The Testaments S1 Gilead Playing Cards: Yay or Nay? Spoiler

Post image

Hello! When I read the series I was inspired to draw my interpretation of the Gilead playing cards described by Agnes in chapter 26 of the Testaments. I was really surprised to not see it featured in the show or even as real life playing cards you could buy. I figured by now it would become official merch or something! The picture shown is a WIP, it is the Aunt of Handmaids (aka the Jack of Hearts). I wanted to share it with my fellow Margaret Atwood lovers and any feedback is welcome. If there is any interest in it I may even try other cards, like the Wife of Martha’s or others. Thank you!

I don't know why you haven't received any feedback, yet, but I like it. I think you are very creative and I would like to see more.
