This piece is the piece that took me the longest to finish. I think out of all the ideas I've had this was the strongest and truest to the prompt. The prompt was ordinary to extraordinary, and I accomplished this by using an ordinary medium, aka index cards and marker, and the extraordinary aspect comes from the mystical value of the images on the cards. The origin of tarot cards in a mystical sense is actually a relatively new idea, popularized in 1909 with the creation of the most famous artwork now known as the Rider-Waite deck. What's interesting is that the artist was actually a woman, named Pamela Smith. It was still new for a woman to attempt something so well known, but it definitely worked out for the better because of the immediate popularity of both the art style and the cards themselves.
