Mirach, I absolutely adore this piece! Where to even begin?
First of all, the concept itself is beautiful and moving: to incorporate J.R.R. and Edith as Beren and Luthien, as indeed they saw themselves. And at the ends of their lives, much as Beren and Luthien grew old together. I've never connected much with the story of B&L, and this piece helps to make that senescence they experienced, alone on their island, more human to me.
The design itself is simply lovely. I love the knotwork border and the crests in the corner. The black-and-white conveys a sense of melancholy ... and yet their is joy and hope in the piece.
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this. :)
