- My artist process creating an art oracle deck - the journey and the editing process.
Hello from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm working on creating my own oracle art deck and I'm sharing my insights up to this point, where right now, I am doing a LOT of editing, and decision making. I share an artist influence, Adrienne Vita (www.adriennevita.com) , that I just purchased a deck from and it will definitely influence the "feel" of my deck as this one is a tough act to follow and there's so much goodness in it that I want to create mine to feel that way too! I also share the synchronicity I felt when I pulled a card from her deck during a time of need. Note: Adrienne Vita's deck is called "Love and Magic " and available on her website referenced above.
Update : My "Art Poetry" deck for insights and inspiration is now available (ships worldwide), at www.allisondaw...
I look forward to your Oracle deck. Your candor, authenticity, purpose and message with your art is so inspiring. Thank you.
I appreciate you writing this. thank you
You are so thrilled with your baby. Your hands were so unstable and shivering while showing your child to the world!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Haha. And I have an essential tremor…😉
Beautiful work and interesting to hear about what you are doing.
thanks Sara! I appreciate your interest:)
Hello Allison you may be new and nervous but don't be because you have a wonderful way of painting and you should be very proud of what you are achieving. Hope you will stick around and give us all some easy tuitorials to help us on our way. Thank you❤
Thankyou beautiful Sylvie! Much appreciated.xx
What is an oracle deck?
And what are wallpaper labels?
@@jerrygill4828 essentially they are stickers. the sticker is made of wallpaper material, and they “peel and stick”
@@jerrygill4828 it’s a collection of cards that are illustrated and sometimes each card is symbolic or has a story of some kind, or the entire deck can be a collection with a “story”. ( that’s how i am creating it - by this definition).
Your artwork is truly amazing and I am very excited about your oracle deck, AND you are just so adorable!
thankyou for this .:)
You will certainly hear from me because I am going to purchase your oracle deck 😀🙏. Merci
Wonderful!
Congratulations from France for your wonderful work which such love and a huge sensibility. Great artist. :-)
thank you very much Sylvie
SOOOOOO INSPIRING 🤩💖✨💞💫💝
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL TALENTS AND WISDOM WITH US 💞
Aw, whatif!!!! thanks so much
Stunning work Allison. I love the size of the “postcard”, your art fits!
Since I started watching your channel two weeks ago, I have just signed up for the Modern Mixed Media Course by Laura Horn starting June 1st.
I understand your excitement it can be so strong it makes you feel sick. Creation is a high frequency and elevates the people around you. Just by people being near you or looking at your work will raise them up!
God bless you & thank you!💓
Thank you so much! Yes I get so full of inspiration and need to channel it everyday.
Love these, will be happy when they come available , you r so special❤️
The one that didn't make the cut is the one I love the most!
That’s so interesting,! I’d have to rewatch the video to recall which piece you were talking about… thanks for watching .
This is so inspiring for someone like me who aspires to self-illustrate their own decks someday. We need more genuine, authentic, and empathic people like this in the world - doing videos and sharing their visions and creative processes. Thank you for taking the time 🩵
thankyou
Such an inspiring video.😍
Glad you think so!
hello Allison! I love your works and your videos are super inspiring!! I bought Cathy’s course last year and I’m still stuck, maybe your enthusiasm will pushing me to finally start 😃☝🏻 thank you! can’t wait to see your deck finished, look amazing! congrats!! how exciting!! hugs, Francesca
@@allisondawrant thank you so much Allison! I have a course from Alena (but not the deck one’s) I love her work as well!! I think you are right, my time will come when has to be ☺️ but I hope to do something soon! thank you again for the inspiration, I really appreciated all the things that you are sharing, great values here 🙌🏻☺️ hugs!!
awesome! fellow Cdn in the process of birthing my first deck SO EXCITED!! Wondering which printing company you'll choose as the grand finale :) I LUV the concept of all of your art works to be everlasting with this deck SO SMART!!!
I love your work. I am wanting to incorporate inspiring scripture, and my life alignment to it in my art for empowering others in their spiritual life. I love the card size for gifts and coffee table discussion. Blessings from Florida.
what a lovely idea. thanks for your comment
Thank you for sharing your process.
Your deck will work it's beautiful.
Greetings from England
Hello Robyn ! where in England are you? thanks for writing and watching
I'm from East Sussex England
Can’t wait for you to publish your beautiful art deck. Hope l will be able to purchase from the uk. ❤
I hope to make it available to you in the UK. I have family there- so even if it means air travel in their suitcase! haha (kidding.... kind of)
I can’t wait for the oracle deck
thanks for watching and your interest in my oracle deck.
Your beautiful Oracle has a voice that speaks to the soul. The artwork is like peaceful moments held fast for us to find inspiration and energy. These stunning cards will be like friends comforting and encouraging us, a joy to own. They are a treasure, we look forward to their release. Thank you for putting so much into this project. For it will give so much to so many. Wonderful video ❤❤❤👏
Wow- I want to save this reply and frame it. haha. Such kind words. thanks so much Wendy!
