This is amazing! I love the paper folding idea, it's such a clever thing- and all the detailing on that brickwork- PHEW.
There is something really charming about how neatly and precisely it is drawn. It's almost like a blueprint?
And the marauder decorations on the top. So lovely!
Happy New Year!

Oh, oh, oh! Just to clarify (I forgot to include the underlying image credit): this is actually an architectural drawing I found, scanned, and replicated for the card. I just added the color and decorations. (Unlike you, I'm no artist. :) Thanks for looking and commenting, and happy new year, D! M.

Oh, oh! What rot! This is plenty artistic. The merit is all in the concept and the colouring in skills <3
I hope your year has been treating you excellently so far, too!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thanks, D. (Sorry for the belated reply! School knocked me off my feet.)
Hope 2016 is off to a good start! M.

How BEAUTIFUL! There's so much striking detail in this--all the brickwork and the lit-up windows, those gorgeous Christmas decorations--that your eye catches on all its neat angles and Christmas cheer as it unfolds, it's almost like a cascade. I love how you put the MWPP decorations at the top; the warmth and brightness this sparks is almost a tangible thing. Happiest new year, this is the most charming bit of sweetness! ♥

Thank you! Just to clarify (I forgot to add the credit line to this post): I'm playing around with an existing architectural drawing I found that seemed well-suited to Grimmauld Place. Fun to imagine what that house would be like in different circumstances, isn't it? Happy new year, C! M.

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

Wow, M. You totally outdid yourself. This is just stunning. I love it. The concept is just brilliant and then the decorations are adorable. I just love that Lily got her say in there, too! Really impressed!!!!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

I just love that Lily got her say in there, too! I was almost done when I imagined Lily showing up to survey the house and having some Strong Opinions about being the only one not represented. Thanks, Min! M.

Aw this is so sweet! Loving the fold-out action, and the drawing is great! (This would probably work equally brilliantly with a Hallowe'en theme - Marauders era then perhaps, and genuinely sinister and foreboding...) lovely job, and well deserved brighty!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I like the Halloween idea! Of all the magical spaces in the books, this is the one I've enjoyed writing about the most--it's got such a strong personality. Thanks for looking and commenting, L! M.

Oh this is wonderful! I love the detail, the windows in particular stand out to me. You can tell they've made this their home, finally, it's bright and warm and theirs. It's such a great idea, making their biggest secret, their animal forms, be hidden behind the fold. What a truly clever idea. This is just brilliant.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! Just to clarify (because I forgot to include the credit line in this version of the post): I'm working with scan of an existing early 20th century architectural drawing that seemed to fit the occasion. I love the idea of Grimmauld Place as a place that Sirius comes to own and love, eventually, once he's made it his. Thanks for commenting, M! M.

Whoa!That's a nice one!Harry Xmas!Haha!!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thanks, A! M.

What a total delight! It is just what the place looks like, too (I've been to Orlando and saw it there). And the decoration is absolutely wonderful.

The way you made the house show up between the others, gradually, is so fantastic.

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Aha! I've always wondered what they decided to do in Orlando! I'm happy to know that. (i had a lot of fun trying to figure out what terraced housing within walking distance of Kings Cross looked like, exactly; there's enormous variation across the years.)

Thanks for taking a look, TRS! Much appreciated. M.

[semielliptical]

So clever!! I want to print this out so I can fold it and see it in 3-D. I love the MWPP and Lily decorations on the house. :)

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thanks, S! It was just as fun decorating as it was finding the drawings in the first place! M.

[patricia-writes.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I want to be a part of that no-one-died universe!

[magnetic-pole.livejournal.com]

Thanks, T! So do I! M.
