March 11: Himring

Himring offers both luxury and adventure to the traveler. Relax in the hot springs at one of our famous spas or try cross-country skiing or rock-climbing, if you're feeling adventurous. History buffs can take in a tour of Maedhros's famous fortress, and the Evercold Sculpture Garden will wow the whole family with its collection of the most ice sculptures in the world.

"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most heroic sacrifices."
Thomas Merton

There are too many possibilities with this one. But I'll narrow it down :-) Still playing....

Hi Dawn, I hope it's ok to ask and it's rather off topic, but would it be ok to make a pendant based on the design in today's passport stamp? It's for a friend, it won't be sold.

[dawn_felagund]

Ohmygoodness, yes! Even if you wanted to sell it, I would not mind. Today's stamp design was one of mine and didn't use anything that wasn't open license, so do what you wish with my blessing! :) I'm glad you liked it; it was the first one I made and was done as an idea to show my comods what the stamps might look like, and they thought it would work fine as a stamp (not just a demo/sample), so we just hung onto it.

Already started, it'll be finished later today.

All OC's from Emma's and my-verse, but hope it will still be appreciated.

Right done this one as well.....hate work at the mo. Tkaing up too much time for me to be online much at all.

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

I have finished my Himring story now; so I would like that stamp, please. http://heartofoshun.livejournal.com/274038.html

Also, still waiting for Grey Havens. And there will be a few more.

[tarion-anarore.livejournal.com]

Hey Oshun,

Grey Havens (among others) is on my list, but I was out of town over the weekend so didn't get a chance to upload the updated passports! Expect to see an update tonight or tomorrow!

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

No rush! Just didn't want it to slip through the cracks, since I am passed the rush of stories here.

[tarion-anarore.livejournal.com]

Passport updated! (Actually was updated yesterday, but just getting on LJ now.)

[heartofoshun.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Going to hunt for the link to that page so I see how it looks. Woohoo!
