Material

from the Rider Waite tarot deck, this is a sew on patch of The Fool.
In tarot card reading, the Fool is usually considered part of the Major Arcana. This is not true in tarot card games; the Fool's role in most games is independent of both the plain suit cards and the trump cards, and the card does not belong to either category. As such, most tarot decks originally made for game playing do not assign a number to the Fool indicating its rank in the suit of trumps; it has none. Waite gives the Fool the number 0, but in his book discusses the Fool between Judgment, no. 20, and The World, no. 21. The only traditional game deck that numbers the Fool 0 is the Tarocco Piemontese. Since the 1930s, Tarot Nouveau decks often use a black inverted mullet as the corner index for the Fool. In almost all tarot games, the Fool is one of the most valuable cards.

All patches are hand drawn, silk screened, hand made by me. No AI is used for anything I make

Depending on how you sew the patches, they may fray a bit over time, or when put in the wash. If you want a frayed look, use a more spaced apart stich pattern. If you want to prevent fraying, use a tight, close together stich pattern.

Black Fabric: 100% cotton, 10-12 oz canvas or 14 oz twill (depending on availability)
Natural Fabric: 100% cotton, 10-12 oz canvas (depending on availability)

Care: patches are colour fast and the print will survive in the wash. they can go in the dryer, but I recommend hanging to dry any garment with patches sewn on to them. DO NOT IRON THE PRINTED AREA. if you do need to iron the patch, either upside down or with a piece of fabric between the patch and the iron.
