Starting Yet Another creative project to put together my own oracle deck since the one I have is... I mean, it's alright. But I don't really vibe with the art or the card meanings as well as I'd like to. So obviously,,,, I gotta make my own huh.
Details under the cut for length because I'm rambling to myself as I flesh this idea out
I'm using this pad of smallish scrapbooking paper to make the cards since it's a thicker cardstock (and it has nice colors). I figure I'll sketch out my designs and then paint over them since this paper can handle paint without being destroyed. Perhaps a junk journal theme using my large collection of stickers.............
Undecided if I want to cut the papers own in size at all, since one of my main problems is that the oracle deck I have now is hard to shuffle due to card size. Which is... also my problem with most oracle decks, tbh. Scraps would be used for other projects and things. Smaller pages would also be easier to fill, using less materials and encouraging overlapping things for a fuller look.
The other issue with oracle decks is that they just don't vibe. The imagery is usually nice and all, but the cards themselves don't depict things that actually matter to me and my practice. Even if the theme matters or I like the art, there's always That One Card I just don't care for.
Oracle decks, to me, are meant to provide guidance rather than answers. Advice for next steps, inner strengths to draw on, or energetic focuses to improve or deal with a situation. They add color, context, and flavor to readings done with other cards. This deck will be no different. My goal is to create an oracle deck that specializes in general guidance and actionable advice in a broad sense.
As for theme... I mean, it makes sense to center it around The Lady, right? The ideals and imagery I associate with Her would be a good starting place, at least. Maybe a combination of symbols I look for in nature (transitory signals between seasons and parts of seasons) and the Lady's direct symbols.
A list of meanings......
The Lady - Fate as a force, the larger whole, direct message coming through
Yarn - Connections, weaving
Knots - Tying, making connections, fixed moments
Crossroads - Choices, split paths
Death - Change, endings
Mushrooms - Decay, afterlife, resilience
Bread - Creation, rising, hearth
Pen - Writing, creativity, keeping records
Book - History, learning, stories
Paint - Art, inspiration
Key - Opening doors, opportunity, answers
Lock - Secrets, blocked path, challenge, questions
Door - Passage, transition
Sea - Depth, tides, deep knowledge, mystery, movement (eternal)
River - Movement (fast), travel, change
Butterfly - Transformation, transition, trust, day
Moth - Transformation, transition, faith, night
Stars - Dreams, hope, wishes, stories
Void - Space, nothingness, in-between
Moon - Phases, visions, seeing in the dark
Clover - Luck, good fortune
Broken mirror - Bad luck, poor chances, mistakes
Dice - Chance, gambling, games
Playing cards (poker?) - Games, deception, skill
Spider/webs - Trap, sticky, pattern, weaving
Tarot - Divination, the future, advice
Seeds - Potential, sowing
Flowers - Growth, beauty, production, fleeting
Grave/headstone - Death, grief, memory
Candle - Ritual, altar
Lighthouse - Beacon, signs, lookout
Eyes - Knowing, seeing
Ghosts - Afterlife, spirits
Bees - Industry, teamwork
Sunrise/sunset - Beginnings, endings (the only reversible card?)
Leaves (different colors) - Changing seasons, time passing
......and probably more as I start putting these dang things together. Once they're finished, these cards will replace the ones I currently use for add-ons in paid readings. I'm looking forward to making these!!

2024-grimoire-challenge · 11 months ago

December Prep 2
Let's look into a couple of things this week The first is how to properly study, research and gather information and the second is the various kinds of prompts you will see in the challenge throughout the year.
The basic steps in any research process are
Identify and develop your topic (we will have multiple so it will be important to follow the same steps for each topic.)
Preliminary search for information - we will be gathering a list of resources for everyone before the challenge begins including websites, a list of recommended books, and more.
Locate the information/ materials - Gather all your sources into one place! A folder on your pc, or a bookmark bar in your browser can go a long way to helping you keep this organized.
Evaluate and use Discernment on your informational sources.
