By Rubellita Brandybuck We are proud to say, that we have received five designs for a new rug for the Green Dragon! The competition is now closed, no other entries will be accepted. No 1. The Variegated Vivacity of Green Dragon Fridays I have captured here the complex vim and vitality of Green Dragon Fridays...we have the battling yellow and orange clans represented in the stars, the musical conflicts of bagpipes versus all other instruments, with Pipes on the side of the pipes and an uncompromising Miss Lina representing all other instruments, the ever present mugs of ale and desire for pie, and finally, a stern but benevolent green dragon overlooking us all. Just don't make the tiny red glow in the Dragon or Miss Lina's eyes get any bigger, if you know what is good for you! No 2. Spring Bouquet The flowers of the shire are the inspiration for this colorful and playful creation. The lush, deep pile of this rug was achieved by using the strong, thick yarns spun from the lovely sheep's roving of Northcotton Farm. This design is inspired by Celt art and it is weaved in green threads on a pale gold background. In the centre a dark green dragon symbolize ancient wisdom and knowledge. The Celtic borders form a never-ending circle of life and nature. No 4. Glass hearts and stars This is inspired by stained glass art. Having recently spent time
in the glassblower's camp near Dwaling; I wanted to honor the artisans
there and raise awareness of their plight. The fine craft of
glassblowing in the Bullroarer's Sward is in danger of disappearing
forever because of unrest in the region. No 5. The green Piper In this design we can see a lonely hobbit piper garbed in green and gold, standing proudly in the Greenfields , playing a beautiful hobbit tune on his bagpipe. Embroidered on his sleeve a green dragon. The colours in this design are warm and cheerful , favourite by hobbits. |
