Okay, finished pics, and not a day too late! :wink:

The card drawn for me was "Strength"."The design of this card is fairly constant across tarot decks. The key characters are that of a woman and a lion, with the woman looking calm and gentle, yet dominant over the lion.

The lion represents our strong inner passions, the woman purity. The woman, confident in her abilities, easily tames the lion with virtually no physical strength.
True Strength is fortitude of character, and the ability to not only control the emotions, but to rise above them, and triumph over all out lower impulses and desires."

I received my inspiration from Tiki-Kate's thread on Cannibal carvings: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=33940&forum=5&hilite=cannibal
mainly this pic:

And ended up with this:

And two pics to show it in the FBG:
