Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Huoommm ... Arthadan, as for them trees Master Rita.de is perfect with his arts in water-colour.
Those trees added to the diorama you can find everywhere in your garden (the ones with the lichen you mean?) ... I prefer those 'hibiscus' to provide me with such pieces ... though it takes some time until lichen and spore decide to produce ... rhuoommm ... not less than about 5 years ... anyway ... it's worth it (by now I have a nice collection of lichen and moss)
The easiest way is to take a walk in a forest and find things ... that's all there is about ... huoom

Yes, Master Arthadan, Master Theobald is completely right in what he mentioned. The source for those trees is: REAL NATURE.
There is nothing better as real natural material!
I prefer taking a turn in the woods with my wife on sunday afternoons- usually during the cold-times, as today. Puuh, it was cold outside! Time for a hot chocolate . . .
These lichens you will find near creeks and ponds. You don´t have to wait 5 years, they already exist . . .
But believe me, also in this case the Tree is right!
Well, as far as Mr. Daines concernes: I am already there, in the fan painting-section of the homepage of the company we trust in-since 8 years-!
But not under this curious name- unfortunately.
You have to know my real name . . .It´s not that difficult!
Thank you very much, gentlemen, as mentioned: time for the hot chocolate . . .

... and drying the liches ... huoommm ... thanks for your compliments, Master Rita.de ... a turn in the woods is something good ... there's so much that can be found there ... and of course you won't have to wait 5 years for that ... ... I just was talking about the lichens in my garden ...
they're about 35 years by now and still do provide a good quality ...
rhuoomm ... hot cocoa with a top of whipped cream, slightly covered with grated dark chocolate ... huoomm ... then a wee dram of that Islay-liquid put into it ... hom ... yes, that's what I will do now ... good idea, Master Rita.de ....

What incredible work.

I adore your dioramas.

They ooze atmosphere and they all have a little story. Wonderful.

Thanks for your answer! I'll do some research next time I have the chance to go for a walk in a forest. How do you dry the lichens?

Dear friend, few minutes ago I bought 3 trolls on mithril.ie... they have 20% discount on all The Hobbit influenced figures... so as your pictures really affected me, I decided to try to paint trolls just like you did... You have give me inspiration for special kind of art work... I will try to make a copy of your work.... Master !

Thanks..... master elf... I hope soon I will able to present you my painting work... with Bert, Tom and William..... made of stone.... with something of my own soul inside.... ....

and your CD will go to Gremany tomorrow

I will... for sure !

Im so much exited about this project !!!!!!!!!! As I have seen picture before.... new Moria will be spectacular diorama.... ouuuhhhh ! an finally this Cave Troll of the Under-deeps are superb.... in expecting of new pictures..........

Oh yes, Master Estel, me too. Especially for that reason that I found a solution of what we have discussed last year.
You remember the "bases-problem" of the orcs? Last year- oh my goodness. Time flies quickly . . .
Well, that chain idea pleases me a lot, because this scene (being part of the whole one) is a very important one (of the whole one)
Kind of an eye-catcher in a special part of the diorama . . .
This was the concept:



So, you saw the finished Troll, the orc is also painted, just put them together . . . That will take time, as everybody will assume . . .

mmh, I don´t want to bother you neither with whitchkings and standart-beares nor orcish people . . . not at all . . .
BUT: I am painting these orcish people in the meanwhile to reach the finish-point of my Moria-diorama- after thirty years or so.
AND: I fell in love with this one: what a marvellous orc! There is soo many details to discover when painting this guy . . .
