What inspiration do you get from Tolkien?

[Folwren]

I am another writer. I wrote before reading Tolkien, but it was after Tolkien that I began to create my own worlds.

I also draw a lot of hobbits. I have drawn several randitions of the Grey Havens and have completed one painting of it. Not to mention so many other things it inspired me to draw and attempt to paint. . .

It inspired me to sew. I've made a number of cloaks and even sold a few! Without that experience in cloaks, I wouldn't be making dresses and skirts now. Someday, the inspiration directly from LotR will come back and I'll make my little brother (or maybe myself) an entire hobbit costume, vest and all.

It inspired me to read faster than my little sister so I would have first right to the books that we were both reading at the same time. That was only temporary, though. She speed reads.

And that's all for now.
