The passageway leading to Nearly Headless Nick's
party had been lined with candles, too, though the effect was far from
cheerful: These were long, thin, jet-black tapers, all burning bright blue,
casting a dim, ghostly light even over their own living faces. […] They turned a corner and saw Nearly Headless
Nick standing at a doorway hung with black velvet drapes. "My dear
friends," he said mournfully. "Welcome, welcome . . . so pleased you
could come. . . ." He swept off his plumed hat and bowed them inside.

Rowling
Description: I chose grey and white as main colours, and I incorporated the black candles and black velvet drapes in the form of black silk fabric strips. I decided against adding blue for the candle light, as the grey and white seemed more ghostly to me. The white parts are shiny wild silk, and I added matte white beads with a silver core.
Fibre Types: merino wool, wild silk
Colours: different shades of grey, white, black
Add-Ins: sewing thread, silk fabric torn into strips
