This is certainly the handiest •objet d’art• we have ever updated about!

We have had a lot of pledges upgrading to our 1001 Nights Golden Hand, so we wanted to share a new rendering with our backers.



The Hamsa, also known as The Hand of Fatima, is depicted as an open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in earlier times throughout history. The hamsa is believed by some, to provide defense against the evil eye. It has been theorized that its origins lie in ancient Egypt and Persia. 

I have designed my 1001 Nights Golden Hand to serve as a holder for an incense cone. The cone fits perfectly over the Evil Eye of the Hand, which now cannot see, so you are now completely safe!

The 1001 Nights Golden Hand will be masterfully 3D printed in high fidelity to the intentions of the original drawings. Each hand is individually printed in steel with a lovely gold colour finish. The 1001 Nights Golden Hand will make the perfect compliment to your 1001 Nights playing cards, so head over to Kickstarter and get one for yourself now. 

Oh… and one more thing… :) 

We are running a MASSIVE GIVEAWAY on Instagram - so check that out here

A Tale Told Beneath a Red Sky

To celebrate the end of 2018 and usher in 2019 we are making a great push towards our first stretch goal for 1001 Nights - INSIDE TUCK PRINTING!

Both 1001 Nights tucks will be USPCC soft touch pure white stock, which perfectly compliments the strong black and white intensity of the design. The inside the tuck design will feature an awesome red interior with shining white stars! It’s going to look amazing, but we need your help to realise it. So continue to spread the word to your families and friends on social media!


The Sun |
The Sun is the great Cosmic Eye gazing upon its dominion during the day. It is Life, Power, Strength and Clarity - the essence of the Self. The Sun resonates with male energy, like the Crow rising in glory and power. It signifies the completion of the Great Work.


The Moon |
The Moon is wholly feminine, the creative Life Force, the Maker of Tides rolling to the rhythm of Life. She reflects the light of the Sun onto us, and illuminates the darkness within and without.

We’ve added the Stamp Seal below, a special request from our collector backers:


The Stamp Seal features the Crow, rising up through the sky between the Sun and The Moon, a fitting image to seal your decks… until curiosity overwhelms you and you decide to break the seal! 

We would like to wish you a wonderful and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
