Petit Lenormand

In a frenzy of a few days in Fall 2019 – a break from Anecdotes Tarot – I made a Petit Lenormand based on images from Joanna Newsom lyrics.

You can download the images and print files on the Downloads page.

The Card Images

The original drawings were all quick felt-tip pen doodles. In 2022, I decided to redraw the deck digitally to clean up the images a bit and add my own lettering. I changed some compositions a bit, but tried to keep close to the original. Below you can find the new images.

Some card titles are changed from the traditional Lenormand deck in order to fit the lyrical reference better. Others were just changed because the word was too long to squeeze in!

Printings

I printed the first version of the deck in two small runs, for a total of twenty copies.

The first printing had 2 inch by 2 inch cards with plain yellow backs.
This second version of the deck has 2.5 inch by 2.5 inch square cards with card backs scanned from an applique project.
I made the boxes myself with watercolor paper and a rubber stamp.
