I got a new, higher-end wood burning tool for Christmas, which meant it was time to come back to this half-finished piece I had tucked away! I hand-sketched the design using the original card as reference (seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7fGNGgn-Tj/?igshid=qyddc4rywkoh). The first third was done with my old Walnut Hollow beginner's tool, and the rest with my new wire-tipped, adjustable temp tool. The wire tip was so much easier to use!

This this the fourth I believe I've done in this series; I've also completed the Magician, the Hermit, and the Star, and someday may work my way through the entire major arcana. We'll see!
