The main idea behind the place setting, was focusing on the fact that Rowling had clinical depression and contemplated suicide. The Fork, Knife and spoon are broken, to represent her life, breaking and falling to pieces.
The tablets represent her contemplating suicide
J.K Rowling doesn't use a computer or typewriter, her books are written by hand, and the scroll is used to show that. I tried to do it in the style of Harry Potter, the parchment and old style writing.
The broken desert spoon serves the same purpose as the knife and fork.....
Tea Cup....Reading of the tea leaves from the Harry Potter books, I used this idea to show Rowling's faith being broken and difficult, which is why the saucer is broken to pieces.
The 31st of July, this is the date of birth of Harry Potter, J.K Rowling and her great father, Louis Volant was also born on this day
My favorite piece of the place setting!! The plate, I embroided the star constellations onto black material.
Rowling names many of her characters after stars or constellations. Sirius, Luna, Andromeda, Bellatrix..and many others.
AND THE FINISHED PLACE SETTING
