Thank you, Hobbitlove. You are most kind. Actually, I didn't think of telling more about how the manips were done until I started reading the journal of bandwench whose manip-making craft is excellent. In her entries, she often explained who she made each piece, providing images of the "parts" she used. I really loved that.
Thank you, Mariole. But I am only on my second coffee? Which excerpt do you mean ("makes it look like Frodo is in the professor's lap...")? The only excerpt is the one about Frodo looking at the Shire maps. I am too muzzy this morning.
Oh! The weenie pic..... *scrolls back up* Yeah, I guess it could look like that. I suppose I never thought about it because I already had the image from which it was cropped firmly in mind.
Do you really think it looks suggestive, or are you teasing me a little, Mariole? I would hate to imply Bilbo is a deviant. I'll re-do the crop if you are serious. Maybe other people are thinking the same thing when they see it, scrolling down the old f-list, but haven't had the nerve to say so.
Thank you so much, Mews. The light really is good. I tweaked the contrast in the copy of the painting I had, in order to bring out the lighting better. I am glad it worked so well for others (besides me, that is).
You amaze me! How you find a wonderful piced of art, the perfect picture to insert in it, and make it so seamless it's as if the other pictures never existed, just this one piece of art as it should/could have been!
Belleferret, you are very kind. I am just lucky that there are so many galleries available to browse on the web. Pictures just sort of "pop up". I saw this one quite by accident, looking up this artist for a different work altogether. What a find, though.

Your contibution to Hobbitmonth is so beautiful, darling Mechtild!
I always love the way you take wonderful works of art, and explain how you insert Frodo-Elijah... and I bless you for doing it here!
*shares your love for sweet wee creatures and the people that portray them*

(Although the little excerpt you chose makes it look like Frodo is in the professor's lap, preparing for a little kiss...) ;)
