...and back again.

So, here is the finished Bag End doors, now more then one, the scene of Bag End and the party tree that I made for a friend for valentines day because it makes me forever sad to read the posts she writes every year about bad things happening to her on the 14th.

Not this year, baby! Below is a screen shot of her reaction. ^_^ I think it also might have been my own best valentines day because of this. Nothing is better then getting to surprise a good friend and being rewarded with their utter happiness at the gift, 😸

That silver and black piece that is mixed in with the Bag End things is the ring that Thorin Oakenshield has in the movie. I need to fix the back up and then clean coat that and it'll be done.

I want to make things that represent Bifur and Bofur, but aside from Bofur's hat I'm not sure what to do. Ideas?

More clay bits

Here are some of the things I'm making for acen this may. The knives are for that. The other circle bits are the door to bag end. I'm going to see if any one shows any interest to them on etsy.

There are some secret things mixed in in the photo where all the knives are silvered, so I can't say what they are just yet. I need to have at least 2 of the things in these photos done by Monday. X.x they need to be mailed Tuesday!! I will not have them be late, damn it!

Dis

So I tried my hand at drawing a female dwarf from middle earth...the beard gets me stone walled.

Her name is Dis, and Dis is the only female dwarf ever named in all of the things Tolkien ever wrote. She is the sister of Thorin Oakenshield, and the mother of Fili and Kili.

I'm not sure why they say at the end of the book that the line of Durin was ended, because Dis is also from that line and she goes and remarries Andy has more children and shouldn't that mean that the line of Durin endured?

Of knives and doors

So, I've made the door to Bag End and a disk with a knife on it. I'm planning on putting bag end up on etsy, even made a mold of it. But it's a pain to get out with out messing up the door knob. =/

The knife-y one is for Acen this year. I'm making one for each of the people I'm meeting up with and 2 extra for people who can't go. The knife is for the Knife Wielding Fangirls, KWF, that a friend pulled me into some 10 years ago now. I'm the mid-Atlantic branch apparently. O.o;;

I hope my Acen friends will like the knives they get and I hope the door is well received in etsy, and by we'll received I mean I hope someone looks at it. =/ I really don't put popular things up on that site.
