this project. We work with great printers and have a trusted freight forwarder.

We have full confidence the project will be printed and shipped without any problems.
Thank you so much for reading and considering our project. We appreciate it
James
