Original Art | Foil Finally finished my Hobbit hole after fifteen months. “The Shire at Dawn”. I can’t believe it’s done.
I shared this piece once before as a work in progress, back when everything was cut but not yet ground. That part took… longer than I expected.
This is an original design built by me. I started plotting it June of 2024, and this weekend I finished the framing and installed it. It is so much more complex than anything I’ve made before!
I’d been planning to begin work on a Rivendell window next, but I’m going to be a father for the first time in a few months, and they say glass shards, lead, and babies don’t mix particularly well. So the glass will rest for a bit. With luck, my child will grow up to love Tolkien as much as I do, and maybe one day, this piece can become an heirloom.
The road goes ever on…
