Dr Zack sends Star-Studded Transparent Package

[Thom Courcelle]

Long-overdue thanks to Dr. Zack who sent this labor-intensive piece involving miniature origami stars sent “naked” in a transparent plastic box, creating a sort of night sky diorama-through-the-mail. The choice of papers for the project were, it seems, painstakingly chosen, not just for color combination, but also for subject… Because if one looks close enough at the box frame of meticulously folded stars, you will be rewarded with tiny little faces… characters playing among the night sky—Orion? the twins? The Seven Sisters?

Thanks for this special artwork, Zack!

I did indeed see that post of yours, Zack, with Antonia's 4-of-Swords artwork and liked it a lot...as well as her figurative hand drawings. I've got her on my list to send something...because...TAROT CARDS!!!

I was also interested to discover that you use the Cosmic Tribe Tarot...I am familiar with it and once had a copy...but gave it away to someone many years ago. Is that your main go-to deck? I have a too large collection...mostly because I like to support independent artists who are making decks...and it's nice to switch around using different decks because it definitely keeps me on my toes and keeps my creative interpretive skills exercised.

Thanks for the blog!
