knitting and such

I've been knitting a gift for my neice, and it got a theme.
She's a Harry Potter Fan. So it's a red and yellow Griffendor colours scarf.
I've also got a nother gift started for her, that sort of classifies as making an altered book, though to get the desired effect it's almost like making a whole new book to be honest.

Part of the fun I'm having is playing around with making props, and part of the fun is researching the setting and such. It is a wonderfully detailed and well thought out universe.

I keep thinking of the trip to see the movie props exhibit we all took, and how I could make almost all the props there with relative ease. But I also keep thinking that I could make something etter and depending on the item, being able to do things like imbed a real feather inside a growning peice of tree and later harvest it to make a wand. Why I would do it is beyond me, but I could.

Also on my mind about the setting is the question my neice faced, about what house would a person be selected for by the sorting hat. The easy answer for her was Griffindor. But Somehown I feel that I would definately be inclined toward Ravenclaw. Funnily enough while researching data I learned that the ravenclaw colours are bronze and blue. I'm quite fond of blue, and bronze is a wonderful metal, especially to a fellow who is also fond of steampunk.

Throw in the fact that one of my favorite supporting characters from the books was the cooky Luna Lovegood and I was reminded that she too was a ravenclaw, it seems a good match.

so what house would you be and why?

I really should get some sleep now.
Take care of yourselves,
