The Water Color Lenormand is Sue Senden‘s Lenormand, an elegant, sweet and simple Lenormand made with love.

This sweet deck, with soft colors, has 39 cards: 36 regular Lenormand, 1 extra male and 1 extra female consultants, and an extra card depicting “time”. Each card has been carefully drawn and painted with water colors, creating a soft and sweet atmosphere. This is a great Lenormand to have in your collection, unique and compelling, simple and soft, dreamy. The backs are a delight. It is a consistent deck, with that dreamy effect that sometimes is needed when difficult readings are made.

The extra card: “time”, can be also used as a substitute of the Scythe. It has depicted a scythe, but also a sand clock with wings. Time, literally, flies. So, this extra card can make your readings really special if you decide to include it with the rest of cards. Having 2 men and 2 ladies to choose from is also a delight

Sue has printed her Lenormand with Printerstudio paper stock quality. This means that the cards shuffle really well, and they are also strong. They look so sweet, but in fact, they’re very strong!

This is a must-have in your collection. If you miss this deck, you’re missing a very sweet, dreamy but strong deck! (You can find it here.)

Pepi: How did have the idea of your Lenormand? Where the inspiration come from?

Sue: I was seeing decks being created, and ~ as an artist ~ thought I could do one. I had the water colors and began to play. I liked the results, and began in earnest on the deck ~ also with a great deal of encouragement from the Lenormand community.

I would meditate upon the images in the traditional deck, looking for the right images to paint. I wanted to keep to the traditional, as some decks I was seeing were hard to discern the card. So clarity of the image was important, and not a lot of embellishment or distraction.

P: Why did you choose watercolors for your artwork?

S: I chose water color because they were what I had at the time, and I wanted them to be painted. I got a lot of encouragement from the Lenormand community to paint as well.

P: Did you meet any challenges in the road?

S: Some cards had to be redone, as I did not like the finished painting. Meditation on the card and meaning helped make the project easier. However, that said, doing 40 paintings is no small task! But it was fun.

P: Which is the most gratifying thing/emotion you got from orchesting this wonderful deck?

S: The most gratifying feeling was when people said they were beautiful, that they liked them and of course ~ bought them. As an artist, I created a deck, it was in a way, my gift back to the community for helping me learn and grow in my readings and work with the Lenormand. The deck is a signed, limited edition. There are only a few left.

P: Any layouts you would suggest to use the Water Color Lenormand?

S: I do not have any lay outs in particular, as each of us has our favorites. I let the client and the cards help to inform me about what sort of a lay-out is needed, from three cards to the Grand Tableau.
