Fingolfin Pin... Fingolpin... Pingolfin... and plans for the year!
Added 2019-03-14 06:51:08 +0000 UTCSilly me, posted without the text. Here goes. :)
So yes, I did the Fingolpin last night... and lay awake far too long with plans for the OTHER pins. XD
My idea is this: The Maedhros pin will remain exclusive! But gosh, I want more pins. So naturally, I'll also do a Team Fëanor pin and a Team Finarfin pin (aka Finarpin). Or if you have other ideas that fit in with this line of thought, let me know!
I'll wait how the Maedhros pins turn out, and then I'll be back with open edition pins of the three Finwëans so we can all properly show our allegiance. XD
I had a fun conversation last night with my daughter as I was designing this.
Jana: Wow, that embroidery looks cool. But now Maedhros only has a simple cloak. That's not fair.
Me: I think it is. Fingolfin seems the type to deck himself out with every sort of splendour.
Jana: And Maedhros doesn't?
Me: I imagine he's the sort who'll just grab anything that's handy in the morning.

Another big bit of news is that I've been in touch with Jonathan, an old friend of mine, who already did the layout on the "Cannae" booklet four years ago. He agreed to layout my new artbook this summer, which will then go to kickstarter later this year!
Welcome to new Patrons, Emily and Lyra!

This is amazing!! Also, I would actually cry if you ever considered doing Maglor because he's my favorite (I actually did a cosplay of him which was heavily inspired by your design)

2019-03-15 02:16:12 +0000 UTCSo excited for the kickstarter and more pins! I've just bought two 'ita-bags' so I can actually display my pins and not worry about either losing them or getting them dirty and having a growing Tolkien collection will be great!

2019-03-14 21:16:16 +0000 UTCIf I pin Fingolpin next to Russandolpin and later Curufinwepin, will they make my bag go up in a flaming battle ...?

2019-03-14 20:01:48 +0000 UTCOh wow, this pin is so gorgeous and your daughter is pure gold. <3 <3 ... I'm also excited about your new artbook! Could you just please make sure that people (like me :D) who don't own a credit card can also join in the process of financing the book? Kickstarter unfortunately doesn't offer paypal or similar options, so I was never able to join projects on Kickstarter.

2019-03-14 16:51:04 +0000 UTCSurely there's a need for a Team “Pingolodh” for the reflective types who cannot have with those brash young loards and their acting before thinking ... :-)
