Der Ring des Nibelungen

I've loved the Ring Cycle since I was 14. That was why I first explored Tolkien as I knew his work was based on the same myths.

When I was 15 or 16 we were allowed to create a project of our own choosing in school needlework class and I chose to create this. I'm not good at sewing or embroidery so am surprised I ever managed the project! I'd no idea where it was and was pleased to find it again today after having a clear-out.

My stories "Shadow and Thought", "Web of Treason" and "A Time to Reap" are heavily influenced by Wagner's operas too. He was an unpleasant man but his characters have a Shakespearian depth and the music describes emotions like no other.

The black suns represent the curse on the ring.

Oh, I love it, my friend. It's amazing :) you might not feel "pro" but I definitely could not do that *lol* ^-^ What a wonderful treat/reward for doing all that clearing work :)

The black suns are a cool touch.

*hugs*
