Description It is believed that the day when the White Tree shall flourish once again, will be the time of the return of the King.

The White Tree of Gondor is the last survival of the Nimloth tree that grew in the island of Tol Eressea. It was a gift by the Valar to the Men of Numenor. The tree’s fate closely mirrors the fate of men. The fall of Numenor saw the burning of the Nimloth tree … but all was not lost because Isildur managed to smuggle a seed back to Middle Earth, where he planted in the courtyard of the White City.

This is a mixed media handbound journal. Inspired by the story of the White Tree of Gondor, the centerpiece is an assemblage of several pieces of mixed metal filigrees, washers and clock gears. On top of this mixed metal pedestal, sits a rustic piece of veined milky white Picasso Jasper, symbolizing the single surviving seed of the White Tree rescued by Isildur. Surrounding the seed pedestal, fully hand-sculpted using epoxy clay, are tendril-like roots forming a protective wall round the seedling. These roots lay dormant but not dead, awaiting patiently for the return of the King, to once again spring to life.

The page marker is made up of a brass chain and ends with a piece of sea-sediment bead and brass findings. The artwork is then aged and distressed. The covers are finished with several coats of varnish.

ALSO How exactly did you use denim with this? The cover looks like its a piece of wood or something, is it actually denim? Or is it lined with it or something?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

LuthienThye In reply to SirFerrick [2013-04-25 13:50:15 +0000 UTC]

the covers are mdf. the denim is in the inside of the leather spine. I have added the denim because this batch of leather that i had was a little too soft and couldn't actually support the metal assemblage on the cover. so a little reinforcement was needed.
for harder leathers, i wouldn't add the denim.

Ahhh cool, that does make sense yeah. Denim isn't the most attractive medium, although i've never tried painting it before so who knows how it'd take the paint..

Hallo there.

These books are absolutely stunning. Do you know if the paper takes Paint or Inks well? Also, where did you learn how to make them?

LuthienThye In reply to SirFerrick [2013-04-25 13:46:24 +0000 UTC]

hi Ferrick
thank you for your kind words! these papers are for writing, not really for art. i would use a different paper if the journal was commissioned for artwork. 160gsm artist paper.

SirFerrick In reply to LuthienThye [2013-04-25 21:45:07 +0000 UTC]

thought so... Unfortunetly all of the paper that i've been finding is either unsuitable for painting, or doesn't fold well, and is too thick for bookbinding.. But all good. These look fantastic and thats what matters most with these.

Thank you very very much I always feel that the creativity doesn't end when the piece is completed. And that I should present it to my best efforts so that it's honored in some sense
