Eastern Forest Playing Cards - Art of Play

Shuffle the deck and deal a miniature ecosystem. What links the lives of the creatures in your hand? What connections – seen and unseen – do you have to these sylvan beings? Feel, look, listen, and smell: seek out the forest.

Turn on your senses and explore the forest! Every suit is a sense. 

♥ are invitations to touch and feel through your skin: textures of plants, heat of animal bodies, and springiness of wood. 

♦ awaken eyes to flash of firefly, gleam of wildflower, and patterns on leaves.

♣ open ears to the forest’s many howls, songs, footfalls, and tree rustles. 

♠ call us to taste and smell yummy fruit and bitter leaf.