Maravilloso trabajo, gracias por compartirlo. Eres tan amorosa e inspiradora!!!! Mil gracias, abrazos enormes 😊
Gracias Gabriela! xx
How lovely! I am currently doing an oracle deck course with Domestika and hopefully may start on mine soon :).
Oh, wonderful! what is the name of the course? I have taken 3 recent ones (one still in progress).
@@allisondawrant it’s called “Illustrated Deck of Cards Creation” by Lari Arantes - a Brazilian artist :)
Allison, I really appreciate the thought process behind the creation of your first art deck. I am looking forward to having more of your art as well as the prompts for reflection. I know it is going to be both beautiful and inspirational and I can't wait to hold a copy in my hands! Thank you for sharing the journey via YT! I love the conversation with your husband that you shared (and I also totally relate to all the reasons you felt pressured and rushed and with a brain that doesn't stop), and that by asking the question he is reminding you of the words you have included in your art like stillness, remember your breath and enjoy the journey. 💗💗💗
thanks so much for this insightful and kind message. Hope you've been able to fit some watercolour practice in your busy days! xx
No pressure but I am looking forward to the deck and the inspiration it will invoke. I really like your paintings and messages. MO, USA
wonderful! It's coming late summer this year!!! hoping sooner. thanks so much!
Dear Allison, how wonderfull your art work is turning out. Beautifull. Your are an inspiration.🎉❤
Very beautiful. The beginning of this video was without a doubt a synchronicity for me.
“Remember to breathe.” - literately 2-3 minutes before I clicked on this video, I had told my husband that I’m starting to experience and believe that almost everything in life breaks down to breathing. Angry? Breathe. Scared? Breathe. Feeling bad? Deep breathes. Can’t sleep? Deep breathes. Life or death situation? Breathe deeply so you can think/act. Everything I can think of… just breathe.
Sorry for the long comment, it’s just I feel like a real goofball bc it took me 40 years to figure that part out. Better late than never, I suppose!
But about the video’s content, I appreciate your sharing the experiences of creating your deck. I’m halfway done with my first ever deck before being self-published, so I crave these videos. Lol
Thanks for sharing this and congrats on being super close to self publishing your deck! incredible. Funny thing about synchronicity as just as I was reading this I needed the reminder about my breath. good timing for me as I read this reply!
Loved this video, and love watching you and your style. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations ! ! Onward and Upward ! ! Thanks for Sharing the Great News and Your Energy !
Much appreciated!
Ive been painting watercolour for 4 years im 53.
I have done hundreds of paintings and i dont really like any of the finished work.
But i keep painting because i love the process of painting.
Your work looks great,
Im enjoying your videos.
Good luck with your you tube channel😊
Thanks for sharing!
They look great! Good luck with your cards and so nice to see you in person! Love your enthusiasm and charm. 😊
thanks so much Cheri!
Hello Alison. I love your art and can’t wait to buy your Oracle cards, they are beautiful. I am learning so much from your tutorials, they are so colorful please keep them coming. Thank you and hello from New Zealand.
my dream would be to visit New Zealand one day. Such a beautiful place. thanks Lorraine
I found your channel today and I love your work! Thank you sharing your art - I am looking forward to seeing your deck! ❤
thanks Jana!

Thank you so much!
❤

thank you Kelly
Very inspiring Allison, I am in Calgary as well. I love your art. ❤
Oh Adriana- so awesome you are from Calgary! It's a hot one today. thanks for writing me. xx
Continued blessings, creativity, health and love
thank you. back to you
Beautiful art! I am thinking of making my own Oracle deck. I can't draw, though. I paint abstract art.
You can do it! You don’t need to be able to paint or draw. There are many great courses out there, and some teach doing digital Royalty free artworks.
@@allisondawrant Thank you!
I absolutely want the Oracle deck it's magic and absolutely fabulous
thanks Roseann!xx
Wow!
I love your work and your spirit.
Try holding them in the early morning when your half asleep and partly awake… using the full spiritual experience of VISIONS.; in your mind through your soul. Then naming them permanently.
Sending much love. ~Amy. From Texas ❤
Oooooh, will try this. thanks for sharing your insights and knowledge on this topic...
So beautiful! I look forward to purchasing your deck when it becomes available. (Hint: my favorite feeling cards are printed on a high end linen like paper😀😀😀)
great hint😁
Love your beautiful art! I think you mentioned once that you might include a guide book with expanded thoughts for each card? Since you are not making a tarot deck (good), but rather a card deck shaped vehicle for people to experience a stack of handheld images and inspiring quotes, it seems like putting the same image on the back of every card is a wasted opportunity. I wonder if the backs of the cards might be a good place for the expanded prompts and encouragements, while keeping the facing side simple, with just the image and brief line like you have it. But I’m sure whatever you end up doing will be delightful.
that is a brilliant idea. and thanks for the thoughtful comments. I can't wait to share my deck as it's just going to print now:) Stay tuned!
