Today I had the pleasure to receive the decks. And OMG, what a fantastic feeling it is. So, first of all, thank you for your patience and support. 

Now, the big job will start, I will begin to fulfillment next week after I organize my house to be ready for that. I do not use a fulfillment center, everything will do with my family at home. We could take care of every order and avoid some taxes issues as much as possible.  Also, we need to fold each box, organize every collection, etc... It should take around 1 month to ship everything, so please consider I won't answer messages about delivery before everything has been sent. 

My cat, Haku validates the quality! 

That's a lot of decks!

Thanks again, and if you have any address changes, please contact Anaïs at [email protected]

October update... Cards are on their way to me, collection boxes are printer...
over 1 year ago – Sun, Oct 16, 2022 at 11:28:42 AM

Hope you are fine. I have very good news to share with you: the playing cards decks are on their way to me. I just get the customs approval so it means they will arrive very soon. Still, no date but it has never been so close... 

So on last week, I visit Studio Pression, my letterpress studio partner who print the boxes of the decks, to finish a big part of the project: printing the collection box sets. Here comes the photos from the 3 days there. 

We redesign the box to have each deck side by side like the collection. Above are the brass printing plates. 

And during the last days there all the Studio Pression team cut and fold all the boxes one by one. And the result is beyond my expectation...

You can see videos and more photos on my Instagram. 

It was such a great feeling to see these coming to life. So now I will lock your address on backerkit, like this, you may change it if you need to. 

Thanks a lot for your patience. 

SHOUT OUT : Shakespeare Playing cards from Ukraine

Talking about support, here is a Kickstarter for a great project made by the team behind the printing of my cards, Noir Arts, based in Ukraine. They need you to support them beyond the world of playing cards collection. And the design and concept are stunning!

Hope you are fine. I am closer and closer to the delivery date of the Crossed Keys playing cards decks. Here are the latest photos I got from Noir Arts, with the seals. 

The white edition will come with red seals and are numbered.

The color decks will come with gold seals. 

The next step is having the decks travel from Ukraine to me.  I will soon close backerkit surveys so if you need to change your address, it will be possible.

Thanks for your patience and support.

August update...
over 1 year ago – Wed, Aug 31, 2022 at 12:00:28 AM

I hope you are fine. Yes, we are august 31st so it is still suitable for the august update, right? Just after I posted the latest update, I got a message from Noir Arts that we have a problem with 3 of the cards. Nore they or I saw that problem, and to make it short the only solution was to reprint these 3 cards... for each color. 

But the good news is that some decks are starting to be ready. So Noir Arts should send me a part of the decks to start fulfillment as soon as possible. I do not want to announce dates, but it is close... Some photos of the decks were sent by Noir Arts. 

Thank you so much for your support and patience, hope to have good news very soon.

July update...
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jul 26, 2022 at 01:05:33 AM

I hope you are fine. Sadly I have no new photos to share, I just have an exchange with Noir Arts who tells me everything is still on the move, but I have no date, no more info. It is frustrating as weeks, and months pass, and I still can not plan fulfillment. Thanks so much for your patience and support.  I hope to have more info soon.

Also, just a little reminder that the addresses are not locked yet, so no problem if you need to change yours, you will receive a reminder email when decks will be ready to ship.

Unfold boxes photos by Richard Arturo

If you collect playing cards you may know Richard Arturo's photos on Instagram @richardarturo47.  He ordered something from my shop so I send him some unfolded boxes of the project and he did these great photos.

I just figure out while posting this that it makes the blue/white/red french flag colors! 

Four Kings

This nice first deck needs support, if you missed it you still have some hours to make it happen, only some % to reach to the funding goal.

Thanks for your support and patience, again.
