Thanks for putting up that example, Esty!

I agree with Bêthberry that you should also put up some examples of your own work.

That is indeed quite a work of art. I've done quilting myself, and can just imagine the amount of work that went into that tribute! I doff my hat to her!

At the moment, I'm into creating charted needlepoint patterns which I sell through a local needlework shop, and last autumn, I designed my own little Tolkien tribute, which I titled "Stars in Shadows Shimmering." Given the limitations of the kind of design and the audience I'm selling to, it couldn't be very overtly Tolkien, but at least it turned out nicely:

Perhaps when I have a larger collection of designs completed, I can go nuts and come up with something overtly Tolkienish.

That was nice to see, Ibrîniðilpathânezel!

I'd be interested to see any more designs you come up with.
