Together, we have had a lot of fun making everything from our own handwritten Elvish book to dolls to Kili's rune stone (on real Labradorite, of course!). We even kept scrapbooks for the whole year between the release of The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Over the years, we've been able to talk to other fans, e-mail with them and search online for inspiring images and/or tutorials of other really cool project ideas that other creative fans have come up with at different times. But none of the great fan sites for LotR and the Hobbit have any feature that highlights the amazing fan art that has arisen from the followers of the books and films. So, we have decided to start this blog to fill that hole.
We'd like to highlight any ideas and projects that we find that seem neat to us. When you're trying to come up with creative ways to combine various skills with the theme of Middle Earth, it can prove so fabulous to see what others have thought of and created --- which is what this blog is all about! If you know of a really cool project, pattern or tutorial that's available out there, don't hesitate to contact us. We just post anything that seems helpful or appealing to us as we are able to find it, so help us out if you don't see something here that you feel should be here.
We are also planning on reviewing and discussing all kinds of collectibles and books that have been released for fans of the film trilogies. Sometimes it can be really hard to find out which piece is a better option, or just how many different character pictures were released in that set of Hobbit character dog tags! Hopefully, these reviews will prove helpful to others, like us, who are always adding to their collection.
Thanks . . . and have fun creating your own piece of the incomparable Shire.
Sarah & Elizabeth
