Marauder's Map

3/30/2017

One of our favorite projects to date!  A client in our Crozet shop brought in a magical Marauder's Map!
Picture
For those unfamiliar with the Marauder's Map, you must see the Harry Potter series for a full reveal.  From www.harrypotter.wikia.com: ​"The Marauder's Map is a magical document that reveals all of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not only does it show every classroom, every hallway, and every corner of the castle, but it also shows every inch of the grounds, as well as all the secret passages that are hidden within its walls and the location of every person in the grounds, portrayed by a dot. It is also capable of accurately identifying each person, and is not fooled by animagi, Polyjuice Potions, or invisibility cloaks; even the Hogwarts ghosts are not exempt from this."

Picture
This beautiful rendition of the Marauder's Map has layers and layers that unfold and expose different levels of the Hogwarts School.  Our client wanted to be able to interact with her map, so a unique framing solution was needed.
Picture
Here, you can see the many layers.  In addition to the outer folds of the map, the very center reveals a smaller folding map that cascades perpendicular to the map's major folds.  If you look very closely, you can see a clear thread that pulls across to keep the smaller map in place.  This thread is stretchy and allows for the viewer to pull it away and unfold the inner map for viewing.
Picture
Along the edges of the map, we installed brass turning hardware.  This hardware can be turned away, allowing for the map to fold or unfold to a new layer, then turned back to hold the new map view in place.
Picture
This map is an exquisite piece of architecture.  Bookmakers, illustrators, and paper enthusiasts will all agree.  We show off its worn, yet magical air, with a dark linen mat and an understated wooden frame.  Don't you love it?!  We do!

Harry Potter plays a big role in my life because it taught me how to be brave. There will always be people who will do everything to destroy you. When you encounter these people in your life, take the high road. Do not resort into doing something that you know is against your will because that would mean that you have stooped down their level. Remember that you are way better than who they want you to be. Do not let them change who you are.

The Marauder's Map is a magical map that can be used to find the location of any other person on Arcanum. The map is also useful for finding things, although it is not very accurate in this regard. The Marauder's Map was created by a mage named Thalia in the early days of the city's construction. She used it to find her way around, but many others have since taken up its use.

Feeling fasting dizzy is often related to dehydration or low energy levels during fasting hours. It’s important to drink enough water and avoid skipping nutrients during meals. Sometimes adding electrolytes or eating balanced meals can reduce dizziness. Gradually increasing fasting hours can help the body adapt better. If the problem happens frequently, reducing fasting duration may help.
