The Magic of Crafting
November 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
A little known fact about the Major Arcana is that The Magician, the card valued at one, was once The Artisan. This, to me, seems rather apt; there is a very magical feeling when you create something new, that others appreciate. Our journey so far,... (Read More)
Heartless

Where once there was one, now there are three (or is that four?)
November 15th - via: kickstarter.com
