Kickstarter - Entwined Volume 4: Spring Playing Cardshttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oldgravity/entwined-volume-4-spring-playing-cards-deckLuxury playing cards based on the ballet of nature and freedom of spiritProject ends: Thurs, 11 April 2024
Spring is the season of life, when nature awakens from the icy cold of winter, streams flow, flowers emerge, and colours burst forth. It is this joyous beauty of nature that is captured by this custom deck of luxury playing cards.

This is the fourth in a series of gorgeous and high quality artistic decks of playing cards produced by Old Gravity, which consists of artist Ritu Bhattacharya and designer Bivas Bhattacharjee. The team has already produced three gorgeous Entwined decks that correspond to the other three seasons. The Spring deck is Vol 4, but it can be enjoyed as a work of art on its own, or alongside with the previous three entries in the series.
Spring Gold deckJust as with previously Entwined decks, there are two main options, a Gold deck and a Rose deck. Firstly there's the Spring Gold deck, which has a tuck box with lavish olive-gold foil and embossing.

The court cards really showcase Ritu's lovely artwork, and evoke feelings of spring, life, and dance.

The Aces feature oversized pips and stylish art.

One of the things I really like about this deck is the special attention given to the number cards. These adopt a semi-transformation style, with the value of each card corresponding to the number of pip-shaped leaves on tree branches.

The Jokers also look charming.
Spring Rose deckWhile the Gold deck has olive-gold foil on the card backs and tuck box, the Rose deck instead uses rose-gold foil. Here's the exquisite tuck box from the Spring Rose deck.

The card backs feature an elegant swan design, with shimmering foil for a true luxury look.

The decks are being printed by playing card manufacturer NPCC, which is especially well known for producing high end luxury tuck boxes.
Collector's BoxAs with previous project, discerning collectors wanting to get the very best option available can pledge to get a "Collector's Box". This is a teal-coloured luxury box that is richly decorated with rose-gold foil, and opens to reveal one of each deck, along with a special brass coin.

The series[/size]
Collectors will love the fact that if you do have all four decks (one for each season), they make make up a single polyptych image when put alongside each other, picturing a tree of life. This is true both for the Gold decks and for the Rose decks.

Along with the new decks, you can also get previous decks in the series as add ons. I have a copy of the three previous Entwined decks, and they are truly stunning, and have impressed everyone I've shown them to. I have no doubt the same this will be the case with the Spring version of this deck.
This is a wonderful custom deck that can be enjoyed on its own, as an example of some of the very finest custom playing cards on the market today, or together with the other three decks. Bravo Old Gravity!
