Admin Post: March 2018 Challenge: Middle-earth Museum

[dawn_felagund]

In the Germanic tradition he admired, Tolkien gave us many named objects in his stories: knives, helmets, lamps, jewelry, and--of course--swords. However, much more ordinary, nameless objects also existed, and imagining what these looked like, how they were used, and how they differed among cultures is something many fanworks creators delight in doing. This month's challenge asks you to stroll the halls of an imaginary Middle-earth Museum and choose one (or more!) objects to inspire the creation of a fanwork.

Lists of the objects can be found below. You can select the object you want to use. More than one participant can select the same object, and you can select multiple objects if you want. You can use the name, the linked image, or both, and you can use the object in any way you want to inspire your fanwork.

Fanworks for this challenge will be due on April 10, 2018 in order to receive a stamp. As always, we recognize the March and April are busy months for Tolkien-themed challenges, and we encourage you to combine our challenge with Back to Middle-earth Month, Feanorian Week, and Legendarium Ladies April.

Feel free to comment with the objects you will be using, if you want to (this is not required).

If you're new to our challenges, find the SWG challenge guidelines here.

And last but definitely not least, I want to show my huge appreciation for Lyra (oloriel), who not only does 95% of the beautiful stamps each month but found all of the objects for this month's challenge. Thank you, Lyra, for all that you do to make these challenges a success!
