LOTR Community Challenges

The theme for this month's challenge was "Miniature", and each artist was asked to create something tiny. Any media was allowed.

We had five entries this month!

Miscellaneous Small Things by Oshun
Smaug by Dreamflower
Sunset in Hollin by Dreamflower
ETA: Clocks and Daisies by LindaHoyland
Green Dragon by Erulisse

Artists, thank you so much for taking part in the "Miniature" challenge! And remember, we always take late entries!

We hope that everyone will go and see the work of our talented artists! And be sure to tell them how you like their work!

Artist: Dreamflower
Title: Smaug
Rating: G
Theme: Miniature
Element: something tiny
Media: Polymer clay, embossing powder
Artist's Notes: "Smaug" is created from black Sculpey™ with red for eyes and tongue, and brushed with metallic embossing powders in two shades of gold, and in copper. He measures 1½" by 2½". My apologies for the size of the last two pictures, but I could not get them to post from LJ scrapbook and had to use Photobucket.

The July Art Challenge theme is "Miniature". Any media is welcome!

This month we challenge you to create something tiny, or to make something tiny the focus of your entry. The subject of your art should reflect Tolkien's stories or his world, but other than that the choice is yours. You may use any media you choose, so long as it can make something tiny; for example, you could make icons, Artist Trading Cards, or other small items. So long as it is smaller than a full-sized version would be, it will count as "miniature".

All art must be rated G or PG. See our ratings guidelines here! After the challenge, art will be archived at Many Paths to Tread.

Upload pictures of your project to your favorite photo-sharing site (Photo-bucket, Flickr, LJ scrapbook, etc.), and then post the picture to the community by Tuesday, July 17.

Include the following header:

<b>Artist:</b> <b>Title:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Inspiration</b> <b>Media:</b> <b>Artist's Notes:</b> <lj-cut>

Please put the following in the subject line: Art: Title of piece by your name (e.g. Art: Portrait of an Elf by MarySue). This is VERY important, in case there are also stories in the moderator's queue, so that we mods don't get the entries confused. Tag your entry "art: miniature" and " '12 july art".

We hope we'll have lots of artists participate!
