Kickstarter: Bicycle Venexiana Deck by Half Moon Playing Cards
The designer of Timeless deck and Butterfly deck made for RSVP Magic decided to propose people his own project – Bicycle Venexiana Playing Cards.
“Venexiana” – this is how the word “Veneziana” is written in the area of Veneto, in northern Italy. It’s familiar but at the same time strange, exactly as Venice itself. Venice is not just a beautiful city. It’s an impossible invention of time.
Inspired by designer’s love for this aged beauty, “Venexiana” recalls the elegance, playfulness and mystery of early 18th century Venice. It’s a completely custom deck, and every element, from pips to courts is entirely designed by Lotrek (the designer and owner of Half Moon Playing Cards). It is planned to be printed by USPCC.
The Launching of Bicycle Venexiana Playing Cards has to be Postponed
The launching of Bicycle Venexiana Playing Cards on Kickstarter has to be postponed to July 16 (today) evening at 5:00 EST. Be sure to find the link to the project on this page.
Bēhance: KHLim Playing Cards by Nancy Schokkenbroek
This is a set of illustrated playing cards that display various studies the KHLim offers. Designed by the Dutch artist – © 2012 Nancy Schokkenbroek
KHLim – Limburg Catholic University College – a member of the University of Leuven association, the university network of Leuven University and twelve university colleges in Flanders, reaching from the Dutch border to the North Sea.
A little strange detail – traditional indices for Dutch Pattern are: Ace – Ace ; Heerser (or heer) – King; Vorstin – Queen; Bengel (or boefje) – Jack (knave). But Nancy uses Dutch “H” for kings and English “Q” for queens.
