 In this project, the Ugly Duckling V2 is the sequel to the V1. The theme is that of a glamorous and charming black swan. This is the deck’s first appearance. Limited to 999 decks, with numbered seal.

The playing cards boasts the unique shade of watercolor on canvas to form an almost translucent texture with distinct layers. The color is fresh and vividly depicts the extraordinary temperament of the swan. Fine metallic ink is used for printing. The cursive lettering of ‘The Ugly Duckling’, surrounds the black swan.

 V2: Illustration by Russian artist Elizaveta Ruzanova, copyright usage of her artwork.

Card face has been adjusted, and Suits have been painted over with watercolor texture. You can see the flow of watercolors on each card. The colors of the whole deck of cards show movement yet are unified.

Four ACES are based on the unique makeup and costumes of ballerinas when they play the Black Swan. The black feathers at the canthus (edge of the eye), the slender wrists, the red lip color similar to the beak of the black swan, and the vast expanse of empty space give us freedom of imagination. A beautiful black swan appears before your eyes.

The design adopts Ugly Duckling around swans and the same silver decorative pattern as the previous version, continuing the gracefulness and romance of the fairy tale series.

Each deck is sealed with series numbered label with the name Andersen on it, in honor of Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish writer, and master of fairy tales. Printed by 808 in Taiwan, China
