Gondor Shirt

This is a great idea for a LJ community, Dreamflower! I have a few photos I can share. Here's the first one. I first stitched the design on this shirt to wear it to "The Gathering of the Fellowship" convention in Toronto back in December 2003. No Gondorian tree patterns existed at the time, so I just blew up a photo of Pippin in uniform on my computer screen, taped a piece of cross-stitch graph paper to the screen and made a rough trace of the tree design. I fine-tuned it as I stitched. The stitching was done with a grey and silver blended thread.
