Helloooo, fellow crafties!

I am enjoying the pictures of other LOTR crafts very much!  Lovely idea for a community, [personal profile] dreamflower.  :-D  I don't have anything new to contribute at the moment, but as per your hinting, I will gladly link Tiny Bag End here. 

About two years ago I started a dollhouse version of Bag End.  It's not meant to be an exact replica (financial and practicality considerations restricted me to an eight-room and no interior hallway design), but if you use your imagination, it's fairly hobbity nonetheless.  ;)  The project is ongoing (hopefully forever--what will I do to amuse myself when it's done?!), but the interior is more or less finished.   I work mainly on the exterior now, experimenting with ways to make tiny plants for Bilbo's garden.  I know some of you have already seen all this, but here are links to the two posts I made awhile ago that contain the best overview:

Go here for the backstory...

... and here for the more-or-less finished interior.

It's too wonderful for words, it truly is. I'm sure The Professor would be pleased. Thank you for sharing it.

I am absolutely speechless. Or I would be speechless if I hadn't that idea...

I have a site for Tolkien fanfiction, translated into german, here (http://www.cuthalionsbogen.de/home.html). It has also a section for fanart (http://www.cuthalionsbogen.de/fankunst.html), and after having seen your amazing labor of love (and having shown it to my hubby), I thought about adding an extra page with a kind of floorplan of the Bag End-rooms you created, enabling folks to click on the room they want to see (with full credit to the artist who created this splendid mini-smial, of course). My hubby would create the page and I would add it some time around summer break when I have the time to do it thoroughly. What do you think?
