Lothlorien

Full View, pliease

This bag was inspired by the realm of Lothlórien from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the song of the same name from the musical of the same title.

I bought a plain black messenger bag from Joanne's, thin gold ribbon, gold markers, circle tassel ribbon (which you can't really see all that well... It outlines the flap), and two silver leaves.

I painted the two sides gold, outlined in the two ribbons, painted the tree, etc... The lyrics that are on the inside are:

Oh child of my heart,
Born of a never-ending dream
You are cradled in light
Bathed in an ever-flowing stream
Flourish and grow, my mystical world
Here you will ever belong
Son of my yearning
Daughter of hope
Beautiful child of my song
Although storms may descend
Mountain and valley may quake
All the days that remain, this is the promise I make
No shadow fall across this land
Before the wind and fire I stand
And you my child will know no harm
Enfolded in my arms
Lothlórien

I love it. ^.^ Hear the song (and watch the video from the musical) here: [link] (Legolas is hot and Galadriel is AMAZING)
