These Aboriginal playing cards (art project) were designed by the Australian artist, Kerstin Loop. They are dedicated to some typical life forms of Australia. Kerstin’s approach to small pips on number cards is really interesting. Different sizes and designs of these pips let achieve additional artistic effect.
