Everything I’ve made

     ~The Fellowship of the Ring~

Ring poem

The road goes ever on and on

Home is behind

Snow-white! Snow-white! O lady clear

Ho! ho! ho! To the bottle I go

Bath song

Farewell we call to hearth and hall!

O! wanderers in the shadowed land

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!

Hey! Come merry dol! Derry dol! My darling!

Hop along, my little friends

Hey! Come derry dol! Hop along, my hearties!

Now let the song begin

O slender as a willow-wand

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow

I had an errand there

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!

Cold be hand and heart and bone

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow 2

Get out, you old wight

Wake now, my merry lads

Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?

Tom’s country ends here

There is an inn...

All that is gold does not glitter

Gil-Galad was an Elven-king

Song of Beren and Luthien

Troll sat alone on his seat of stone

Eärendil was a mariner

A Elbereth Gilthoniel

Seek for the sword that was broken

All that is gold does not glitter 2

I sit beside the fire and think

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!

Mourn not overmuch...

Snowmane’s grave

Out of doubt...

song of the Mounds of Mundburg (gold shine)

When the black breath blows

Silver flow the streams

Long live the Halflings

To the Sea

Sing now

Awake!

Still round the corner

A! Elbereth Gilthoniel

Roads go ever ever on

My first ever piece of calligraphy, with one of my favourite songs by Tolkien. I can't wait to see what it will become under the pen of the authors of @fall-for-tolkien's Scribbles and Drabbles.

Daily practice #1 - a verse from Tirion Ninquisseo

Tirion Ninquisseo by Luinyelle

There are errors! But that’s why practice makes perfect 😂! To be fair, I wrote this before the first cup of coffee today 😅.

I am reading the Silmarillion again. Well, listening to it, at least. And man, I had forgotten so many details. A lot happens in this book! It doesn't help that the are so many characters and the names all start blending together in my head after a bit. I figure if I can walk away from this book with a rough idea of who half the cast are, I'm doing pretty good. I need a family tree for this lot.

Guys. Guys. I made it to the story of Túrin Turambar.

This man is a walking disaster. Mostly because he is cursed to be. But still. Walking disaster. Y'all, I didn't know that any of Tolkien's tales were incestuous. That was a discovery, let me tell you. It's very folkloric (which, yes, is the point).

This whole book is drama. There's love and war, with politics and petty jealously and great doom and deadly fates and magic from the dawn of time. But for all of that, I somehow never expected incest in a Tolkien story? Now I know.

(This is not a condemnation of fictitious characters written fifty years ago, just my surprise at discovering it.)

Poor Túrin. He was doomed by the narrative. And Morgoth, but mostly the narrative.

The first page of The Hobbit in the style of a 16th century medieval illuminated manuscript.

This started as a comfort drawing while I rewatched all the Hobbit films and ended up being a full on artwork that took a long time...

[bookshopcrow]

The response to this illuminated manuscript Hobbit piece has been amazing and I was also asked if I sell prints - I do!

This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

The hobbits gazed at Strider. It seemed that he was learned in old lore, as well as in the ways of the wild. ‘Who was Gil-galad?’ asked Merry; but Strider did not answer, and seemed to be lost in thought. Suddenly a low voice murmured:

PPS. Make sure that it is the real Strider. There are many strange men on the roads. His true name is Aragorn.

They begged him to come at least as far as the inn and drink once more with them; but he laughed and refused, saying:

There he stood, with his hat in his hand and the wind in his hair, and looked down upon the three hobbits, that had been laid on their backs upon the grass at the west side of the mound. Raising his right hand he said in a clear and commanding voice:

Tom stooped, removed his hat, and came into the dark chamber, singing:

There was a sudden deep silence, in which Frodo could hear his heart beating. After a long slow moment he heard plain, but far away, as if it was coming down through the ground or through thick walls, an answering voice singing:

Managed to acquire the bad Swedish translation of the Lord of the Rings, so now I'm kind of tempted to calligraph some of the stupid translations of the poems 😋
