Without further ado, I offer up a brief tour of my son’s Quiet Book… of FIERCE MAJESTY! Just a couple of quick notes on putting it all together. I tried to take lessons I had learned from the quiet book I made for my niece and upgrade them here. For instance, I didn’t assume anything …
Quiet Book of Fierce Majesty
QBoFM: Rounding up some Fantastic Beasts!
I have to admit.. these may have been my favorite quiet book pages. These were completely my own idea and design and I absolutely adore how they came out! I got the idea to make it a two page spread, because I knew I couldn’t fit everything into just one. So I made the left …
QBoFM: Diving beneath the Black Lake
The Black Lake is a constant presence on the Hogwarts grounds, and becomes crucial to Harry’s completion of the TriWizard Tournament in the fourth book. We find out about several of the inhabitants over the course of the series, including the giant squid, grindylows, and of course, the merpeople. I decided to make a small …
QBoFM: Herbology class and Portkey travels

QBoFM: When in doubt…. Go to the Library!
When in doubt, you do like Hermione does, and you go to the Library! I’m pretty biased towards libraries, but then I think everyone else should be too. How many times did Hermione save the boys’ posteriors by finding exactly the piece of information they needed in a book? Many, Many times!! That’s how many! …
QBoFM: Uniform and Chess Pages
The Quiet Book of Fierce Majesty doth continue to grow slowly! After finishing the cover and the Gringott’s counting page I decided to go ahead and get one of the easiest pages done and out of the way. To promote manual dexterity, and all that, I decided to make a Chess board page harkening back …
The Quiet Book ….. of FIERCE MAJESTY!
I am starting to think that the “crafting bug” one hears talk of, where you get an idea and have the urge to create something, is more like a particularly virulent virus for me. I don’t know what it is but when an idea floats through the air of my psyche and happens to fall …
