Guys! I hope you are well

sorry for the silence, i´ve been away for a month (Italy) and now back at work on the decks. :)
Updates about Gemini were posted on kickstarter, soon another one because I will receive the revised proofs of the tuck-cases.

This is a nice picture of the assembled hard-proofs.
As always it is taking a lot of time to produce a deck...

Have a great weekend! :)

HI all!

just wanted to show this one. I received the picture from Taiwan.
Very happy with the outcome :)

The decks are ready and heading the US. It will take a while - as always - but some more patience is what I ask. Eventually the backers will get everything they pledged for. :)

I know it's early, but this has very strong potential for deck of the year 2017. I just love the old world style on this one and would prefer to just forget about it until it shows up at my door. Thanks, now I am all anxious again and sad about the long ocean voyage I must wait for. :(

Hi again!

to those who saw my kickstarter updates and the mention of the secret item #1, here is what I am talking about.
I decided to upgrade the Gemini Experimental deck with numbered laser-engraved tags. These will be signed and go inside the deck, inserted sideways at the bottom.
Laser-engraved on gold-brushed laminate 1mm thick, with black core.
170 in total, but I think there will be less... I will know after assembly :)

As I've mentioned on FB, excellent gift thank you! I hope you will have 170 decks or the engraved tag number will be wrong. :)
Move on, nothing to see here.

So, I received my Stockholm17 Gemini decks this weekend, and... well...

I am gobsmacked by how amazing these are. I mean, I expected them to be awesome, but these surpassed expectations.

This has been a good year for cards so far, and there've been a lot of excellent projects that have delivered so far in 2017. By saying what I'm about to say, I am in no way trying to sell the other decks we've seen so far short. That said: for best tuck, backs, courts, pips, gaffes, and overall decks, I think we have a new high-water mark for 2017 here.

I realize that Lotrek's Oath decks should be arriving any minute now, so we may have a challenger in the wings for many of these categories, and the year is just barely into the second quarter, but even so... wow. Totally loving these.

The Gemini decks look like they will be amazing, and perhaps the best yet from Stockholm17.

Package received this morning (Sydney, Australia). Completely blown away with the quality, what a fantastic testament to the devotion you have to your craft. Beside myself with excitement about the Gemini box and sundries still to come! The way you ran this campaign, providing regular and informative updates on Kickstarter, here and on social media, makes you the absolute benchmark for how the ultimate playing card Kickstarter project should look. Sincerest thanks, can't wait to back each and every thing you bring out in the future!!

Guys, thank you so much for the great feedback. I worked very hard on Gemini. As you now it is a project that started in 2015 with the first sketches. I am also very happy with the outcome of the wooden box, that came out perfectly :)
Now I work a bit with Ravn Purple Haze, then i take a little break and I can continue with The House of The Rising Spades.
I need some time to get ideas for special and attractive items.
thank you again!
cheers

I got home yesterday and was able to open mine. The decks are amazing, the stickers, pins, and coin are superb, and the uncuts are exquisite.

Can't wait for my collectors box to arrive.

Experimental deck (!) and handcrafted box [insert flabbergasted dumbstruck emoticon here] arrived in NJ USA. Words simply cannot do justice. Untoppable. There, I made one up.

Absolutely beautiful! :)
My package arrived the other day and it felt like Christmas! I had picked out two favourite cards beforehand (KoH & QoC) and it felt quite serendipitous to find them paired up on the same card! :) That said, the entire deck is truly gorgeous - and all the cards are quickly becoming favourites! Thank you!

hello everybody!

about Gemini collector items, I am working on a very special thing. Actually 2: one for myself, and one for someone willing to buy it.
I ordered a brass plate with gemini noctis graphics, framed it with a fancy thick wooden frame, and I am going to build a wooden display for Gemini Noctis nr. 0001/2000, maybe an overkill, but I think it fits.

I am at 50% of the job, this is how it looks from outside. When ready I will post all the details and how it will work.

Image

I dont now how much this thing will cost, I just know it is costing me a lot lol
But for the sake of the beauty I decided to do it
I hope you like it
cheers!
