Severus Snape at work
a fanart of a fanart ;o)I don't like curtains, so most of our
numerous windows are decorated with some WindowColor
pictures to
prevent birds colliding with the panes. In most cases, I use celtic-ish
mandalas for this purpose. In addition, I wanted some light visual
cover for our study, as I'm in direct view from some windows of the
opposite building when sitting at my desk.
I started with some floral ornaments in stratecigal places, done in WiCo, thinking of them as some ingredients Snape would use in a potion. Soon after, I saw Shadowycat's lovely Snape fanarts of Snape at work and decided to give it a try using them as WiCo patterns. This is the result:

My desk is at the right of that window.
Usually, the blinds are halfway down so I have better contrast at my
monitor. The
bird-protecting WiCo in this case is a castle I dubbed Hogwarts, as the
study is the place where my Snape and Minerva fanarts are hanging as
well as certain film posters. My husband and me agreed keeping
anything visually "Harry Potter" strictly to the study ;o).
My WiCos are, sadly, much less detailed and refined than Shadowycat's artwork, as I didn't use any additional tools using WiCo at the time which enables to draw finer lines. Still, they do the trick and I can see Snape at work every time I look out of the window *lol*.
