I (mod of TEW) have added your art to the queue to be reblogged and included in the round-up posts on the appropriate days! I also have your AO3 posting of the same works in line to be revealed. Thanks so much for participating! I thought each of these simply gorgeous, and the concept of the Day 6 one gave me shivers.

Thank you sweetly for your kind words, as well as for sharing the information about the queue and round up posts! As a worrier, it made me exhale in relief that I didn't mess up anywhere! :]

It was a pleasure participating in the event, I loved all the prompts and the sheer creativity they've inspired! 💖

I encourage everyone to check out @tolkienekphrasisweek 2025 here on tumblr, as well as the Collection on AO3 🌸

Yenimírë (Q. year-jewel) Steel, silver, garnet, velvet, flax, graphite Unknown attribution ca. FA 90 Rivendell archive, anonymous donor (TA 3020) Among the circles of Noldor for whom ear-piercing was acceptable as adornment, the first set of earlobe piercings was most often performed by a parent or a close family member when the individual came of age (variable, but frequently at one yén, hence the term yenimírë). This partially intact set of earrings, otherwise in excellent condition, demonstrates few indications of House or family affiliation, a somewhat unusual finding in the early First Age period. The accompanying sketches, estimated to be from the same time period as the jewelry, nonetheless appear to suggest a relation of caretaking and affection.

"I did not see the first steps you've taken nor held your hand hands as you tried to follow the music's rhythm for the first time, but as your feet mimic the movement of mine, eager to learn the pattern of this dance, it feels as though I was there for every important milestone of your life."
