“The people of the world are like the three
butterflies in front of a candle’s flame. The first one went closer and
said: I know about love. The second one touched the flame lightly with
his wings and said: I know how love’s fire can burn. The third one thew
himself into the heart of the flame and was consumed. He alone knows
what true love is.” -Rumi

Okay a Tolkien original this time. I just love Idril and there’s going to be another Gondolin book sometime in the summer. Also I plan on stitching the Numenorean nightmare sigil someday which has a version of Idril’s sigil in the centre. I have also begun a map of Gondolin and I really want to do one of Beleriand as well.

An olive tree at the Acropolis.

This tree is supposedly a descendant of the original olive tree that occupied the same space by the Erechtheum in antiquity and was believed to be the original olive tree created by Athena during her contest with Poseidon to determine which god would rule Athens.

J.R.R Tolkien, looking at flowers.

Apparently people hated to go for walks with him because he would stop and look at every tree for like 20 minutes.

Tolkien was able to draw.

When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. The Hobbit as first printed had ten black-and-white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for color plates, which comprise some of his best work. His illustrations for The Hobbit add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world.

I have found The Art of The Hobbit book here in Amazon. Some of these images are published here for the first time, others for the first time in color, allowing Tolkien’s Hobbit pictures to be seen completely and more vividly than ever before.
