The Astro is a handmade leather tarot mat for three-card spreads. Three placements sit side by side, a crescent moon to the left and right and a sun at the centre, each sized for a standard tarot card. A band of sun and moon phases runs across the top. Every card you draw has its own place.
Each of these unique leather tarot mats is meticulously handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
Inspiration
The idea of this was originally conceived after discussing the art of tarot with my esoteric advisor (@otiorumstudio). Being able to provide a medium for tarot cards to be thoughtfully placed felt like a exciting opportunity to lean into my design and problem-solving skills. It took two years to refine the details and give the design its finishing touches.
Includes
- Branded presentation box, to store and display your collection piece.
- Sealed thank you note
- Certificate of Authenticity
- Two Polaroid photos taken during the crafting process (an extra keepsake for scrapbooking)
Approximate Dimensions
- The dimensions of the mat are 290mm wide by 210mm tall by 6mm thick.
- The card placements are 120mm tall and 70mm wide, which is ideal for the most common size of tarot card.
How it's made
The decorative front is made from full grain 9oz (3.5mm) vegetable tanned leather. I've carefully dyed, antiqued, and finished the piece to achieve a rich, wooden sheen that enhances the natural beauty of the full grain leather. The intricate decoration blends custom-made stamping tools and detailed hand-carving, showcasing traditional craftsmanship. Each tarot card slot was precisely measured to fit standard-sized (70mm x 120mm) tarot cards, providing a snug placement for your card draws.
The reverse side features full grain 5oz (2.5mm) vegetable tanned leather, also dyed, antiqued, and finished to complement the front. I've stamped it with thoughtful text and the Sigil & Hide logo, adding a personal and authentic touch to the mat.
To bring both sides together, the two pieces of leather are adhered and sewn using durable and discreet polyester thread. The edges have also been burnished, and an acrylic dark brown paint applied for protection.
Natural Leather Characteristics
Natural Leather Characteristics
- The colour of your leather piece may differ slightly from what you see on your screen.
- Due to the dyeing process, the colour may vary slightly depending on the area of the leather.
- As full-grain leather undergoes minimal processing, natural wrinkles may remain visible and their patterns can vary from piece to piece.
- With natural leather, some blemishes are to be expected, though I always do my best to keep these to a minimum.
