Saints days

A transatlantic collaboration between Annette Gates and Cynthia Lollis combines female saints, daily experiences, and the Italian card game Scopa. 

The sold-out deluxe edition of 25 included a small porcelain box with a deck of 40 saint cards in addition to the standard edition still available.

The standard edition is a porcelain box measuring 2.5” W x 4.75” H that includes a unique accordion fold book and pamphlet with one card from each of the four suits inserted into a coordinating pocket, making a flexible narrative that can change with a randomly “dealt” hand.

The deluxe edition is sold out.
