Art Post! H/D for Christmas . . . .

I am a huge fan of Alphonse Mucha and this wonderfully lovely work was the September image in my 2006 calendar. As soon as I saw it, I knew I just had to do an H/D version. :D So . . .

^.^ Art nouveau is definitely my weakness too. I adore the lines of it.

Thank you so much!!

I'm stunned. The details! God! The patterns, the poinsettia, the mistletoe, all wonderfully arranged and perfectly balanced. Not to mention the little mistletoe on Draco's hair. It is LOVE.

Yeah the composition is very Mucha, but the coloring is so very you ♥. Thank you so much for such a fantastic holiday treat to all of us H/D shippers.

*grin* I do like to use these colors. :D

I am so delighted to find this here when I woke up. I expected you to post it this evening. I feel like I've just received the most beautiful Christmas card. The colouring and design of this is just so special. Christmas and house colours all in one. The detail in the background is incredible and I love the choice of plants and how the Slytherin white berries are in Harry's picture and the red Gryffindor ones in Draco's half.

The robes are divine (I wich I'd thought of something like this way back when I needed dress robes for a certain ball scene). The edging around the sleeves and collars and the buttons on the sleeves really finish them off.

And the boys *sigh* they are just perfect. The little smirk on Draco's face and the way he is looking at the viewer out of the corner of his eye as if to say "See, I told you I could get him", while Harry is focused on Draco. Their hands ... I love their hands!

You are such a talented person.

*hugs tightly*

Yay! I'm glad you got to see it first thing - I was hoping so. *grin* And I haven't even been to bed yet on my side of the world. ;-)

And haha! I think Harry has every intention of using that mistletoe he's holding. I love their hands too, but I can't take credit for them, since that was one of the things I kept exactly like the original art. :)

Thank you so much, Fran dear! I really loved making this piece. ^.^

Oh, beautiful. I was so excited last night, when I saw your teaser post and now this. ^_^ Yay! Thank you for sharing. It's brilliant.

^.^ Thank you, sweetie!

Oh, Naadi!!! The buttons are so lovely!!! And Draco has even a pretty chain to keep his robe closed, ah!! Lovely green jewelry, too! And the cording in both of their robes, JUST the right finishing touch there!

The Christmas plants, and their colouring is perfect, Draco has green and a teeny tiny bit of red to make the connection to Harry, and Harry has mostly red, and a bit of green for Draco's sake :D What a beautiful shade of red you've found, too!

LOL! Draco DOES look smug there :D Harry looks a bit shy making him even more adorable :D

(I must get you here one day! We have such lovely Art Nouveau places you wouldn't believe!!! See! I'm ready for extortion, too :D)

*grin* All my trips to the fabric store to buy trimmings over the years paid off when I was trying to imagine these dress robes. :D

Those are my favorite shades of red and green - tending toward blue. ;-) And Harry might be a bit shy, but I do think he has definite plans on using that mistletoe. lol

Heee - I would LOVE to come there and see all the things you've taken such gorgeous pictures of. I've been amazed at how beautiful the architecture designs are. ^.^
