If you're looking for something whimsy, be sure to take a look at these handmade filigree elven ear cuffs made by Ruth Nore Designs. These ear cuffs are adorned with ornate filigree and sparkling faceted crystals. They are adjustable and can be bent and molded for the perfect fit.

Mirkwood Book Nook.

To display the Mithril-Miniatures figures of Elrond and Thranduil I built a book-nook.

Scratchbuilt trees and some elven architecture.

Built the box first, with planning for the interior. Then built and painted the two halves before closing them together.

You know what's a billion-dollar movie series waiting to be made? Earthsea.

Is there some copyright nonsense with it holding us back? Did the failure of that wrongheaded Ghibli version put people off?

It has everything #LOTR has, without the audience fatigue; it has everything #HarryPotter has, without the problems, including an escalating maturity and increasing darkness; it would succeed where #Narnia failed.

Why we aren't ploughing all our resources into this IP is beyond me.

The detail of the horse heads, the singularity of the pommel, the filigrees, the Nordic-inspired blade.... It's one of those designs that always haunts my mind, and, despite it being a challenge, I felt it was a natural next step in my leather carving and moulding skills. It's been six months of slow progress in my free time, but I couldn't be happier with the result

Collage of 6 pics of different stages of the hilts' shaping. The first shows the top layer of the guards tooled on the leather with the shape of the ring beside traced. The second shows both hilts assembled, 4 layers of leather glued together, the handles carved and sanded roughly, the pommels only traced with a pen on the block of layers, and the tooled layers of the guards missing. On the third, the tooled layer is glued to the rest, the pommel is roughly carved in the trapezoidal shape and there is a piece of leather with the final layer of the pommel tooled and still uncut; one of the hilts is facing down showing the back part where the strap will be attached and the stud is placed in the pommel. The three pics behind show the final aspect of the hilts unpainted: a general view of both hilts, one grabbed and one on the cutting mat, a very close up pic of one of the horses neck, the textures of the filigrees and the mane at the external border; and a pic of the corners of the pommels, an almost hidden part from most of viewpoints, with more filigrees carved with a pyrograph
Collage of 4 pics showing the moulding process of the blade/straps. First, both straps side by side, one undyed and only the fullers carved along the center, and one black with only the edges moulded downwards. Behind, both pics of the straps making an eight loop to show the maximum possible of the volumes, and both with the fullers and the edges completely done. And last, a very angled pic from the hilts, the belts resting on a bed, with the lightning heavily from the side upwards to show the volumes of the pieces when they will be assembled
Collage of 8 pics of the painting process. First, two pics, one of the hilts and one of the straps, only painted in white on the most prominent volumes. The second pair of pics shows a black layer on the nooks and crannies and most of the surface, but the most prominent volumes still white. The next pair shows the first layer of metallic painting, dark bronze and thin silver. And the last pair shows the final layer, a lightly darker and a brighter golden for the hilts, the handle already dyed, and a glowing silver for the blades
Last collage of finished work, both belts laying stretched on the lawn and pic taken from above. A close pics of the hilts and part of the blades, light difuminated from behind. A close pic of the tips of the blade/straps, the longest slightly darked than the shorter. And both belts placed around the waist of a mannequin but showing the back part with the brights and shadows highlighting the volumes of the edges and fullers

"The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth Èorlingas!"
As emblematic as Narsil or Sting, and just as tied to its bearer, is Herugrim, the sword of the king of Rohan Théoden. And, for me, one of the most beautiful works of forge and blacksmithing ever designed

Collage of 3 pics. The top one shows the two belts looking like one of the swords from The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, metallic golden rounded guard and pommel, and metallic silver moulded blade, edges at both sides, two fullers along the center and three small holes nearing the tip; they are resting on a wood bench, the light of the sun from above. The second pic is a close up of the belts, the straps (that are the blades) rolled up a metal bar by two loops and closed by the hilts (that are the buckles), the sunlight more indirect and the metallic. The third shows them both placed around the waist of a mannequin with a leather armour, the lightning coming from the side. The guard shows two horse heads facing each other with celtic-like filigrees carved inside, and the pommel has a tropezoidal shape, wider near the handle, with more filigrees at the front
Collage of 5 pics. Another general pic of the belts extended on a stone step, this time on the shadows with indirect light. A close up pic from the front of the hilts on the ground. At the center, the belts view from the side, rolled up on a metal bar, direct sun light hitting hard and striking similar metallic sparkles from both the real metal bar and the metallic painting on the belts. Frontal pic of the belts hanging on a wall made of stones, sun light filtering through the treetops. And the last one is a very closed up pic of the details on the guardas, the volumes of the filigrees and the ring beside it

‘You’re arrested for Gate-breaking, and Tearing up of Rules, and Assaulting Gate-keepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-buildings without Leave, and Bribing Guards with Food.’

'And what else?’ said Frodo.

‘That’ll do to go on with,’ said the Shirriff-leader.

‘I can add some more, if you’d like it,’ said Sam. ‘Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Shirriffs look a lot of Tom-fools.’

#ThrowbackThursday with this 2022 map of one of my oldest passions: my mother used to read Bilbo to us to put us to sleep, I read all Tolkien works and try to learn Sindarin during my teens, Jackson's trilogy is my favorite movie since I saw FOTR at the theater at 9 y.o, I try to read LOTR & Silmarillion regularly...

It took an eternity to tool and another eternity to lace. Hoping to do the Beleriand one one day !

So trying to figure out what I just saw, I guess the laserblaster is like the #LOTR ring thing, and Billy went straight into Smeagol/Gollum mode without wasting our time with hobbits and wizards or quests or any sense of a plot at all.

With a bit less time following cars driving around and the pool frolicking this could've been a half-hour movie.

It’s getting hard to put a smile on my face these days. Lots of negative nonsense all abound. But it’s pictures like these, that help remind me that there is still good in this world.

“How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.”

"They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone. And we only wish to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread... the sound of trees... the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious".

All shot using real lighting, smoke, figures & miniature sets. I digitally illustrated some hair onto Gollum as this figure doesn't have any.

Gollum holds the ring up into a beam of light.
