I really enjoyed this video, so thought i'd share. It talks about the architecture of the hobbits, elves, and dwarves. 📺 "Why Lord of the Rings Architecture Isn’t Just Fantasy.. It’s a Warning" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GbHWY0roOY… #lotr #Tolkien #fantasy #architecture

(⚆ᗝ⚆) ahhshsfsf There is a wild grouse (which i very creatively named "Thumper") that likes to test my heart. It waits in the grasses until I nearly step on it, then flies off with loud wing flaps. If I ever die of a heart attack, Thumper is to blame.

Random silly story idea you can steal: A comedy b-movie style story where a zombie apocalypse hits a ren-faire full of reenactors, HEMA fighters, and costumed folk. To survive, they must go medieval/renaissance on the hoard. #writing #writer #WritingCommunity

I didnt love the belt-loop lacking sheath that came with my knife(right), so i tried to make a new one(left) despite never making one before. I didnt have a buckle, so i just used a magnet snap. I mostly use it for whittling, so the magnet should be fine for […] [Original post on wandering.shop]

My experiment of growing a Marigold in my Kratky-style hydroponic setup. I wanted it to keep away pests...but also because its nice to see such a happy flower while there's snow outside. I also have spinach and Swiss chard, and the very start of a strawberry plant. #Kratky #hydroponics #flowers

'Glaurmir The Ancient' is my favourite painting I've made this year. It's a pretty special piece so if you wanted a really dreamy and calm dragon painting for your wall, then you could splash out. I can offer layaway payments over 3 months for this! buff.ly/WHECtel #dragon #originalart #dragonart

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.