Take notes! - self explanatory. Using the resources at your disposal, take notes on your selected topic, gather all of those notes, and keep them organized. You don't need to think of this in exact terms of a research paper, but the idea is the same! All of your notes will be helpful in actually filling and creating the pages for your grimoire! But, you also can just keep the notes as they are in your grimoire!
Now lets get on to the types of prompts you will see!
Meditation/ Journal - these will generally be the end of every week and after every practical prompt, so you can look back at what you've done and learned, in order to help you process what you'd done and how you feel and think about it.
Research/ Study - these will include things like herbs, gems, types of magical practices and topics, tools, history
Practical/ Hands on - at least one a week, where you get your hands dirty, so to speak, and really perform some magic or do the work you're studying.
Submissions - I encourage everyone to share their thoughts, ideas, and physical progress within the challenge. You don't have to share pictures, if you're not comfortable, but thoughts and ideas and a short post about what you accomplished!
Holiday/ Seasonal posts - We'll have posts for the typical holidays and some that not so common.
Divination prompts - On occasion we'll have a divination prompt. It won't necessarily require you to perform any divination if you're not comfortable or don't know how, but the option will be there!
Cooking prompt - We've all seen those cool witchy inspired cooking posts on this site. So why not do one? Why not learn to make bread? Or mead? Or cute little pastries? Or anything. This'll be a new prompt, one I encourage everyone to take part in and share!
There may be more of these added as we go, but in general this is all of the types of posts we'll be seeing!
What else is there to do?
Well if you’ve already got notes somewhere (a notebook or files on your computer or what have you) you’re gonna want to actually design a grimoire right? And this is a grimoire challenge right? So let’s look at different design and style options!
If you’ve seen the video I posted of my grimoire pages, they’re very scrapbook/ junk journal styled. Which is a fun and totally customizable option.
Let’s look at some note taking methods, to help us take notes as well as design our grimoire pages, and some scrapbook supplies and ideas for ways to decorate our grimoires.
https://crm.org/news/note-taking-methods#:~:text=There%20are%20many%20different%20methods,and%20Bullet%20Method%2C%20among%20others.
These are just a few links for some ideas.
Your grimoire should suit you, no matter how you choose to design and decorate it. It could be a scrapbook like mine, a bullet note journal, or a leather bound tome with thick ink lettering in a cipher that only you can read. However you want to design it, it should be an expression of you and your practice.
I am excited to be running this challenge again, and to be helping all of your find inspiration for your practices and grimoires!
Good luck and happy crafting!

Visited the woods today and Mother Nature left me some incredible gifts:
Tumblr media
The Skull was the first thing I found, and I was amazed because it was so out in the open! I've kept it, after asking permission, and I'm sure it'll serve well in spells and perhaps I shall work with its spirit.
The teeth were found towards the end of my visit, and I pulled them from a damaged jaw bone - they will likely become a divinatory tool for me!
The shell is oyster-esque (but damaged) which was incredibly unusual since these woods are about 20 miles from a proper coast! I left it in the woods though, as I have many shells from my University area.
The other bone was left as well, I don't like to take too much and especially not when I have nothing to leave behind - I did not go there thinking I would be taking anything home!!
The egg shell I used as a small protective symbol while communicating with Mother Nature and the spirits, the two twigs were used as a quick and easy DIY divination tool to communicate!
I'll post more about the skull and teeth after they've been cleaned and I've had a chance to communicate with their spirits!

Pendulum 101
Post
Hey everyone, so we have a new (and first) post on our website about dowsing pendulums!
Tumblr media
In this post you'll learn:
how to use a pendulum (for divination, finding lost items, blockages, using charts and the 4 basic answers it gives)
pendulum care (cleansing, bonding and why not leave it lying around)
materials properties (common crystals used for pendulums and metals and wood)
how to make a pendulum (general tip for alternative pendulum choices)
If you're interested, it's better to visit the web page, as there it is way easier to orientate yourself in. However if you do wanna stay on the site, you can read it further in this post. And if you're looking for spiritual and witchy content, stop by from time to time 💜 On the webpage there is a Library that will soon fill up, and it'll be easier to find things there in form of web pages rather than tumblr posts.
