Aurora Australis

Title: Rîn
Fandom: The Lord Of The Rings & The Hobbit
Rating: G
Content notes: 1 picture, edited in GIMP.
Artist notes: For the jewellery challenge at fan_flashworks. This was going to be elven jewellery in general, then got focussed solely on crowns. The title (according to Hiswelókë's sindarin dictionary) means "crowned". This was the final work for my 25 fandom spread badge! Yes I'm proud of this badge :D
Summary: Elven rulers of Middle Earth and their crowns.

After re-watching all three movies in three days (the first two on vhs - it made me feel old :P) I felt like re-reading the books. The picture is the cover of my copy - beautiful illustrated hardback. It's a lovely edition, but I have to admit it's a bit awkward for actually reading, since it weighs a ton! (Not quite as bad as my all-in-one Chronicles of Narnia hardback, though...That one is like an encyclopaedia tome).

So far, I've read the foreword, prologue (interesting couple of spoilers there about characters surviving, even though it was written by Tolkien - still not half as bad as others I've read, where they told you the whole story!), and the first three chapters. I'm enjoying it a lot, too.

After the cut, thoughts on the books, films, and differences between them - SPOILERS for both.
