🛸 XVI. THE RECLAMATION

Faux Tarot Series | Card XVI

The cows have unionized. Abductions are canceled. 🐄✊

BREAKING NEWS: Aliens tried it. Cows said no.

After decades of unexplained disappearances, unsolicited tractor beams, and an alarming lack of consent, the cows have officially had enough.

They've organized. They've mobilized. They've reviewed their options.

And effective immediately, all abductions are canceled.

Welcome to The Reclamation, where the livestock have finally decided they're done being everyone else's science experiment.

No more midnight joyrides in flying saucers. No more mysterious examinations. No more being aggressively vacuumed into the atmosphere while peacefully minding their own damn business.

The cows are taking their power back.

And honestly? Good for them.

Because beneath the ridiculousness of extraterrestrial bovine labor disputes, there's a little something more going on here.

The Reclamation is about taking back what belongs to you.

Your autonomy. Your boundaries. Your voice. Your right to tell someone to kindly fuck all the way off when they've mistaken your patience for permission.

Sometimes reclaiming your power is a monumental act of courage.

And sometimes it's a cow looking an alien dead in its enormous, soulless eyes and saying, "Not today, you weird little bitch."

Either way, we support the movement.

No more beams. No more bullshit. The cows have spoken. 🛸🐄

🐄 A Closer Look at the Uprising

The Reclamation takes the classic alien-abduction scene and gives it a much-needed plot twist.

Instead of helplessly floating toward an uncertain fate, our bovine friends have decided to take matters into their own hooves.

This panel combines the absurdity of an alien invasion with a surprisingly relatable message about autonomy, resistance, and refusing to accept circumstances simply because they've always been that way.

And because this is part of my Faux Tarot collection, the entire scene is presented in the style of a tarot card.

A little sci-fi. A little rebellion. A whole lot of audacity.

Each panel is individually crafted using traditional stained glass techniques, with every piece cut, ground, foiled, soldered, and finished by hand.

🛠️ Made to Order: The Revolution Will Be Handcrafted

PLEASE NOTE: THIS LISTING IS FOR A BRAND-NEW, MADE-TO-ORDER PIECE.

The artwork photographed is a previously completed panel from my original Faux Tarot series.

You are purchasing a newly handcrafted version of an existing design that has already been created and successfully executed.

Because I've built this pattern before, minor adjustments may be made to improve the construction, refine details discovered during the original execution, or accommodate available glass materials.

Any proposed changes that would materially affect the artwork's appearance will be disclosed and discussed with you before your purchase is finalized.

⏳ Production Time

Estimated turnaround: 4–6 weeks.

Each piece is handcrafted individually, so production times may vary depending on my current workload, material availability, and the complexity of the design.

Any significant changes to your estimated completion date will be communicated.

The cows may have organized overnight, but stained glass production unfortunately requires a little more patience.

💰 Why Does Handmade Stained Glass Cost What It Does?

Because overthrowing an extraterrestrial regime is surprisingly expensive.

Especially when you're doing it with stained glass.

Every panel begins with an original pattern that requires planning, designing, and figuring out how to translate an illustration into individual pieces of glass that can actually be cut, assembled, and supported structurally.

Then comes sourcing the glass, cutting each piece, grinding everything until it fits, applying copper foil, soldering, cleaning, and finishing.

And that's before factoring in specialized tools, equipment, consumable supplies, and the many hours required to bring the entire design together.

The price reflects the cost of the materials, the original design work, the specialized equipment, and the hours of craftsmanship involved in creating each panel.

This isn't mass-produced artwork rolling off an assembly line.

It's an individually handcrafted piece made by someone who decided that a cow-led rebellion against alien kidnappers was a perfectly reasonable use of expensive glass.

And frankly, I stand by that decision.

🖤 The Fine Print (Even Revolutions Have Rules)

Handmade Means Handmade

Each Rainjarden Does panel is individually handcrafted.

Minor variations in glass color, texture, solder lines, and overall appearance are natural characteristics of handmade artwork.

No two pieces will be completely identical.

Lighting Matters

Stained glass has a personality of its own.

Colors and textures can appear dramatically different depending on natural light, artificial lighting, backgrounds, and screen settings.

Your artwork may look slightly different in person than it does in photographs.

Glass Is Glass

Stained glass is beautiful, fragile, and occasionally a little stabby.

Handle with care, display securely, and keep away from small children, pets, and anyone who thinks a flying saucer is an acceptable transportation method for livestock.
