For something different I decided recently to develop and print a pack of playing cards. I was heavily inspired by the masks and figurines in the Pacific Cultures Gallery at the South Australian Museum, and had a lot of fun designing the coloured cards and jokers!

I printed the cards from several lino blocks onto large sheets, then cut them into individual cards and hand coloured the Jacks, Queens, Kings and Jokers with watercolour.
For the final touch I wrapped up the packs in individual boxes, ready for giving as gifts. They are also available for purchase, so contact me if interested!
