Frodo..the end

At the end of the journey and at the end of the tale, Frodo boards the ship to Grey Havens.
As Frodo explains to Sam...they set out to save the Shire and they did...but not for him.

In the "back" of Frodo's mind the Shire will always be.  So naturally, I put the Shire in the back of the hat and his waist coat in the front.  A tuft of green silk under the Shire represents his green cloak.

And then Sam cries, and then I cry.  Gandalf says, "I will not say, do not weep, for all tears are not an evil."

Sigh...the end.

This concludes our The Lord of the Rings hats.  Winner announced tomorrow!

Question of the day (it is different from this  morning's question):

New Question of the day for the last 2 hats!:
What are the scenes from the movie or moments from the book that made you cry?

Me?  When Aragorn bows to the Hobbits...sniff...I'm tearing up now!  And, pretty much whenever Sam cried.  I love him (no Sam hat but he is my favorite character).

This hat is not in my shop.

Aragorn

"I give hope to men. I keep none for myself."

Golly!  He's the guy!

I chose to make Aragorn's hat in his "cleanest" form.  He was always so filthy, but somehow not in a bad way.

New Question of the day for the last 2 hats!:
What are the scenes from the movie or moments from the book that made you cry?

Me?  When Aragorn bows to the Hobbits...sniff...I'm tearing up now!  And, pretty much whenever Sam cried.  I love him (no Sam hat but he is my favorite character).

Eowyn

Eowyn...our heroin.

Victor and slayer of  the nasty Witch King of Angmar, Lord of the Nazgul...and his icky Nazgul.
She is the poster girl for bravery.  Afraid and scared but does it anyway...to save her uncle and the people that she loves.  


Question of the day (Friday...last day!):
What is one (or more) of your favorite lines form the movies.  A line that you actually repeat in your everyday speech.  Not necessarily a line...maybe a word like "elvensies" or "taters". 

This is in my top favorite hats of all time.  I love the drapping and the whole look.  I think it looks just like her!  I used a low profile medium base (because of her shorter petite stature) and wrapped it in regal emerald green (the bottom is a vintage crushed velvet...probably from Middle Earth, I'm sure) drapped it in "chainmail"  attaching it with shield like metal medallions.  A sword and royal looking "scepter" pierce the front of the hat.  For the sash...a leather belt.

Gandalf the White and Shadow Fax

When Gandalf whistles and Shadow Fax comes running across the field, my heart raced...how beautiful!  He had a small roll to play but so memorable.

"Run Shadow Fax. Show us the meaning of haste."  Gosh, I think that's one of the best lines in the whole series!

I use it often.

I used off white and all white items for Gandalf's hat.  Off white linen and trim with a white celtic braided "belt"  Fluffy feathers I have flow with the slightest of breeze from behind Shadow Fax.  This horse can move!

Shelob

Shelob...giant scary spider that will eat you.  Not cool...well...maybe a little cool!

Question of the day (Thursday):
If you could visit any place within Middle Earth, where would it be?

Rivendell for me!  

Black faux skin (of some sort) for the base with several shiny organza purrs surround the hat (mimicking the inside of the mountain cave...but prettier).  A shining light of  the light of Eärendil’s star...well a little light bulb that you can turn on and off!  You may need it when all other lights go out.

Treebeard

"Hrum, now, well, I am an Ent or that's what they call me.  Yes, Ent is the word.  The Ent, Iam, you might say, in your manner of speaking.  Fangorn is my name according to some.  treebeard others make it.  Treebeard will do."

I love him...

This hat is not for sale as it is extremely heavy and the moss flakes off...a lot!

It is going in my Hat Cabinet!

Uruk-hai

The worst of the worst of the Orc breed...

These guys are pretty darn scary.  I'm not someone who digs scary stuff...usually.  Somehow my psyche made an exception here as I totally love the Orcs.  I cannot fathom why.

The base on this hat is a pleathor of some sort of creatures grey skin...um...perfect!  I had my daughter paint her hand and grab the hat...oh my!  Zombie teeth from my Halloween stash made their perfect debut as gnashing Uruk hai teeth...nasty!  The feathers...well, I love those feathers and they can either be beautiful or menacing or in this case, both. They move with the slightest breeze threatening to mesmerize you or poke you in the eye...cool!

See it here in my Etsy shop!

Galdriel

Galadriel...the Lady of the Wood (among other things)

The most inspirational line in the whole movie!

In fact...new question for the last part of Wednesday!
What do you think is the most inspiration line or inspirational part of all of the movies or book?

I do think, "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future" is indeed "it" for me.  I say it often.

My inspiration is clear in my Lady hat.  Glitter encrusted lace overlay on satin in pure white with silver threads.  A drape of white chiffon with a mini train in the back...just a little one.  A mini garden on the side half surrounds the hat and a light (yes and actual light) to illuminate dark places.  It had to light up...she glows.

 Click here to see the hat in my Etsy shop.
