Felt Lenormand Deck Hand Cut Tattoo Designs - Tarot & Poker

The Felt Lenormand Deck is a distinctive 36-card set that reinterprets classic Lenormand imagery through the lens of traditional tattoo flash art. Each card features a hand-cut felt design, giving the deck a unique, handcrafted aesthetic and tactile quality. The creator, Bobby Alexander, draws inspiration from the bold lines and iconic motifs of old-school tattooing, translating them into vibrant felt compositions.

This deck offers a fresh take on the Lenormand system, combining its straightforward symbolism with a folk art sensibility. The designs are clear and recognizable, making the deck accessible for readers familiar with Lenormand, while the unusual medium provides a novel experience. The availability of both tarot and poker sizes caters to different preferences for handling and shuffling, ensuring versatility for various reading styles.

The project successfully funded on Kickstarter, indicating a strong interest in unique, artisan-crafted divination tools. The blend of traditional tattoo aesthetics with the Lenormand system creates a deck that is both visually engaging and functionally sound for interpretive readings. It stands out as a collectible item that also serves as a practical divination tool.

The artwork is created using hand-cut felt pieces, layered to form distinct images against solid colored felt backgrounds. The style directly references traditional old-school tattoo flash art, characterized by bold outlines, simplified forms, and a limited but vibrant color palette. For instance, the 'Snake' card features a green and yellow serpent on a red background, while the 'Dog' card shows a brown and black dog with a halo on a purple background, and the 'Tree' card depicts a bonsai on a lime green background. The edges of the felt pieces are visible, emphasizing the handcrafted nature of each design. This technique gives the illustrations a charming, slightly naive quality, distinct from digital or painted art.

This deck is ideal for Lenormand readers who appreciate unique, artisan-crafted decks and a folk art aesthetic. It will appeal to collectors of unusual divination tools, as well as individuals with an interest in traditional tattoo art or handcrafted items. Its clear, direct imagery also makes it suitable for those who prefer a straightforward approach to Lenormand readings.
