The Tolkien Coming of Age Club 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yes! Exactly! The walls are green of course and I'm thinking of painting a cool tree on one.

Actually I was trying to think of a Tolkien quote to paint on the walls. Of course, above the entry it will have to say "Speak friend, and Enter". I've been thumbing through the books trying to think of something appropriate. Any thought would be appreciated.

Rae, the one quote that I love best when it comes to crafts is "We put the thought of all that we love into all that we make." (spoken by an Elf in "Farewell to Lórien")

Raefindel · 03-11-2010, 08:54 AM

Oh, I love that!

How have you been, Estelyn?

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-11-2010, 03:09 PM

I'm doing very well, Rae - thanks! The book Music in Middle-earth, to which I contributed a chapter as well as co-editing it and translating several of the essays, is now on the market. That leaves me with more time for other creative activities, mostly piano playing and quilt sewing - and for reading just for fun.

What will you be doing in your craft room?

Raefindel · 03-11-2010, 04:22 PM

I'm a stamper (I make greeting cards) as well as theater props and backdrops.

I have a big Bible-time backdrop to get done and nowhere to work till my new shop is done.

I remember being impressed with your greeting cards, Rae. I think I saw one or two here, some time back.

And I join you on the set brigade. Just worked on a huge truck yesterday doing the detail work, and am sore for it today. Nothing like that kind of work out for your peace of mind though! Does make you wanted to create a new environment for yourself by painting the walls at home. Have fun decorating your room!

Thank You, Hilde! I've got another week before I can start moving in and doing detail work.

I had no Idea you were a set designer, too. Cool!
