Potter Manor

A while ago I came across these pictures, which I soon discovered were taken at the Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, UK, and they gave me an idea of what the Potter Manor might have looked like.

It's warm and welcoming, cosy but spacious; still, you can clearly tell that it's the home of a wealthy family, and it has some similarities with the Gryffindor common room. This is where I envision James growing up, where Fleamont and Euphemia spent their days, where Sirius finally felt at home.

Exploring Beautiful Kitchens (Part 2)

Here's another collection of beautiful kitchens that may inspire and even elevate some of us into better cooks!

Another remarkable film that celebrates the art of cooking, savoring delicious food, and bridging differences is 'The Hundred-Foot Journey.'

It tells the story of the Kadam family, who leave India for France to open a restaurant right across the road from Madame Mallory's Michelin-starred eatery. Naturally, all sorts of drama unfolds, with a touch of romance thrown in. It's a heartwarming film that will undoubtedly spark your desire to relocate to France, shop for fresh produce in local markets, and craft exquisite meals.

AML is my favorite book I’ve read all year — it’s absolutely dazzling. I have so many scenes in my audiobook timestamped to try drawing when I can. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

You may have already answered this, but I can’t seem to find it. What art history did you look into when thinking about Robin’s interest in art? Turner, Monet, Morris and Tiffany all come up at different points, but I haven’t been able to find them all linked to a core art movement or themes. This isn’t meant to be a gotcha question, I just want to know if there’s a place or a term I can start to search for other relevant artists (I have fic wheels I want to set in motion XD).

thank you so much!

re: the art -- my mother has always loved William Morris so I grew up with his designs everywhere. but most of it, honestly, comes from knowledge I've absorbed wandering purposefully around art galleries.

I first came across Tiffany's work at the Met in NYC, and once I realised how much I loved European modernism I then started seeking out examples of other design movements of the period such as the Glasgow School and the Jugendstil. I deliberately visited Wightwick Manor in England to get a sense of how it felt to move through a house done up in dense Arts & Crafts style. and it's a good thing I had already written the book before I visited Barcelona, or I'm sure some Catalan Modernism and Gaudí would have snuck in sideways.)

the portrait of Lady Blyth is by John Singer Sargent because I adore his portraits and they gave me a lot of great examples of the fashions of the time. and I namedropped Turner and Monet in Robin's narration in particular because their work fits neatly into the book's recurring imagery of light, and I wanted Robin to think of Edwin in those terms.

O, ye Blossoms. Why, they shall fall.

Well I must say, the tree blossoms this year are just the prettiest I have seen. And a little wander amongst the blossom trees is such a welcome blessing at the moment.🕊

🍃A blossom tree faery, did I see

Why she blushed, for she be

Sitting neath the bough of a blossom tree

And, she be looking o’er at me

O, but I must tell thee

She be

The prettiest thing, I ever did see

And like a fleeting moment, the blossoms do fall, so hurry, hurry along whilst the Spring blossoms are here. As the wind is picking up and shall surely come and blow them all away🍃

Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall (25 July 1829 – 11 February 1862), better known as Elizabeth Siddal,was an English artist, poet, and artists' model. Significant collections of her artworks can be found at Wightwick Manor and the Ashmolean. Siddal was painted and drawn extensively by artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including Walter Deverell, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais (including his notable 1852 painting Ophelia), and especially by her husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
