You sought your own opportunity at the turn of good luck! Congrats, beautiful sword! Masterful craftsmenship on the rig too!

Well met, Eira!

Those boots look great! Let us know how they hold up after some treks, I'd be interested in the info. I've thought about purchasing a pair myself in the past.

Happy birthday! Hope it was warm and joyous!

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! It has been a very much needed and well spent passed couple days! Also, birthdays are a very good excuse to cross a few things off of your Ranger Wishlist, ha!

Again, thank you all! It warms the heart!

Greetings Aranor! Welcome!

Welcome! Well met, Dawson!

Happy belated birthday!

A very happy birthday to you both

Woah! What an amazing event!
You should be very proud of all you've accomplished within your local ME community! This is just so very cool! It makes me wish for a similar situation in my neck of the woods.

Great pictures! Sounds like you all had a very beautiful trek!

Wow!
The tunic turned out wonderful.
The amount of research, and craft alone shines through. A beautifully crafted piece! Thank you for sharing the process in full, and very well done! As the others have said, I too agree - the fringe, and the subtle contrasts are very striking!

Well met and welcome to the Forum!

Barandir, well met!
Funny thing, I actually just bought a house there. So we moved there just this month. Originally from Missouri though, and have moved around quite a bit in the last few years. What a coincidence!

Greg, thank you! I'm happy and excited to be back amongst such good folk!
