The Mines of Moria by Daniel Reeve

[ofbooksandofbeards]

I’m in the middle of rewatching The Hobbit appendices after many years so I can’t remember if they covered this, but rereading my Tolkien issue of Faerie Magazine and I love the collaboration to make every scene feel as authentic as possible by using team work:

“I had my own turn at writing The Red Book on camera during the Hobbit. We needed the writing to be mine, to match my already well-established Bilbo writing style, but my hands don’t look sufficiently like Ian Holm’s hands to be seen on screen. But for several reasons Ian Holm was only able to do a restricted amount for this film, so in the end “old Bilbo” is played by four people: Ian Holm for face shots, Martin Freeman (dressed as “old Bilbo”) for wide shots, Frank the hand double for shots of Bilbo’s hands(...)and me for the actual writing shots.” - Daniel Reeve, calligrapher for the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies

Daniel Reeve did some calligraphy for me during my Red Carpet Tour of New Zealand, and Sean Astin signed it at Megacon! ❤️

Elven inspired??

Well... we all have our own copyright-avoiding moments. If you read the fine print they’ll engrave your own design on these, too, so you can crack out the Tengwar.