The link: Pendulum
How to Use a Pendulum
This really depends on your beliefs. Some believe pendulum move on its own, or that a certain spirit is moving it. Others on the other hand believe that it is our own intuition that moves it - so that we are moving it through subtle moves of the fingers. Depending on where your beliefs lie, you may choose to either hold the end of the string/chain in between your index finger and thumb with your elbow on a solid surface, or hang it on something to make sure you’re not the one moving it.
If you would like to rather hang it, there are sites that sell stands for it, or some people like to DIY a pendulum jar/bottle - for that you basically grab a transparent jar and glue the pendulum chain to the middle of the lid, so that when you close it, the pendulum hangs freely in the middle of it. This ensures that no wind will tamper with it.
Some tech witches would probably also use some sort of an app or a website which randomly decides what the pendulum answers. Once again, this depends entirely on your beliefs, whether you believe in the accuracy of divination tools in electronics. Unfortunately I haven’t found a good website or an app that would simulate it well, but perhaps you’ll have better luck!
Now, when you first get a pendulum, other than cleansing it, you can also “calibrate” it. Either you can decide on how it should show each answer, or you can ask it to show you each. You can also ask it basic questions that you know the answer to to find out their meanings (and many people do that even after “calibrating” to check if everything fits). There are 4 basic moves of a pendulum:
Yes - usually either from front to back (like nodding your head), or side to side. As I mentioned before, you can also ask it to show you (“show me a yes”) and remember it or write it down somewhere.
No - once again, usually side to side (like shaking your head) or front to back.
Maybe - usually either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This often means that the answer to your question depends on different factors. Kind of like saying “yes if X, no if Y”. Sometimes certain spirits also like to say “maybe” a lot, in my experience it is a common thing amongst tricksters.
Don’t know / Can’t answer / Rephrase - once again, usually clockwise or counter-clockwise. Some pendulums actually merge “maybe” and “don’t know”. This means that either they do not want to tell you, or you asked a non-yes/no-question.
Another thing are charts - you can use a pendulum chart or board for questions that don’t have yes/no answers. And many also use a pendulum board that has the basic 4 motions on it as well! Super useful for forgetful people. There are many you can choose from, and you can also make your own. There are ones with a full on alphabet, so that it can give you custom answers. You can find many for example on Pinterest. It’s better to print them out, but there were many times I’ve simply opened one on my phone and held my pendulum over the screen.
Pendulum’s are also often used in energy works as a way to find some blockages, which areas need the most attention, etc. Basically in these things one person lies down flat on the stomach or back, and the other person holds the pendulum over their body, asking to point towards the areas. I believe that it is quite a common practice when you go to some reiki therapy.
There are also other ways of using your pendulum. It can be used to find a location that meets your specifications / where the object you’re looking for is located. That could be for example when you’ve lost something in your house, or when you want to look for an ingredient.
For finding something local, you usually ask yes/no questions for each of the rooms (if it’s inside a house, this step would be skipped if you already know the room or if you’re in a larger area). Alternatively, you could hold your pendulum over a sketch of the layout of the building to figure out the room. Then, you would ask for the direction and the pendulum will point towards the object. Make sure you’re standing in the doorway, because otherwise you might be going forwards when the pendulum was actually pointing behind you. You do this multiple times, also throwing in some questions like “am I near the object”, etc.
For finding something in a large area (like entire neighbourhood, or tips for trips to other states, finding ingredients, etc.) you can use your pendulum with a map. Then you ask it to point to the area where you will find it / that’s good for your vacation. You can once again do it multiple times, and if you’re going to search for something specific, you can then use the local way of finding things.
One more thing I’d like to talk about before moving on to taking care of a pendulum, is divination itself. When talking about divination, most people probably imagine fortune telling. Now I’m not saying that’s impossible, but the fact is, future is everchanging. The slightest of things can change it - that is why the further we’re reading, the more inaccurate it gets. When you do a reading (and I mean anything, be it pendulum or tarot) for today, it will be likely quite accurate, but the further away you do, it gets less and less accurate. And on top of that, we can often misinterpret things. So just keep this in mind when using your divination tools. I personally rather do readings for advice rather than fortune-telling.
