Chiseled in Stone  by Armariel 1 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 1 on 6/2/2005
I've not seen this before, so had no idea you'd written it. But it seems you and I have a similar idea as to the desire for a memorial, and to the process of bringing it into being, although you are working mostly from the memories of the principals while I worked first from the memories of others, and even gave hints through the poor drawings of others, and finally Frodo's own drawings.

I like that the sculptor himself has griefs, and so understands what is true of those he deals with. Lovely story, and love how the clay feels warm in Legolas's hands.

Author Reply: Thank you! I wrote it nearly a year ago and it was first published on tolkienonline.com, but I've revised it a good deal since then. I've just started reading yours. Was a bit daunted by the length at first, and maybe just a bit by the fact that it's probably about 10000 times better than mine...lol...but I'm not letting that stop me anymore.

Thanks once more for reviewing, and am beyond thrilled that you like my efforts!

blessings & cheer