I love your works. 🥰
Hope I will be able to purchase from Sweden 🇸🇪
Hugs😊
I plan to make the deck available far and wide where possible. thank you for your interest. xx
I'm looking you up right now to see if they are out 111

Love your deck!❤
thanks that means so much
I am at the beginning stage of creating my Oracle deck. Would you be willing to tell me what courses you are taking to help you turn your art into an Oracle deck?
Of course. I think I linked and talked about some resources/teachers in a few videos - but email me hello@allisondawrant.com and I’ll help.
So beautiful ❤🌞🌟
Thank you so much !!
I joust love your art work and I can’t wait for the oracle deck! Can you explain how you use Canva in this process please?
thanks Brenda- I'm new to Canva but it's like photoshop for what I'm using for. I am sizing my art for the deck of cards I'd like and have added a frame and words to the card with the art in the centre. When I've had it edited several times, it will be ready for print. I'm also doing the box design in canva but have hired a graphic designer to help as it's very tedious!
I love the look of your deck. Will I be able to get it in the UK? 😊
yes, i plan to make it available to the UK
Very much enjoy your videos and style. Just a little ditty about rushing a process. This is a line from the Tao Te Ching I thought was interesting - Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe.
thankyou for sharing!
this is awesome where can I buy them as a full deck
yes- they are on my website now . i’ll send the link
This deck is beautiful. So inspiring. What do you do with your art in Canva?
i just use canvas for putting my art in a template. i don’t use digital art images .
Allison just so beautiful, your work!!!! Can I ask where you ended up getting your deck printed? Thank you!
Thankyou. The printer i went with is no longer in business.
@@allisondawrant oh! Thank you for letting me know. That's too bad because your deck looks absolutely stunning!!! You have such talent, so, so inspiring!!!
hello, can I ask what was your original artwork on and did the sizes matter for you when it came to putting them into an oracle size, I am currently in a similar process and. am curious if the sizing if the original artwork will in any way obstruct/ create problems for the final print, any help would ge very appreciated, your deck looks wonderful, thankyou
great question and congrats on being at that stage of your card journey. My artwork is quite abstract and most of it was photographs of originals that were 9x12" , 11x 14", 18x 12" - some larger and some smaller. So, in general, if you have a good iphone and get good photos (take before varnishing the work), size of the original doesn't matter, unless the composition is really off. For example, if you painted more realistic work, and the original of someone's face is a longer composition and you are putting into a square format for the card deck- it will make the person look quite different... not sure this is a great example- but you get the idea! Feel free to reach out anytime if I can help. Have fun!
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE, THIS HAS BEEN MOST HELPFUL, I SHALL KEEP YOU UPDATES. THANKYOU.@@allisondawrant
ohh, you're in Canada..
Yes:) Calgary
Oracle decks are so needed within this community, Allison. I hope you will name the colors used for your your followers.
Hi Beth- I've just started this UA-cam channel- only 3 weeks out!!!! I'm overwhelmed with the response and learning how to attach documents ect! Do you use UA-cam? Nice to see your name pop up! Stay tuned
@@allisondawrant hi Allison - u tube has become the classroom for the world! A much. Ended and loved platform for connection and education. So glad to know that you’re on board and have a pretty big following. The oracle deck has a following already ☮️🌻
What a wonderful idea. So beautiful. What are wallpaper labels?
essentially they are just stickers, with a gentle stickiness that is meant for walls.... a great way to "stick" art onto your laptop or waterbottle or whereever you can stick it! (doesn't damage the underlying surface).
@@allisondawrant Thank you!
Hi, thanks so much for your inspiring and healing art and energy...I really connect with what u r making. May I ask where you purchased your wallpaper labels, where you got them printed and which company you will print your oracle cards with? Thanks so very much, Angelina
I couldn't find the website 😅
I have an incredible local printing company here in Calgary- www.artmagik.ca and they did my wallpaper labels for me- although they specialize in fine art and canvas prints primarily (this was just a small project I'd asked for help with). But check out their work and offerings as they are the best in town. I am still researching print companies for my oracle deck. I love the draft deck that I got from Little Rock Printing Co, here in Calgary. I also need to give credit to Alena Hennessey and Cathy Nichols (both artists that offer unique courses on creating oracle decks). They share all of their tips and tricks and I highly recommend checking out their offerings.
@@allisondawrant awwww thx so much for writing back! Big hugs and love...I can't wait to purchase ur deck. This is so magic. Have a great day beautiful soul!
Are you taking preorders of your deck?
I hope to very soon! will likely list them on my website www.artbyalimac.com You can subscribe to my newsletter as I hope to be efficient enough to notify my art buyers on that same site:)
I love ❤️ your work I just can't hear you in this video? God bless JK FLORIDA
thankyou