  Pendulum care
When we talk about pendulum care, it’s mostly about cleansing. Why do we cleanse? Because most things collect some amount of negative energy through time. This is especially true for spiritual tools, including divination tools, because by doing spiritual things, we open the area (and ourselves) to the energies of the universe - which includes negative ones. Other than that we also always cleanse tools when we first obtain them, to rid them of any energy they were subjected to up till they got into our hands. This ensures they keep giving accurate answers and we don’t bring even more negative energy into our lives.
Another thing is bonding with your pendulum. Using it by itself of course also is a way of bonding, but there are other ways too. Bonding helps you be more in tune with its energy, makes your readings more accurate. And if you (like some other people) believe that each divination tool has its kind of spirit (I feel like this is really common among card readers, because those cards be acting sassy), you might want to bond for the sake of bonding. Now this is done through for example carrying it around with you and meditating with it. When you first get it, asking test questions (ones you already know the answer to) can be a good way to feel its energy as well. Just make sure it’s alright with test questions, some divination tools really don’t like those in my experience, at least when you’re acting distrustful.
Cleansing your pendulum can be done in multiple ways. If you’d like to use physical cleaning (with water) while focusing on cleansing it spiritually too, please make sure that whatever the material is can be washed. There are many crystals that react with water, and in some cases it can be harmful not only to the crystal, but also to you.
Another way you can cleanse is by sunlight or moonlight. I’ve seen multiple opinions on these - some say that some crystals would be better with sunlight while others with moonlight and that full moon is the best, because the moonlight is strongest. However I have found it more common for new moon to be a cleansing period. The energies of new moon leave behind what should be gotten rid of and starts with a clean slate. Charging crystals would be probably better in full moon though, yes. But crystals currently aren’t our topic. You also need to make sure how certain crystals react with sunlight - because some fade if left too long in it. It doesn’t damage them, but you might be disappointed if your beautiful amethyst pendulum suddenly starts losing its purple colour. 
There is also something called soundcleansing. Usually it’s done with tuning fork or a singing bowl, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. I often combine this with visualisation and clap my hands, hum, things like that. It is mostly believed that the vibrations are what cleanse. So you can also pull up youtube video with some sounds and it should work just fine.
And then there is visualisation and meditation.This one is even more flexible than the other methods. You sit down with your pendulum and meditate, then imagine perhaps the energies exchanging, getting rid of any dark spots (negative energy) and bringing in some positive energy (often either white or yellow). I often combine this with some movement like slamming one hand lightly against the other, like shaking the negative energy out, like a powder.
  Materials
And I’d also like to mention that it is good to put up some protections around the place you wanna keep it in (you can also make a protection for the sachet you keep it in. This keeps it from building up too much negative energy. Many people believe that if a crystal builds up way too much negative energy, they can break. As in, part of them can fully chip off. This is actually what happened to my pendulum unfortunately, as I did not keep it in a protected place. You can continue using it even after that, I still do, but it’s never a good thing nor a good feeling to have that happen.
Other than protecting your pendulum, don’t forget to protect yourself too! Since you’re opening yourself to the universe, it is important to protect yourself from anything harmful that could enter your place through it.
Pendulums can be made from all kinds of things. If you don’t have the budget to get one, you may even use a necklace, or literally any weight hung on a string. But of course, crystals are the most common for pendulums. 
Rose quartz - Other than being the love crystal as everyone knows it, rose quartz is pretty good for getting rid of negative energies. So might be doing exceptionally well in love readings, but is mostly used for it’s protective energy.
Black obsidian - another crystal known mainly for its protective and cleansing energies, maybe more than rose quartz, which is usually focused more on love, self-love. 
Lapis lazuli - its properties have wisdom and truth. It’s not surprising that it is used for pendulums a lot. We do after all ask it for answers.
Aquamarine - quite an interesting stone. The connection with water means it has some cleansing properties. Spiritually however it is also connected with trust and communication. Once again, not surprising why one would want it for a pendulum.
Amethyst - Ah yes, amethyst. It has been considered one of the main spiritual crystals. Not too surprising, it is connected to the third eye energy center. It has the properties of wisdom, intuition and fighting anxiety and depression. In my opinion it is likely one of the most common materials used for pendulums and other spiritual tools.
