In Celtic mythology, snowdrops are associated with the goddess Brigid. She was the goddess of spring, fertility, healing and smithcraft. Perhaps due to this connection to the goddess, it is unlucky to pick and bring snowdrops into the house on Saint Brigid's day, more commonly known as Imbolc.

‘Forging new history’: high-end iron age smithy unearthed in Oxfordshire

Archaeologists have been wowed by the early dates and the evidence, including the size of the tuyere

Radiocarbon tests date it between 770BC and 515BC, during the earliest days of ironworking in Britain. From about 800BC, the art of forging iron became widespread in the British Isles for tools and weapons and the iron age takes its name from the mastery of this metal. “The range of evidence is remarkable. We’ve got almost every component of the blacksmith’s workshop … The only thing we haven’t found is the tools. It’s an incredible thrill to uncover something like this. It basically allows us to peer back in time and see what could have been one of Britain’s earliest master blacksmiths at work.”

Lotr & The Hobbit-themed Jewelry?

So I’ve been wanting to become a Blacksmith for awhile now, and I’m hoping to apprentice someone soon to fulfill that dream. This Spring, I’m supposed (fingers crossed) to take Community College Classes on Smithing and Metalwork, so in light of that, I have a proposition for you all. 

We’re all giant nerds here, and a big reason why I want to become a Blacksmith is to make stuff that mimics that style of Jewelry and Design you see the Dwarves wear in The Hobbit Movies. 

I think this stuff looks really cool. This is the kind of Jewelry I want to make, with designs based on The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, like Dwarven or Rohirrim-style Jewelry. I’m not sure if this would even be possible, or at least it may have to be delayed because of Covid19, but here’s my idea.

Once (or If) I become a good enough Blacksmith, would anybody be interested in an Online Store that sells Tolkien-inspired Jewelry, alongside other items?

I’ve always wanted to make an online store, and I’m hoping that most of my stuff will be handmade, so I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in that. Once I start making products that I think are good enough to be sold, I should be able to sell them online. Not saying there’s be very many, but I think it might be doable. If you’re interested, please let me know, I’m really excited about the prospect of selling my work, both writing and craftsmanship. Thank you all so much, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
