We are happy to announce that the antique decks are inbound with a delivery date of tomorrow.
They had to order more paper for the basic decks, which are in progress, and I expect to get them soon as well.
We appreciate your patience as my husband, and I navigated ordering and prepping these. We are a small team of two, and this is over 400 orders to send out. It will take a bit of time but It will be worth it. Shipping will begin after we get back from Emerald City Comic Con the week of the 16th.
For those of you who are attending Emerald City Comic Con, we will be there in person in the Artist Alley. Stop by and say hello.
The decks are currently in progress at the printer, and there isn't much else to update. We expect them sometime this month. Mostly everything else is done or in progress. The sketchbooks are slightly behind, but I'm hoping to get those rolling into production soon as well.
As for the coloring books, a couple of the line art pieces needed to be redone. They were accidentally merged with the color layers. Thankfully, that is moving along smoothly now, though. One of the downsides of autosave in Adobe Cloud.
Thank you, everyone, for your patience as we are getting this project closer to the finish line.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask here or email [email protected].
While this campaign started in May, this project has been something I have wanted to create since I was in junior high.
It means so much to me that all of you have been along for the ride with my husband and I. We are eternally grateful not only for your support but also for your kind words as we both worked to bring this project to life.
With all of my creative projects, this took longer than planned. I appreciate your patience as I worked to wrangle my inspiration and creativity.
As the deck needed some TLC, the Coloring book ended up going on the back burner; however, I am halfway done compiling it. Expect that digital reward soon.
The artwork is awaiting a final pass by Misha and Jennie to see if there are any issues. Feel free to take a look here. If all goes well, they will begin shipping in February.

I'm happy to announce that the first round of card proofs arrived during Dragonsteel Nexus last week.
While it is a step in the right direction, a few things need to shift with the art. I will be trying hurriedly to finish all the needed changes over the next two weeks.
Jennie Stevens did the first shuffle and card pull. I'm happy to say she pulled the Star as the first card TWICE when she read my cards.
Your support and patience means the world to me as I get this deck completed and looking its best. As always let me know if you have questions.
VIDEO OF SHUFFLE AND FIRST CARD DRAW
You can see the first shuffle and card draw here . Jennie was able to do a few other card draws for Misha, herself and a few attendee's at Dragonsteel Nexus.
DRAGONSTEEL NEXUS 2025
What a whirlwind of amazing people. Lots of new and old friends, amazing volunteers and employees.
Special thanks to Jane and Emily with the Lightweaver Foundation and many others who helped us get set up for the live painting.
Thank you Howard, Esther, Steve, Kari, Carly, Dan, Donato for having me join you on stage painting. It was the perfect event to end Dragonsteel Nexus 2025. Thank you Isaac for interviewing us artists and being an all around amazing person and artist.
Drawing by Brandon Sanderson, painting by yours truly. Ugin the Spirit Dragon is on auction with the proceeds going to the Lightweaver Foundation.
I look forward to painting some fan art of Starling after the Tarot deck and Anthology are completed. She is my new favorite Cosmere character, but you all knew that already I'm sure.
Now, onwards to finishing the final touches on the Tarot Deck and celebrating the past year. Thank you, everyone who purchased from me this year. It has been another one for the record books.
Cheers!

The time is near! I am getting my first print sample of the full deck. Earlier this morning, the printer received the files. Currently, they will try to get them shipped this week, but it is a Holiday so that maybe next week.
After receiving the files, I can truly compare and contrast the detail level and colors of each card. A few still need tweaking, but I'm thrilled with the outcome so far.
I will keep you posted as soon as they arrive.
AROUND THE STUDO
There will be an open studio this Saturday at Drawn to Dragons @ Provo Towne Centre in Utah. My Gallery and Studio from 1pm to 6pm. There is also a holiday sale going from Nov 28th - Dec 3rd. If you are in the area come and check it out.
SURVEYS and PAYMENTS
There are still quite a few of you who have not updated your card and or finished your survey.
I cannot ship your copy of Draco Nouveau Tarot until you complete it. Please make sure that you have.
For those of you who have, please make sure your addresses and orders are correct as we are nearing the finish line.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with family and friends this week.
DRAGONSTEEL NEXUS
Dragonsteel is almost upon us! I'm happy to announce that I will be vending and partnering with Lightweaver again this year with some amazing illustrators to paint live Saturday evening on the main stage. The artists are Donato, Howard Lyon, Dan Dos Santos, Steve Argyle, Kari Christiansen, Carly Milligan, and many more.
Brandon Sanderson sketched what we will paint on his Halloween stream last month, and I can't wait to get to paint it. You can see that video here, Howard was kind enough to name drop Draco Nouveau in the video. You can skip to the 2nd hour of the video to see the magic.
You will also be able to find Drawn to Dragons vending in the Breathmarket in exhibitor hall booth B-24.