Of course, crystals aren’t the only material used for pendulums. Another common one is metal. Copper for example is a great energy conductor and is quite widely used. Brass and Bronzestem from copper and therefore have very similar properties and are quite sturdy.
Sometimes also wood is used, as it is more grounding and stable, unaffected by the surrounding energies, only by yours as you hold it.
Some pendulums have beads / small crystals on the string. It can be used to customize the look, but also to add some meanings if you’d like. Quite common are also energy center beads (sold under “chakra” term, as chakras have been greatly appropriated from Hinduism and Buddhism).
  Making a Pendulum
There are multiple ways you can make your own pendulum if you don’t have the funds or don’t find it worth investing money into. You can always grab a necklace that you perhaps own. While most rather own pointy pendulums, they don’t have to have that shape. It is always good for it to be balanced though.
And if you’re into some woodwork, you can also carve out a wooden pendulum, hang it on a string and there you go! It shouldn’t be too heavy though, otherwise it will have a hard time swinging. And being too light might lead to it being swayed by the faintest of breezes.
  Final Note
That’s all for this post. If you have any questions or anything you think I should add to this post, go to Ask Anything. You can also write in that you do not wish to have it published, however, then you need to not write anonymously, otherwise I won’t be able to respond in DMs. For more posts, check out the Library. Have a wonderful day 💜

I know you are confused about the divine feminine, but I think really you posted an excellent example of it just prior.
The tumblr heritage post with Fanny Flambeaux is an exemplar of the divine feminine.
You see, what we have here is a hoax, a sham, and enchantment because the doll wasn’t really purchased, it was made, a diy project. We can say, in some senses, that Fanny’s “fanny” is a neovagina and not a natal vagina because it’s not the same one she was born with. And now she has a super power.
So the divine feminine, you know… it’s like when someone sees a thing and says, “I can make this better with firecrackers or power tools or whip cream (just a few examples)” and then they do just that.
So bigclivedotcom, he’s got it. He’s embodying the divine feminine for us, and we can all do that if only we apply ourselves.
I am not confused about the divine feminine.
The concept of a "divine feminine" has existed throughout cultures throughout the ages. Its definition varies wildly.
However.
There was a very specific context in which I was discussing the divine feminine on the post you are referencing:
Radfems and tradwives, and the overlap between them regarding their similar definitions and usage of the term "divine feminine".
The radfem and tradwife definition of the divine feminine does not and can never include trans women, period, end of discussion.
But to be frank, I disagree with any definition of the "divine feminine" that posits women or females have a connection to nature or spirituality that is in any way different to the ways a man or male can connect to nature.
There just fucking isn't a difference. Having a cock or a cunt does not change how you connect to spirituality or to nature. Identifying as a man or a woman does not change how you connect to nature or spirituality.
Implying or supporting any sort of division that supports such a viewpoint is, in my opinion, sexism and misogyny, because it puts women/females up on a pedestal of purity.

I’m doing Ateez and sometimes PAC readings for funsies. My readings are for entertainment purposes only and should not be taken seriously. I’ve been doing tarot readings for a few years now but I’m still learning. Tarot should be used as a guidance or when seeking advice, but it’s not a proven science. It’s a divination tool that’s mostly based on intuition and energies. Tarot cannot predict the future. Always keep that in mind.

˚୨୧⋆。˚ Alternatives 2 AI Art ˚。⋆୨୧˚
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, the AI Art discussion has been a huge hot topic for not only the WoW RP community, but the entire internet as we know it. Because we are such a creative community, it’s no wonder people want aesthetically pleasing visuals for their characters. However, not everyone has the finances for a commission or wants to slap down $100+ dollars for a fully rendered full body.
But in turn, AI Art steals artists’ pieces - most often without their knowledge. I’m not here to shame people who’ve used AI Art, but rather come together with others in the WoW RP community in order to bring awareness viable free & paid substitutes for people.
This post will be split into 3 sections: free, paid and DIY, each with an example! Links for each resource will be below.
