11:28 pm - ART - Page of Pentacles by Venturous
Title: Page of Pentacles
Artist: [info]venturous
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Severus Snape
Rating: G
Disclaimer: this is a transformative work of fan appreciation
Warnings: none
Summary: Young Severus contemplates his magic.
Cards Drawn: Page of Coins
Card Interpretation:
"Studious scholarship. A bringer of messages,
someone who is methodical, deliberate; who considers every move carefully."

Artist Notes: This is based on the card in my current favorite, the DruidCraft deck, with the exception that in that deck this card is a Princess rather than a Page. I'll let ickle Sevvie's gender ambiguity suffice. I've always loved his place by the river, where he goes to work out who he is and what is important. And of course, eventually meets Lily.

12:16 pm - Art (Part 2/2): Three of Cups and Three of Swords
My apologies for this being a touch late, apparently be relaxing and thinking I had plenty of time, whilst making me more relaxed about the art, made me fail about the timing!

Part 1 is HERE, I'd recommend looking at those first, as they do follow on. If you want to read the (vague) story outline I created these images from, see the cut at the bottom.

Title: Research and Longing
Artist: [info]angelbabecj
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry, Snape/Draco
Rating: G/PG
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: None
Summary: Harry helps Snape and Draco research Snape's defence from trial. Harry is a little jealous.
Cards Drawn: N/A
Artist Notes: My thanks, as before, to [info]lilydahlia and [info]ravenna_c_tan



Title: Three of Cups
Artist: [info]angelbabecj
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry, Snape and Draco
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: None
Cards Drawn: Three of Cups
Card Interpretation: Friendship and sharing. Deep connections, and celebration. The three cups are being held aloft in celebration by people from diferent backgrounds or cultures, working together while keeping their individuality.
Artist Notes: Thanks to [info]lilydahlia and [info]ravenna_c_tan as before. Also, if you can't make it out Harry's cup has a phoenix on it, Draco's an 'M' and Snape's is meant to show hidden depths. I see the closeness they've developed preparing Snape's defence, whilst being individuals due to backgrounds, despite their similarities.



Title: Three of Swords (reversed)
Artist: [info]angelbabecjType: </b> Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry/Snape/Draco or Drapery
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: Implied nudity and sexual situations
Summary: Draco and Snape weren't oblivious, or against the longing!
Cards Drawn: Three of Swords, reversed.
Card Interpretation: The usual symbol for this card is a heart, pierced by three swords. Reversed, however, it may refer to a release from sorrow or depression. I've slightly twisted the meaning, Harry's sorrow was that he couldn't be part of Draco and Snape's relationship, k? Also Ravenna mentioned to me she sees Slytherins as swords, which I can certainly see, and I associate Harry with the Sword of Gryffindor, hence their are three swords in the picture!
Artist Notes: As ever, my thanks to [info]lilydahlia and [info]ravenna_c_tan for the resolution change and encouragement, and the original reading respectively.

04:30 am - Art: The Empress (Narcissa) by soramame_kun
Title: The Empress
Artist: soramame_kun
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Narcissa Malfoy
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: This is fan art. The original Harry Potter is the property of Bloomsbury and JK Rowling.
Warnings: none (a first for any of my pieces!)
Summary: This is my first piece of fan art after a year. I have gone into semi-retirement since my son was born last July as I have not enough time these days as a young mother! Please please forgive the lower standard of my work than previously as I am horribly out of practice. I enjoyed doing this though, it made me all nostlagic for my days in HP Fandom. The card interpretation is under the cut as I prefer you to form your own interpretaion of it first before reading how I interpreted it.

Cards Drawn: The Empress
Card Interpretation: The Empress is a creator of all things. She is the fertile womb where all things gestate and grow till they are ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her. She can smother, be possessive and jealous and her children can suffer from being over-protected as well as neglected. She is usually depicted with wheat as a symbol of abundance as well as a crown of stars.

01:41 am - Art: 8 of Wands, 9 of Coins, 10 of Cups by sweetlemmon
So this is my very first time @ [info]hp_tarot  . My little art is so pale before those wonderful pieces I’ve seen so far that I feel a little shy. I’d a very busy month and to be honest, I am not satisfied with the result of these three pieces.
Anyways, here it is:

Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: LUNA
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: These characters belongs to JKR and no money is made by the art
Warnings: None
Summary: When I drew the card, I immediately thought of Luna. I confess I wanted to draw a very pretty woman in kind of a historical costume, so I didn't adhere to JKR's description of her. Hope you'll like this interpretation.
The Queen is lying dreamily on the ground, wrapped in her coat, her hair spread out and a golden cup of rosé wine next to her.
Card Drawn: Queen of Cups
Card Interpretations: Tender, sensitive, romantic, dreamy woman - fairy, medium
