My friend Meagan was asking today while we were at Kinko's making copies for tonight's "test the deck night" of the Lunar Maria Oracle cards and map I am in the process of making. These cards and map are based on the Lunar Maria, astrology, cycles of time, and originates from 44 hand embroidered and dyed images I made over the last several years in Portland and Iceland. Megan asked what the cards were made of.....I said, an old wool blanket that I had cut up while nursing my second baby Lucia. I had made nursing pads to catch the milk drips when I had produced too much milk for my baby. Years after weaning her, I started embroidering on these old wool nursing pads that I had made out of the wool blanket. Now they are the original cards for the upcoming Lunar Maria Oracle Deck.

Thank you to the Portland School of Astrology for hosting my 'test the deck' night. I learned so much! I have decided to scale back the project to be 44 cards with a booklet.
The 44 cards will be available in 3 ways: paper cards w/ paper booklet, & fabric pouch, fabric cards w/ paper booklet & fabric bag, or DIY fabric cards that you cut & sew together, w/ paper booklet & fabric bag. These DIY fabric cards will only be available for the online stitching group and those interested in getting together in this way.