Tumblr media
˚୨୧⋆。˚ Free Visuals ˚。⋆୨୧˚
Below is a collect of 'doll' or 'dress up' sites that offer hundreds of different genres to dress up and create your own unique design with. Artists are constantly uploading new games all the time. Though majorly fem dominated, there are some good masc and andro ones!

˚୨୧⋆。˚ Paid Visuals ˚。⋆୨୧˚
OKAY B4 YOU GO OFF (。Ŏ ᗜ Ŏ ̆ 。)
You can find some affordable artists to commission on these sites and even pay WoW gold for some. I tried to accommodate for those who are probably like me and a poor ass college student. Just hear me out, homie-
Tumblr media
Artists & Clients
{Commissions}
Tumblr media
A freelancing site where you can hire from a number of artists. There's checks and balances in place to make sure either or doesn't get scammed. Different artists will have different rules, commissions, expectations, etc. My experience with it has been good so far though and you can find art for most budgets!
https://artistsnclients.com
Tumblr media
Fivver
{Commissions}
Tumblr media
Another freelance site where artists offer up their services. Fivver is a little hit-or-miss in my opinion and there are people offering AI Art commissions on here as well.
However, you can really find some hidden gems for good prices!
It’s not limited to art either! There's other services you can purchase as well.
https://www.fiverr.com
Tumblr media
˚୨୧⋆。˚ DIY ˚。⋆୨୧˚
They say if you want something done, do it yourself! Below is my inner Pinterest girl having a love child with my Roleplayer. All of the tools/sites I've added below are free, so you won't have to worry about the cost of it. So get your impractical DIY on. ~(˘▾˘~)
Tumblr media
Photo Editing
{Photography}
Tumblr media
Not all of your references have to be drawn. You can edit photos to make your character! Hell, all you really need is MSPaint at most.
https://www.gimp.org
https://picsart.com
Tumblr media
Moodboards
{Photography}
Tumblr media
✨AeStHeTiC✨- Moodboards are like little collages you put together of photos that relate to your character! You can add snips of text, locations important to your OC, outfits, features, you name it! You can find tons of photos here on Tumblr for it, as well as Pinterest and Weheartit, then mush them together in an editing software!
https://www.pinterest.ca

Face Claims
{Photography}
Tumblr media
If you’re apart of the Tumblr crowd, you already know about these. It’s like, picking an actor for your OC in a way! There’s HUNDREDS of Tumblr accounts dedicated to cataloging public figures for face claims - by description too! I’ll put their accounts down below so you can all get some ideas!
Tumblr media
Draw
{Art}
Tumblr media
It sounds a little silly saying it, but genuinely try picking up art yourself! Draw your own character with your own little gremlin RP hands. Roleplay was a very big driving force for me learning art in my youth. All you need to pencil and paper! There’s also plenty of free drawing programs you can use as well when starting out!
Also check with your local community centres, as many often provide free or cheap art classes!
https://firealpaca.com
https://www.clipstudio.net/en/
https://krita.org/en/

I hope this post has been helpful and given people even more tools to enhance their roleplay experience.
Until my next masterpost (or shitpost). P.S Sorry it took so fuckin' long to make I'm a slow poke. o7

DIY Blue Ombré Chair
Tumblr media
Project by Jesse:
I had seen this post on Design*Sponge featuring an ombre chair from Anthropologie, and immediately knew I wanted to try it. I had searched around for tips on painting this way, but didn’t find much. I figured I could just go for it, and make a tutorial of my own if it all worked out. Luckily I had a spindle-back chair waiting to be redone, so I got started right away! I really like it and would love a matching set. I think what was great about this project is that you get really satisfying results fairly quickly, making it a rewarding project, as well. Start to finish, it only took about 4 hours. Spray paint is really fun! You can see also see the original tutorial on my friend’s site, The Divine Minimalist. — Jesse
Tumblr media
Materials
wooden dining chair
steel wool (paint-removal grade) or sandpaper
drop cloth
gloves
mask and goggles
spray paint primer
3 colors of spray paint (I chose gloss white, blue and navy blue.)
