Tarot Cards and Coloring Books and Giveaways, OH MY

As most of you know, I have been working on a fabulous tarot deck for Llewellyn with illustrator Elisabeth Alba, who is as sweet as she is talented (so pretty damned sweet). When we finished, Elisabeth kindly offered to gift me with one of the original paintings--my choice. I debated back and forth for ages, since I loved them all so much, but finally narrowed it down to the one I thought I'd most like to have hanging on my wall. (I also intend to buy a few of the prints when she puts them up for sale, but an original is different, a real treasure.)

Yesterday, I got THIS in the mail.

THE ACE OF CUPS

I particularly love this one because it gives me a wonderful peaceful feeling to look at it, but also because if you look at the kitty, you'll notice that it is a calico. Elisabeth was working on the Cups, her final suit, when my beloved cat Samhain died, and I asked her if she could possibly make one or two of the kitties in that suit calicos, in Samhain's honor. As you can see, she did. I told you she was sweet, didn't I.

If you like the cards in this deck, then you are going to LOVE the new LLEWELLYN WITCH'S COLORING BOOK. This cool new addition to the adult coloring book craze features a number of different artists, including Elisabeth and also Mickie Mueller, who did the cover for my ebook version of Circle, Coven & Grove, as well as a number of the illustrations in The Witch's Broom

Check it out:

My painting isn't *quite* as good as Elisabeth's original...

 Aren't these cool? There are lots of other gorgeous pictures to draw too. I had to get one of these as soon as I found out our pictures were in there. And I've found using it to be surprisingly therapeutic. Naturally, I ordered an extra one to give away! Why should I have all the fun?
