Front gate for Tiny Bag End

This is not terribly exciting, but since it's been so quiet here lately, and I have been working on my hobbit dollhouse this week, I figured some pic spam would not go amiss.  ;)


Here's the front entrance of Tiny Bag End.  The stone fence and lamp post were already there, but the wooden gate is new.  All bunnies provided by the lovely and talented [profile] moosefluff.


Yes, that's a real working sliding bolt I managed to find.  Ain't it cute?  It won't keep any orcs out of the garden, but I couldn't resist.  ;)  For those interested in scale, the gate is about 2 inches tall.  Bilbo is 4.5 inches or so.  I thought about trying to make the sign myself, but I have no talent for calligraphy.  So I found a screencap online of the sign in the movie, printed it out really small, and traced the lettering with a very fine marker.  Ehh... try to ignore the crookedness of the sign.  One day I will overcome my laziness and fix that.



And lastly, the inside of the gate!  Anticlimactic, I know, but what can I do?  :P



And that's it.  Have a good and crafty day.  :)
