Hullo everyone, and thanks to dreamflower02 for starting this community! What a great idea. :)

My name is Kel, and I've made several LotR costumes, which can be seen at the following links:

Merry's party outfit from FOTR

Merry's Fellowship outfit

Merry's Rohan armour

My Merry-inspired hobbit lass costume, which doesn't have its own page yet, but can be seen in the photo here.

Why, yes, I DO like Merry! :)

I've also made several LOTR teddy bears, including Frodo Bear and Merry Bear!

My current LOTR craft project is knitting up a pair of hobbit socks to use while in costume. They are coming along slowly, but surely!

Thanks! You know I couldn't stay away from this community! :)

I was thinking that some of my non-LJ friends have some great LOTR crafts -- I'm going to ask them if they would let me take photos and post them here to share. My friend Cordelia (who is my Eowyn and sometimes my Pippin) made an incredible LOTR cross-stitch and my friend Cathleen (who is also my Pippin) is working on Tree of Gondor tatted lace!

Ooh, I'd love to see their things! It's so amazing the stuff people can come up with!
