In both cases, and for a fleeting moment, they looked nice, but then I never know when to stop.

IF: 'Seed'

'El Boig' ('The Fool')
ink & watercolour

This is an old illustration from a long forgotten project of mine (I only managed to do three out of 22 Arcana- ahem).
I thought of this when i read this week's theme for illustration Friday, I think it fits perfectly :).

Description of The Fool card by Joan Bunning

"As Card 0, the Fool lies at the beginning of the major arcana, but also somewhat apart from the other cards. In medieval courts, the court jester was someone who was not expected to follow the same rules as others. He could observe and then poke fun. This makes the Fool unpredictable and full of surprises. He reminds us of the unlimited potential and spontaneity inherent in every moment. There is a sense with this card that anything goes - nothing is certain or regular. The Fool adds the new and unfamiliar to a situation.

The Fool also represents the complete faith that life is good and worthy of trust. Some might call the Fool too innocent, but his innocence sustains him and brings him joy. In readings, the Fool can signal a new beginning or change of direction - one that will guide you onto a path of adventure, wonder and personal growth. He also reminds you to keep your faith and trust your natural responses. If you are facing a decision or moment of doubt, the Fool tells you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem."
