Animal Portraits Playing Card Deck

The cards are exquisite, each one a beautifully drawn picture of an animal. Hard to call them pictures because they're more like rich, watercolor paintings. There's whimsy, fun, beauty. Can't wait to play with them. Can't recommend highly enough!

Carol Lew began with a standard playing card format and ended up with this imaginative (and funny) card deck. She shakes it up by creating animal portraits in the style of Old World masterpieces. Don’t let the cover illustration mislead you. These stately recreations don’t rely solely on domesticated animals. She includes pigs, hedgehogs, goats, and roosters as well. The renderings of different dog breeds is especially meticulous, making this a fabulous gift for dog lovers. Whether you use the deck for card games, to play solitaire, or to “tell fortunes” in the old school, gypsy way, this deck will add enormous fun to your activities.
