Each piece is associated with a specific tarot card, is rendered in gorgeous watercolor, and hand signed by Giles.In addition to the Button Bright and Poppy Field work shown, we have the Good Witch of the North, Jelia Jamb, Queen Ann, the Love Magnet, the Wizard, Glinda and more. Don’t miss the opportunity to choose art based on your favorite character! Each one of a kind, and no more will be available once these are gone. Also, order the tarot deck itself here. Don’t forget to check out this month’s New Listings –some rare items this month, including the 1961 Dick Martin Wizard (sold) and lots of Denslow items.