spray clear coat (gloss)
Optional: sawhorse, electric sander and pads, spray paint trigger
Instructions
1. Wearing gloves, begin sanding your chair with the steel wool. The steel wool may seem soft, but without gloves, after a few minutes you will see little shards of steel poking out of your fingers, so I highly recommend wearing gloves. Since we are painting over this coat, we’re just looking to smooth it out and then rough it up a bit so the paint will stick better. You can also move to an electric sander during this step if you have one; it will go much quicker. The third image below shows what it should like when done.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Now start priming in thin, even coats. You can re-coat a few minutes apart. Read the directions on your can of spray paint, as some brands will vary. Be sure to wear a mask and goggles and do this in a well-ventilated area! The image below shows one coat, but you’ll want a couple coats.
Tumblr media
3. You can flip your chair over and get in all the nooks and crannies. Be sure to pad your sawhorse if you use one; otherwise it will scratch your seat. An optional tool that is inexpensive and will save your fingers is a trigger handle. It snaps onto any spray paint can and costs around $3.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. After your primer coat is dry (I waited about 25 minutes, until it wasn’t sticky), you can start on colors. Plan out roughly where you want these to start and stop. I chose to split the chair in thirds. Take your top color, in this case white, and start coating past the limit of your white section. You don’t need to do the whole chair, since we will be painting over that. Remember, thin coats! It’s better to do many thin coats than to do one gloppy-drippy one. I did about four thin coats on the top half of the chair. If you do get drips or strange textures, just take your steel wool and gently smooth it out, and then paint over it again.
5. Once satisfied with the top color, move on to the blue. The goal here was to get the middle third in royal blue. Focus on getting the center of that section solid blue first. You’ll notice that the overspray is already starting to create the fade. Just focus on that center now, back and forth, in very thin coats. Below is a close-up of the seat. Notice that I haven’t gone up or down the spindles yet; I’m just focusing on a solid blue seat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. In little spurts, start spraying the spindles, moving quickly upwards and away from the chair. If you want, practice this paint job on cardboard first, though by now you probably have a good feel for the behavior of the paint, since you’ve painted the seat. The only real challenge here is avoiding a clean line and keeping your color heights even.
Try standing back a little and pulling the trigger in very short intervals. Now you can decide how far up and down you want this to go. I started low, because I had to keep adjusting my heights to get them even, which ran the color higher up the back! Do the same moving downward. Remember in the downward direction to spray past the point where you want your navy blue to reach. We want the lower white area to be gone, so spray a good 4–5 inches past where you’d like the blue-to-dark blue fade to happen.
Tumblr media
7. I should have flipped my chair before my third color and done the bottoms of my royal blue. So after your blue is dry, I suggest you flip the chair and get that color on there. Or do it before you do the top blue. Either way, just get it done before the third color. This particular chair didn’t need extra protection, but if yours does, cover any areas behind your spray range with cardboard or paper bags.
Tumblr media
Once you are satisfied with your middle blue, do the same technique for your third color. I started at the bottom of the chair and worked up. Once the area you want solid is complete, you can use the fade technique from above to spray up and away into the middle color. You’re almost done!
Tumblr media
8. I used the sawhorse again to raise my work surface, but this would work as well on a protected floor. While your chair is drying, give it a good inspection (you can see my missing spot on the back leg below). You want to make sure your fades are around the same height.
Tumblr media
9. Let it dry for 24 hours or longer if it still feels sticky to the touch. Then clear-coat the chair, again in many thin coats. I chose high gloss for maximum protection. Let that dry another 24 hours or so, and enjoy!

Feeling a sudden urge to try learning the Lenormand system again!
I've bought a new deck after having long since sold my old one and I'm already kinda wishing I didn't impulse buy it, only because making my own tools seems to work much better for me, a fact I've belatedly remembered haha. Like, my LoZ themed oracle deck is probably the best divination tool I've ever used. I think I'll get a cheap deck of playing cards and repurpose them into a DIY Lenormand deck so I can experiment with using them vs the bought deck.
That all said the Green Glyphs lenormand looks very pretty and I can't wait for them to arrive so I can rifle through them like a divination goblin.
