#Doors of Durin

Stow-on-the-Wold is the last stop of the tour. This village is a big part of why I booked this tour over other ones since it is home to the doorway that inspired the entrance to the Mines of Moria in the lord of the rings! (The speak friend and enter doors.)

This village is also home to several antique shops and is the location of England’s oldest pub.

I get a bakewell tart for the trip back and despite the sugar spend the wet drive back napping. All the early mornings are starting to catch up with me.

The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter. I, Narvi, made them. Celebrimbor of Hollin drew these signs.

After months of patient work and many despaired un-stitching and re-stitching frenzies, I finally finished my embroidery of the Doors of Durin. They’re more cousins, second cousins once removed even, than truly a copy of the original but I’m so damn proud and happy with the result!

For the #Drawlloween prompt ‘It Lives in the Mountain’ - I finished it yesterday with moments to spare, and then realized I left the ground blank. Oh well. The point of doing this art challenge is to not get too precious with my work.

There are few things I love more than mash-ups and puns

People give Legolas a lot of shit for not saying anything when Frodo asks what the elvish word for friend is in the movies, but you know what? FRODO SPEAKS ELVISH. Both Sindarin and Quenya, and he can read them too, and the “elvish word for friend” is written right there in the door in front of him, so even if he forgot it or wasn’t sure which form to use HE COULD JUST READ IT.

So my dad made me this for Christmas, completely from scratch, and with a Thorin Oakenshield inspired axe made out of wood that detaches. I LOVE IT so much I wanted to share it. The hooks are for holding all my loungefly bags, lol. Thought I’d hang the best one first. My dads amazing.
