This is an original, one-of-a-kind mixed-media ACEO ("Art Card, Edition and Original").
It is based on the design of the card game Quiddler, which is a bit like Scrabble, but with playing cards. The goal of the game is to form words with your hand and get the most points. Different letters and combinations of letters are worth different amounts of points. The original Quiddler deck has designs of letters inspired by Celtic manuscripts from 500-800 AD.
This card features a "Tu" combination that I adapted from "The Book of Kells," one of the manuscipts that Quiddler references, although there is no actual "Tu" card in the game.
