Today's art project went smoothly. Had this copy of Thror's Map from the Hobbit first edition facsimile. If you held it up to the light, the moon letters show up. Got a shadow box, put an LED with an external switch behind the map, drilled hole in the back of the frame so the power cable can run out, and now it sits pretty. Had to do some tweaking to make the LED not too bright, but turned out the simplest fix was a folded sheet of paper behind the map to diffuse things. #throrsmap #Tolkien #maps #thehobbit #thereandbackagain (at Simpsonville, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfoDeJuvTj/?utm_medium=tumblr

#MiddleEarthMarch day 7 : favourite Middle Earth food or drink. Here’s a recipe based on Beorn’s food in The Hobbit I made a few weeks ago. Goat cheese, honey, toasted bread and rosemary. So yummy. 🐐 🍯 🍞 #tolkientribe #tolkien #jrrtolkien #thehobbit #tolkienaddict #tolkienfan #tolkienlover #tolkienreader #book #bookworm #read #reading #readingtime #thorin #thorinoakenshield #gandalf #bilbo #pipe #hobbitpipe #food #beorn #goatcheese #bread #yummy #foodporn #hobbitfood #throrsmap #map #lonelymountain

Goofing off during morning break at work. Copied from#ThrorsMap #DwarfRunes #MoonRunes #TheHobbit #JRRTolkien #translating #MiddleEarth the #MiddleEarthMarch has me wanting to mess with all kinds of things lol. #fantasy #language #runes #script my book 📚 version appears to be a reprint of the third edition with corrections and changes to bring it inline with the #LordOfTheRings history. That's pretty fascinating, if for no other reason than I guarantee you none of the fans back in the day gave Tolkien lip for "changing cannon" (at San Antonio, Texas)
