My new Card

I thought the same because of the word "omni". Hmmmm. If the word is really "omni". Hmmm.  

[kbmum]

Many of the words in the map swatch repeat themselves.  I used the University of Notre Dame online Latin Dictionary, and roughly translated, the words mean:

The Marauders are daring in every way. OR -- The Marauders are always daring. (Having thought about it for days, I think the second one is the better translation.)

Audere: to be daring
Audentia: boldness, courage
Omni: Omni is the stem for a number of words, all with a meaning of all, every, entirely, wholly, and in general.

You got a great swatch, Tower!

Since everyone is sharing, here are my two wanted posters.  I think the first one is part of Sirius' hair and the second comes from the black box on the right side (Gimli has/had the star from the left side).

I am so glad to see everyone sharing their really nice cards.  I am in love with the Map card, and Olly, what part of the unfogging book is that swatch from?  Very nice!!!

THat really is the best Marauders that I have seen Tower. Well done - and thanks for the translation Cindy, even with the big scan I was finding it hard to separate words

Right I am off to the opticians

My Marauders is cool - not in a lettering way but somehow it makes your eyes go funny and SWEAR the swatch is 3D (I'll bring it along to the next forum "event" like a memo or whatever so that people can back me up on this). I'll get Mark to scan it in (our collection is back in Cambridge and I have moved South for Christmas now) though the "cutting edge coolness"* of the swatch may not scan well

(sorry RNS Sara I know I've owed you a scan of that for a while - only Mark has a scanner  )

* For those of you who don't know I giggled a LOT to myself as it actualy said on the LOTR Trilogy Chrome sell sheet that the set had "the cutting edge coolness of Chrome" ... who are they trying to kid? Yep it's quite a snazzy idea but who the heck came up with the (quite frankly embarassing phrase) "cutting edge coolness"?

ROFL!

Thanks for remembering me Roz!!  Looking forward to seeing that scan, but take your time and enjoy the holidays first.

Hi,
     I would like to see some more unique costume cards, rns was really fab. This is the best I have Hermiones pink sweater with a seam with stitching holes with clean material in the seam and dirt on the material around it.



                                                      merry regards,dave

[rns91294]

erevine, I agree, I would also like to see more variant costumes.  It seems there are lots with the props, but not many costumes.  This is really neat with the hermione sweater, as you can really see the difference of the clean and dirty parts.  I know my variant is of the Hufflepuff patch, but I would love to see some with a Variant of Harry's swatch too.

Thanks for the compliment too!!

[Tower]

Thank you for the translation, kbmum. Now i like my map some more than before, thanks.

And your Wanted Posters are also really great. I love this topic with all the variant cards.

[rns91294]

Although I still want to see more costumes in here, does anyone have a nice fizzing wizzbies variant?

[Tower]

I hope, i will have in the very near future. I wait daily for my mail from the USA. Maybe it comes today, i wish it.
EDIT. Please look at the next picture, now i got it.

I'd like to show off a pic of my prophet card, but cos Im on an old Mac it wont let me, so Ill just have to put a link in till I get home...

I like the little squiggles on this card, but I have no idea where they are from. As far as I can tell, there is some text on the back of the swatch...

It should work with the direct link:

EDIT: The link doesn´t work now, so i removed it.

[blackcat20]

It should work with the direct link

Thanks for that. On the Mac that Im using you cannot right click, and there is no option to view the html of the pic, so I couldnt link it, but normally at home I would be able to....not a fan of Macs, but my uni seems to run on them  

[Tower]

Ah, interesting, i didn´t know that. But we got it together.
Nice card, i am waiting for mine, it will come with the same mail as the Fizzing-card.

[Tower]

I got my mail today. Here is my new Fizzing Whizzbees. A special thanks to Ztaylork, without him i couldn´t have got this nice card.

[Tower]

So, finally i made a picture of 6 cards from my now complete Update-Prop card set (o.k., not really complete, i have no whomping willow). Have a look, i am very satisfied with this collection.

[kbmum]

Now THAT is a beautiful set of cards!  You are very lucky, very broke, or both!

[Tower]

Yes, i am very happy. And the prices have been very good for the cards, "only" up to £50 for the first four. I had much good luck, i think.
Merry Christmas to all of you !

[rns91294]

It is Christmas Eve Day and my card arrived!!  What a great gift for myself !!!  The picture doesn't do it any justice. It is amazing how the patch looks! I don't think I have ever been so happy about getting a card.

The Fizzing Wizzbees card is really neat.  So colorful!!! Great find Tower!!  Also, your gold divination prop (if you bought it on eBay) was one I was watching.  I didn't know it was you bidding at the time, but I thought about bidding on it up until the very last second.  It is so neat, and I am very happy for you .  I am sure a divination prop will come along for me after the holidays
