The Geekerye is a lovely little shop on Etsy that specializes in jewelry representing a variety of fandoms. The shop owner, Rose Brown, customizes these pendants with just about anything you could want. How about your name in Gallifreyan? She can do that. How about something from Supernatural or Sherlock or The Hobbit? She can do that too. Take a look at her shop, and be sure to head over to the KC Geek Corps Facebook Page to enter the free giveaway!

Thanks to Pinterest, I recently stumbled across the most incredibly detailed miniature Bag End from Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. Maddie Chambers-Brindley made it for some college coursework on “the importance of play.” She drew upon her experience making Warhammer miniature scenery and models to create the Bag End model.
Check out the level of detail – the top of the “hill” comes off to reveal the interior, and inside there’s a fire in the fireplace, a miniature area rug, hand-tiled floors, portraits of Belladonna Took and Bungo Baggins, the Baggins family tree, and a wee vegetable garden outside.
In this post Maddie talks about her creative process.
Have you ever worked with miniatures? What fantastical world would you like to take on to recreate in mini-form?

In celebration of ‘The Hobbit – An Unexpected Journey’ coming out on Blu-Ray and DVD, I decided to make an Etsy treasury filled with hobbit inspired crafts! Click on the picture to visit the treasury!
(Okay, I know the last item is *technically* a quote from the Lord of the Rings, not the Hobbit, but it is Bilbo, and is one of my favourite Tolkien quotes ever…)
