The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Tolkien - The One Ring

by **Jiyadan** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 10:55 am

Zahrah scanned the large hall and nodded, pleased with the location. The men of Dale were very handy, and were able to reach much higher than the Dwarves to get the decorations up.

Long silk banners representing all the peoples of Middle-Earth and the grand households that would be attending the event hung between the oak columns and rustled whenever the doors were opened.

At the far end of the hall were several multi-tiered tables draped with fine cloth and linens, embroidered with dragons, gold and jewels. Soon, the table would be filled with the glittering awards, ready for all to see and for their winners to pick them up.

She straightened a slight wrinkle and brushed away a bit of fluff and got ready to arrange each award as they were presented.

The Crystal Thread award is beautiful...

Thank you for doing such a great job.

by **Jiyadan** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:40 pm

You're most welcome! :oops:

by **Frelga** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 10:12 pm

Wow, El, this is spectacular!

:rose:

If you have a larger resolution image, I'd love to make a print of it, for strictly personal use.

by **luthienelflover** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 11:35 pm

Yes, same here, if you have a larger resolution of Lifetime I'd love to put it on my wall!

by **Vanaladiel** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 11:54 pm

Sweet friend you have done a wonderful and beautiful job with the awards..

I too would love a larger copy so that I can print them out for myself. They are marvelous!!

Contact me sweetie, PLEASE!!!

by **Jiyadan** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 1:00 am

I'm afraid the largest image I have for you is already the one I've given. I suppose you can try to enlarge them.. I'll see what else I can do but I can't guarantee results. :oops:

by **rowanberry** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 2:24 am

Great work with the awards again, Jiyadan! :thumbsup:

Now, I'll just have to work both the personal award and the MoME awards into my sig...

by **prmiller** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 7:40 am

For Jiyadin

Look how the colors dance and weave!
One look and one must thus believe
that elves are still among us here,
to cause such wonders to appear.
You were so faithful to create
what I have now received...but late.
May offered trust, a broken thing,
be healed and once again find wing,
to bring you ever constant joy --
this is the hope I thus employ
by writing this, and thanking you
for this, and legions more you do.

Your ever-servant,
Parm

This is the first time I've been here for the complete WCA awards (I usually end up coming in halfway through!) and I must say that the awards themselves are beautiful and well done to everyone involved!

Now I only wish I had premiere membership so I could put the Eldar Award for Fallen but not Forgotten thread in my sig! (Not that I'm selfish or anything!

)

by **Spirit_of_the_Willow** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:48 am

The awards are beautiful as always Jiy.

by **orodreth111** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 11:28 am

Victory is mine!!!!!!! :twisted:

Oh, don't go to any trouble for the purpose, darling! I just thought maybe you started with a larger image.

Yah, Elengil, please don't go to the trouble of trying to enlarge it if you don't have one already -- it's fantastic the way it is.

Maybe I'll put it on a mug.

Yes, thank you to the organizers of this event, the participants and all the staff who put in the time to get everything counted and done. thank you to the presenters who took the time out of their day to report and announce the results. A great job by everyone!! I wish I could have been a bigger part of it this year but alas, I was tied up at work and the :cavetroll:

wouldn't let me go.

Elengil of course they are beautiful just as they are! :oops:

I didn't look at how big they actually were. They are perfect just as they are!! Thank you again for your beautiful work and talent.

Nice job everyone!!!! :clap:

Oh and lets not forget all those who voted!! Without you the rest wouldn't have mattered at all. We so appreciate you!!

by **MithLuin** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:16 pm

Beautiful work Elengil! Thanks so much!

Your award was announced HERE, if you'd like to read it. You may make an acceptance speech in the After-party thread, if you'd like....and it may be as long as you like

by **Tempest** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 3:05 pm

I am very VERY sad to say that I missed the entire event!!! I didn't even know it was going to be held on the 19th!!!! Well, thanks Erinhue for your kind words---I'm sorry that Tempest wasn't around to respond to them.

I'm not exactly sure if the Voice of Sauron award is something that I should be proud of. I'm a nice person in real life, really I am!!!

SPEEECH, SPEEECH! :yippie:

Vison, Tempest - it would be fabulous if you could both make acceptance speeches in the Afterparty thread.

And, in long standing TORC tradition, we have some light RP at work.

Please - stop by!

Elengil, my thanks to you for your wonderful artistic creations. Each award is unique and speaks of the qualities that have been celebrated. That is a tremendous ability! You are a very talented woman. May your many talents grow, flourish and support you!
