#Tolkientober day 16: cozy

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

Green hills covered with yellow and pink flowers under a pale blue sky with wispy white clouds. In the nearest hill is a round green door and a small window

#Tolkientober Day 15: Precious
Celebrian appears on the scene. "It was one of Galadriel’s greatest sources of awe and pride, that she had managed to raise a daughter who was gentle."

#Tolkientober day 15: precious

“[…] and maybe were the gold made hot again, the writing would be refreshed. But for my part I will risk no hurt to this thing: of all the works of Sauron the only fair. It is precious to me, though I buy it with great pain.”

Busy day? Tiring week?

Not to worry! Feel free to wind down with Bilbo as he enjoys his (comically large) cup of tea. He’s even got his glasses on for reading a good book!

#tolkientober #tolkienTrewsday Day 14: Colours 

After the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of Dol Guldur, the wood elves celebrate as colours begin to return to the once dark forest of Mirkwood, now renamed Eryn Lasgalen (Wood of Green Leaves)

7”x7”, gouache on 100% cotton coldpress

A small gouache painting in teals, greens, and yellows. A tangle of moss-covered tree branches in the foreground are darker, and in the background lighter. Bright new leaves sprout from all the foreground trees, and small round lanterns that glow with a soft yellow light are hung from various branches

Je plains ceux qui ne lisent pas l'anglais : ils ratent ce message passionnante associant l'art textile indonésien avec le personnage de Sam ..
Merci @putriprihatini.bsky.social 🙏

I always associate batik tambal, a batik motif from Yogyakarta, central region of Java, with Samwise Gamgee. The classic earthy colors and the patchwork motif represent down-to-earth wisdom, protection, and healing power under the humble face. 1/4

#TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

A painting of a comfortable and warm Hobbit burrow, with a fireplace lit. Sam, a hobbit wearing green vest, white shirt, and knee-length black pants, sitting on a green seat holding his baby daughter Elanor, gazing lovingly at her. Rosie, his wife, a beautiful Hobbit with curly, braided hair, standing next to his seat and looking at him affectionately.

A fabric with tambal motif. Each grid is filled with dots, leaves, and curved line patterns. The main colors are ivory, light brown, and blue.

Very honored that my book, The Art of Mercy in Middle-earth, received a favorable review from Nancy Martsch in the respected Beyond Bree Newsletter. I especially appreciated her praise of my hobbits and lighting, as well as my more painterly than graphic approach. Very thankful! #Tolkienbooks

#TolkienTrewsday "Colours" and Roger Garland flexes his polychromatic muscles in Bridge of Khazad-dûm (c. 1983). Here the reds, browns, purples and blues denote the evils of Moria, while the green glow signals freedom. Poor old Gandalf the Grey (+ blue and red) is going nowhere but down 😔 #Tolkien

Happy #Tolkientober to our wonderful community! With two weeks left before our big event, we wanted to give you two important updates: the platform of the livestream and the start time. We look forward to seeing you there for some fun including announcing raffle winners! 1/2
#TolkienfansForPalestine

It is a poster of Samwise Gamgee holding a Palestinian flag. The top right corner of the poster reads Tolkien Creatives (in black color) For (red color) Palestine (green color). In the top middle corner are the words "A Tolkien Palestine Solidarity Fundraiser. Below that (and above Sam’s head) are the words taken from The Rings of Power score "The Sun Yet Shines". Also in the colors of the Palestinian flag. Underneath Samwise Gamgee are the words “Join Tolkien Trivia Stream On YouTube!” in the colors of the Palestinian flag. And below that are two hearts that are also in the colors of the Palestinian flag. The first heart states “Date: 25th Oct 25. The second heart states “Time: 1:00pm EST / 6:00pm BST”

In the grand tradition of Hobbits, on my birthday, I give a gift to you: Almost 600 words for #Tolkientober Day 12: Brotherhood.
A bit of TRoP s3 speculation featuring the "sibling rivalry" between the Greenwood Elves and their kin to the West.
