(2008) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.
Sorry for the Tarot dump during my current submissions, but now that I'm done I just want to put the deck out there before I get back to other projects.
The 7s are associated with the energies of Venus and at the danger of harping on old stereotypes of the feminine they are involved with a view of the world colored by emotion, wishful thinking and misconceptions.
For the Disks and the material plane this does not make for good news: to approach a project with the wrong assumptions and with an unrealistic outlook will result in only one thing: failure. When drawn this card will prepare you for things to go wrong. If you are already in the middle of a disaster, don't follow false hopes, be realistic and accept the consequences.
As an image I chose the infamous cursed opal necklace at Borgin and Burke's that Harry first sees in COS and that Draco uses unsuccessfully in HBP to try and bring about Dumbledore's demise. First off, it gave me 7 set stones for 7 disks, and second: how better to express failure in the material world than through an object that can kill by mere touch.
Can't remember all I wrote before it crashed, but short version, I like the style and the idea is perfect, and your black and whites are always stunning, but it makes me sad for opals to not be in color

That necklace bothered me when it made it's comeback in HBP. I liked it in CoS, I thought it was a wonderful nod to the superstition that opals are unlucky to anyone who doesn't have it as a birthstone (which I do, Yay for October!). I've always loved the way JK weaves those superstitions and folklore through the series. But when it came back in HBP I was a little dissappointed in how it worked. The slightest touch causes instant and dramatic results? Makes me wonder how the Muggles let it get to 19 deaths...

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.
