So these are my “fortune telling” cards, now finished. I made 16 cards to remind me of all the ways I like to work. Sometimes when I’m feeling blocked it can help to stop thinking of an image made in one form and try to produce it in a completely different way. I can shuffle them and lay out 4 randomly and see what comes up.

I'm actually really pleased with them and wish I'd thought of making them before.
