Fiber Arts Tarot. Suits are knitting needles, crochet hooks, sewing needles, and weaving shuttles. Several of the Major Arcana figures are spinning.

Heh. I have extensive notes for the Tapestry Tarot around here someplace. Someday I will have the right loom to actually do the whole thing as planned. Looms, dyebaths, spindles and shuttles. Photographs of an actual work in progress. Across each number it's a process, so that the Ace is one thing spun, dyed, wrapped on the shuttle, and woven. The Looms suit is actually one loom, with diamonds woven of each chunk of thread. The rest of the suits actually have multiples of the named objects. The court cards will be verbs instead of nouns: studying, journeying, crafting, and teaching. Each one shows an image of somebody doing the thing. The Major Arcana is also photos of mostly people, some tools.

One day.
