today's card pull: leaping into something new might be very exciting, but take a moment to feel into your motivations & beware of overconfidence. It might be worth seeking the advice of someone who's successfully done what you're thinking of doing before you jump.

A black pen in crosshatch technique and black ink applied with a small roller on white paper illustration of a scene of Venice. A black Cat sits in a Gondola, Crows sit atop long poles that rise from the water. Water laps at the Gondola and a little wooden jetty, across the water hazy buildings, their lights just visible through a fog. Crows circle above. A dark figure of a man stands on the jetty by the Gondola on the left of the illustration. Mysterious.
Original handmade artwork.
£350 plus P&P
