Description
Isildur, son of Elendil and the second king to the fair Kingdom of Gondor. Also the one who saved a seedling of the White Tree at great personal sacrifice, and subsequently planted it in the Court of the Fountain in Minas Tirith, royal City of Gondor. For some reason, this book reminded me of this character in the Lord of the Rings ...Essentially a Mixed Media piece created for inspiration avenue's weekly challenge "Imagine/Imagination", this piece combines some of my favorite materials ... polymer clay, faux fur, leather, black paper, wire-work in elven forms and faceted glass beads.
The pages of the book are handtorn and stitched together using the coptic stitch technique. It measures approximately 5 x 5 inches with a height of 2.5 inches (including the polymer clay window). It comes in a basic handmade box.

Did Isilidur really save the White Tree? I have never read the stories...I'd love to hear a small part of it if you have time to tell it.
