#laurelin

I'm slowly working my way through the Silmarillion after being thoroughly exposed to it second-hand.

It's been very good for getting me back into drawing practice. Also I wish I was half as good at writing as Tolkien.

Telperion & Laurelin: The Two Trees of Valinor

Maeglin: I emerged already this morning. And I am already regretting it.

Glorfindel: There will be dancing.

Maeglin: I have already partaken.

Glorfindel: Twenty years ago.

Maeglin: And I do not believe I am due for another twenty years.

Glorfindel (pushing Maeglin into the brilliant midsummer sun): behold, the last fruit of Laurelin!

Maeglin:

Glorfindel: did you just…. Hiss in agony?

Cloak update

I went off of the Silmaril design I saw on the Tolkien gateway, but I used cashmere in gold and silver so that it would seem to glow. I thought I could put a third one on the hood when I got to it? I need to do a banner at the bottom of the tree connecting the Silmarils, then at the top pick a design to cover the meaty part of the shoulder, then do a triangle to connect the top and bottom so it makes a semi-circle. So if anyone has any Noldor/Feanor forward designs for suggestion, love to hear them. It’s a Silmarillion cloak but we all know how big that book would be without the original problem child.
