The Twins of Imladris Paper Dolls by Winterwitch

Title: The Twins of Imladris as Paper Dolls
Name: Winterwitch / [livejournal.com profile] the_winterwitch
Prompt: Use the following song to inspire your writing or artwork: “O Lusty May” by Ensemble Estampie
Description: Paper dolls of Elladan and Elrohir als children. Traditional drawing with felt marker, coloured pencils and pigment ink pens in gold and silver on paper and Origami paper, the dolls on very thin cardboard.
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Artist's Notes: These were originally intended to be illustrations to my B2MeM story for the same prompt, but in the story, the visit to the seamstress never happened after all. You might even ask how the paper dolls relate to the prompt: probably just by having been generally inspired by it and being drawn with the characters and story in mind, and perhaps the Nost-na-Lothion robes having been made for the twins for their first spring festival.


Click on the images for large views. If you have troubles with the display of these images, you can see them all also here.







This was an experiment with Origami paper, but the boys don't really approve. Too girlish for them.






(Sadly, the gold and silver pigment ink doesn't come out well in the scan of these and the following clothes.)






If you want to print the dolls out, please go here for printing sheets in colour and black & white (link to an image heavy page). The images presented in this entry are too small as well as proportioned slightly differently.

O.M.G! These are PRICELESS! And you made ones for us to color, too! Oh, Winterwitch, these are awesome! I love the ones you've colored, especially the Mettare robes! And the descriptions underneath of their uses AND the materials they're made from ... my head is spinning at the total *wow* factor of this shareable craft!

I'm gonna go print them out at work tomorrow and go directly to buy colored pencils after work so I can make my own set. They are sooooooo cute! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing these with us!
