The staff of the Poison Pie Publishing House rendered several characters from books published in recent years by the PPPH as shrinky dinks. This page features translations of the final illustrations for the musical score, Hebeloma's Lament in a Dozen Denials, which was serially published on a daily basis in 2024 on the blog of the Poison Pie Publishing House. The original artwork was created by street artist, Ms. Julia K. Keffer of Phoenix, Arizona. Hebeloma's Lament in a Dozen Denials recounts the adventure of Europe, one of the maidens offered to the minotaur by King Minos, immediately after she escaped from the labyrinth.

The assembled mobile was photographed on the last Saturday morning in May shortly after the sun had risen over the Poison Pie Publishing House.

The twelve illustrations used as chapter headings are arranged into four sets of three at the lowest level of the mobile.

Native flowers of the island of Lesbos decorate the four plates in the middle level of the mobile.

A rendition of the "Dolphin Fresco" in the palace of King Minos forms the canopy of the mobile.
