Notes from the poet, guiding the imagery — use these as your reference.
Man in his 50s. Graying tousled hair. Shorter beard. Small indoor cap. Grey and green robes. Never purple. Kind, bookish, slightly weathered.
Cozy, lived-in. Open casement window year-round. Old oak chest below. Dusty shelves with books (gold-rimmed pages). Hearth is the heart of the room.
Golf-ball or ping-pong ball sized. Pearly and iridescent when fresh. Dim and marble-patterned when exposed to heat. Stored in a velvet sack.
4 total. Colour arc: yellow → fiery orange → vivid red like living embers. Small feet, flicking tongues. Their touch chars objects. Drawn to fire instinctively.
Only lightweight windblown objects in the foreground. Key favourites: the comb, sparrow skull, partly-wrecked umbrella, or the Wizard's hand holding the silver bell.
Small stone cottage on a windy hilltop. Consistent architecture across all scenes — rooms, doors, and windows should not contradict each other.
