And the Winners Are... ;)
Feb. 14th, 2019 07:55 pm In modern Hobbiton, there are very few surviving depictions of its most legendary citizens, Frodo Baggins, Esq. and his esteemed gardener Sam Gamgee. This perfectly preserved watercolor miniature is therefore a rarity. It was discovered in a volume buried deep in the musty library at Michel Delving and depicts them receiving the Grand Prize for Horticulture, the Silver Shovel, at the 1417 county fair for their perfect primroses. This hardy flower, known by the locals as Baggins Beauty, can still be seen blooming in the shady lanes of Hobbiton today.

"Tater Tales" :)
Jan. 22nd, 2019 08:37 amSam and his Gaffer are the salt of the earth, and they're harvesting spring taters! These golden nuggets were left in the ground the previous fall, and due to a warm winter they've grown huge! Now Frodo has come to join in the fun as Sam and his dad recite more esoteric tater lore than he could ever remember!

NOTE: I'm currently having an issue with my cousin's server. Almost all of my images are down on both blogs. The ones that are running have been saved to Dreamwidth's low-capacity image hosting service and won't be high-resolution, I'm afraid.
Hope Anton can get this sorted quickly :P

"The Fire Tree"
Jan. 5th, 2019 08:19 pmFrom the 'ending' of my fic-in-progress (if I ever get there!) ^^;
This scene looks strange and maybe frightening, but there's precedent and it has a good ending!

"Summer Nap"
May. 16th, 2018 04:15 pmI'm not sure if I ever posted this other than on my journal homepage; apologies if I already have. This is an older 3Delight render which is an illustration from my ongoing fic. In this story Frodo re-writes LOTR in the Undying Lands, adding several episodes that it wasn't politic to include in the version which he left behind in Middle-Earth, and every day he reads some of it to Sam after they have their lunch time nap. There are some silly little flower-dragons who live nearby who are more intelligent than they look, and right now they're not-so-patiently waiting for the hobbits to wake up so they can hear more of their wonderful story. :)
Favorite detail: Frodo's look of utter contentment and bliss!
