I am a bibliophile. I have four books going right now, it takes me a while, but I get them done. My favorite books are LOTR, anything Jane Austen, Harry Potter, children's books. My card is all about The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings (books being the theme for Teapotters). I don't have any square dies and I wanted as much of the book page to show; I came across this recycled cardboard, probably packaging from something at Target, I cut it down to a square and used the rectangle for the window. I have the names of all of the Fellowship (Gollum wasn't part of the Fellowship but his name is just to the right of the square) around the edge and I definitely needed to represent Tolkien's love of trees and nature and his despair that that was all going away. Gold charm to represent the ring of power. And my props are from my collection of all things Tolkien: Lego set Gandalf and my pottery statue of Bilbo, the one who stole the ring from Gollum, smoking his pipeweed. I wonder what that pipeweed really was. I even had a hamster named Goldberry. Tolkien's works are truly awesome and still very timely. And I prefer fantasy, since real life is tooooo scary. I love the sketch by the way.
