0(1). The Fool

0(1). The Fool

A fool with knowledge is still, perhaps, a fool.

This is the Mother fool. Read the info on the Crone fool for more about that.

I was hoping to get some Absinthe done but this is what my hand has been doing over the past three days.

Eight cards between me and Total Tarot Extension Completion, but I think only two of them have sketches I'm happy with.

(I printed this out at deck size and I think I need to zoom in a little; the figure is a tad too small compared with the rest of the Majors. Oh well!)

My god, this is perfect. I was a little bewildered when you said you were going back to the >78 cards, but this is SO WORTH IT.

It just sort of... happened, you know?

I love it!

I keep wondering if it's too fiddly at card size. We'll see.

She knows just enough to get herself in trouble.

Exactly what I was aiming for! Yay.

I... may have had to learn to not walk and read for a similar reason as pictured...

I have been there myself.

Though we haven't seen the third Fool yet, I have a feeling this would be the one I'd include for the deck I was using just because I am very prone to needing this particular theme more often.

I've posted the sketch before but that was the very first thing I drew for this deck; I suspect I'm going to end up doing a new rough for 0(0), the Maiden Fool.

I figure some people will pick one Fool and use it, some will pick one fool as appropriate to the querent, and some will leave all three. A reading where all three Fools came up would be pretty interesting!

Wait a tick, if 0(0) is the Maiden then shouldn't this one be the Mother? She does look a bit pregnant, in fact!

Yes, this one is the Mother Fool.

I mention because the text seems to be at odds with the image. :)

Oh, whoops, fixed that.

And again I love the way you do yellows. Damn.

I don't think any of these are pure yellows; a pure yellow tends to be angry and discordant in large quantities. Gotta be hot because this is the Summer Fool, gotta be inviting because the card's not an angry one... a conunndrum!
