9 of Swords to the Left
This Nine of Swords piece is a 3D test focused on precision—specifically how repetition and alignment behave when translated into layered form. The swords are deliberately spaced and stacked to create a rigid, almost oppressive structure behind the figure, reinforcing the weight the card represents. This isn’t a finished product or something intended for sale. It’s part of the process—breaking down the image, rebuilding it in layers, and learning where structure either supports the meaning or falls apart.
9 of Swords
This Nine of Swords piece isn’t part of the shop—it’s a working study. I used it to test structure, layering, and visual balance before committing to production designs. Every cut, shadow, and placement is intentional, but the goal here isn’t perfection—it’s exploration. This card exists to push the process forward, to see what holds up, what breaks, and what can be refined into something worth offering.
9 of Swords to the Right
This Nine of Swords build is a 3D test piece created to push the limits of layering and depth within the PocketFate process. The separation between the figure, bed, and background swords is intentional—designed to physically represent the pressure and mental weight the card is known for. This isn’t a finished product or something intended for sale. It’s part of the process—testing how far the materials can go, how the shadows behave, and how emotion translates when the image is no longer flat.
DEATH Card
This card doesn’t soften the message—something is ending, whether you’re ready for it or not. Death here isn’t about loss for the sake of loss; it’s about clearing what can’t continue so something else has room to take its place. There’s a quiet inevitability to it, like a cycle already in motion long before you noticed it.
Lay this one down and don’t rush past it. What’s leaving, shifting, or breaking down in your life is exactly where this card is working.
The Chariot Card
These cards don’t sit still—and neither does what they’re pointing to. The Chariot, especially, carries that tension between movement and control, where direction matters more than speed and momentum has a cost. What you’re looking at isn’t just imagery—it’s force, resistance, and the question of whether you’re driving your path or being carried by it.
Lay them out and pay attention to what feels like motion in your own life. That’s where this card actually speaks.
The Lovers Card
These cards aren’t meant to sit quietly—they’re meant to be looked at, questioned, and felt. Each piece in the PocketFate collection pulls traditional tarot out of its safe, familiar form and rebuilds it through collage, texture, and contradiction. You’re not just seeing symbols—you’re seeing tension, memory, and meaning layered together in a way that doesn’t resolve cleanly.
Lay them out, take your time, and notice what pulls at you first. The message isn’t always in the obvious place—it’s in what lingers.
The Hermit to the Left
This The Hermit piece is a 3D test focused on depth from a structural perspective. From this angle, the separation between layers becomes visible—the lantern, staff, and figure all sitting at different heights within the frame. That physical spacing is intentional, allowing light and shadow to do part of the storytelling. This isn’t a finished product or something intended for sale. It’s part of the process—understanding how much depth is needed, where layers should break forward, and how the card changes when it’s no longer confined to a flat surface.
The Hermit
This The Hermit piece is a full 3D test build focused on how isolation and guidance translate into physical depth. The figure is pulled forward from the background, with the lantern and staff acting as focal points that break the flat plane of the original image. The space around the figure is left intentionally open, reinforcing the quiet and distance the card represents. This isn’t a finished product or something intended for sale—it’s part of the process, refining how light, layering, and negative space can carry meaning when the card is built by hand instead of printed flat.
The Hermit to the Right
This The Hermit build is a 3D test piece created to explore vertical depth and separation within the PocketFate process. The figure is intentionally pulled forward, with the staff acting as a visual anchor, while the background falls away into stillness. It’s less about detail and more about presence—how isolation, distance, and quiet guidance can be felt when the image is given physical form. This isn’t a finished product or something for sale. It’s part of the process—testing how structure, spacing, and shadow carry meaning beyond the surface.
