Artist's Comments

******

This is a response to a prompt on the winter SS/HG exchange: 'Medieval tapestry.' My guess is that this tapestry went up in a dark corner of some memorial hallway or wing at the Ministry, or at a museum.

Here's a bit of dialogue to go with it:

Ron: Look - there they are.
Harry: Ah, they got Lupin's face all wrong -
Ron: At least they picked a good one for Tonks.
Harry: They're not about to use cloth-of-gold to make a pig nose.
*pause*
Harry: I can't get past Lupin's face. Who the hell made this thing, anyway?
Ron: Let's ask Hermione - she's got the brochure. Hermione? ... 'Mione?

The verse is Yeats, the media are watercolor & permanent marker, and any and all mistakes w/ perspective and/or Photoshop are my own.

Awww...

Lovely imagery, but when have you failed with that?
*pause*
*wistful envious smile at rhetorical question turns to evil grin*

...

(OK, I promise to never mention that again if you like. Sorry. Couldn't resist.*snicker*)

This is quite lovely and moving, and right. And Yeats? "The center cannot hold", no less?
Striking.
Poor, brave Severus.

ARGH!! IT was LATE!! I was DRUNK!!

well, maybe not drunk. But I reread that phrase and my jaw dropped and I was all like: "hells, no I DINT" and you were like: "wtf, mate?"

*sulks*

I could try and turn it into some learned and arcane meditation on the horror associated with the Abject (i.e. up close and personal w/ food, eating, and other bodily functions more unmentionable than sex) but it just would be tapdancing around the fact that, yes, I wrote a dud.

Damn.

:) Thanks for your comment, for being there with a ready pin to prick Ye Writerely Ego of Mafsive Size, and for the Yeats catch. Love that poem to pieces.

*snickers* again.

Hey, it was a small dud, your average batting record is superb, it's all gone, and I'm not so petty as to keep dangling the reminder and taunt you with it (... no, really. Begone, Your Royal Gloatiness.)
To err is human, much to Satan!Jareth's delight - n'est ce pas? ;)

And you're doing just fiiiiine with other food-related imagery.
Like Goblin Kings and green sugar. *purr*
And maybe cake?
WANTS!

*sigh* Poor Hermione...the expression on her face so sad. And love her hair!

Well, it's not quite a mop, and its not quite a puppet, but maaan...so, to answer your question, I don't know.

Same story, different versions...and all are true.
