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.

The Balrog

The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm.

'You cannot pass,' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.

-― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

So scary!  Best creepy creature ever created!

I don't make many headdresses but when I do, I love them!

Foam horns!  Super comfy!  Read more about how this goes on here in my Etsy shop.

Question of the day (Wednesday):  What is the scariest part of The Lord of the Rings (book or movie)?

Me...when the goblins swarmed the party or the darn spider...the whole Shelob thing.  ACK!  And I love spiders!

Gollum...Smeeeeagol

Poor Gollum.  Hideous creature bound to the ring which gave unnatural long life.

You can't help but feel sorry for him.

I wanted to portray all the gross attributes of Gollum in top hat form...kinda hard.  Somehow this hat is just gross but super cool looking.  Is that your take on Gollum?  A grey worn pleather base with a worn linen sash.  Real dead moss with a blue eye peaking out.  Stringy strands of feathers representing his few stringy strands of hair.  And the teeth...the gross teeth.

Arwen

Arwen...the noble maiden.  She serves as inspiration and motivation for Aragorn...future king.

I was inspired by Arwen's dream dress from the movie.  Perfect shade of blue...light...airy...dreamy!  Draping is a new thing for me.  I think it is lovely!
