Venexiana is now just $119 away from its goal! Nine days remain! I was sure it would have funded by now, but it's really, REALLY close.

Now it's really close but from above!

Thank you all for your support! I was very anxious about funding because my deck was a bit after or along with great decks and that made things more difficult.
But now it's done!

I had no doubts that you'd get funded - it was only a matter of time. Cheers to you!

Holy shit man, edit your post with the link, I had to scroll down to find someone ELSE posted the link. I doubt many random viewers would go that far. Get visibility man!

I never thought I'd see this deck on KS, but the day has come

Good luck to you, and I hope it gets some big bucks on the last day or two. If I had more cash to throw around right now, I would buy a brick of these.

Thanks Alex, I just did it! :-) Better late than never...

Some really bad news ... the project creator canceled the alternate-color-back stretch goal. For me this is a real shame. This is such a gorgeous deck, it really deserves the alternate color pairing.

"So I decided to cancel this stretch goal, and leave the project as it was before, only with the custom seal and the two different boxes (white and black, same back). As almost all of you have loved the black back (I love it too) we may decide to keep this as the back of the deck. We'll see about it.

Those of you who have increased your pledge in order to get the black back deck, please feel free to decrease your pledges. We're writing history here: The first KS project where the creator invites the backers to decrease their pledges!"

Hey, just some advice, you should contact the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas and see if they would want to stock your deck in their gift shops.

That is an excellent idea! You should definitely check on that Lotrek. It couldn't hurt. It might be tough to find the right person who could approve a decision like that.

Thanks, Randy

Thanks Randy and Alex,

I already contacted them...

It will have a much more interesting and appropriate pairing. Check update #19

The decision to create the black deck as a separate project is quite brilliant, actually. It allows you to really focus on it and make it a true complement to the original rather than a simple color change of the back. Color changes are fine, sure, but what you're planning is more ambitious and something your backers will be anticipating.

Lotrek · « **Reply #38 on:** August 19, 2013, 04:15:22 AM »

I agree Don, the great thing is that I didn't have something like that in mind. It just came from the comments of the backers after the cancellation of the black back stretch goal.

I got the first reports from people receiving their decks! Until now only domestic. I hope international backers will get it from Monday on.

Got mine as well Thank you very much

Mine came today too. They feel like old friends.....very nice to have them in hand! Lovely work altogether.

Can't stop fiddling around with these cards. I received about a brick and half of cards from different places today and these are my favorites. The only downside was that one of my decks had a crashed corner. And I've absolutely fallen in love with the Queen of Hearts. Stunning artwork!

You wouldn't happen to have any uncuts available still would you, Lotrek?

Thanks chach, I love the queen of hearts too! Uncuts? VERY few.

It's great to hear people reporting how much they like my deck. Thank you all!!!
