You Will Find Your Courage



What have I done? The burning fire
Is closing all around.
I am consumed, am perished -
Ash falling to the ground.
Is this to be my ending
Of the adventure i have led?
What of me will they speak of
After I am dead?

 What have I done? The burning fire
Is eating all my thoughts.
I am screaming, suffocating -
Battles here come to naught.
Is this to be my ending,
Another vast mistake?
Will any good be remembered
When all learn of my fate?

 What have I done? The burning fire
Is tearing me apart.
I am bleeding – can no one hear?
 It's shattering my heart.
Is this to be my ending?
Will any weep for me?
Regret I now my fool's head -
In death I wisdom see.


This is another two-part set. This is Peregrin Took's.

this is actually an incredibly simple one - hardly any pictures or complications. Beyond finding the material, of course - but that's irrelevant.

This is mainly inspired by Pippen and the Palantír. I don't really know why - but..... There's something about that and his character that got stuck.

However, this is also massively inspired by Pippen's eventual role as the Thain of the Shire. (I finally opened the book again to reread it, and one must ALWAYS read the prologues, and opening notes, and basically every single word on the page.)

So I somehow balanced a responsible king - or leader - with the curious Took that caused so much trouble and yet brought so much good.

And youth too, for he's not as old or as dignified as the others.

This gown is the result....

A Chance to Show His Quality...

Since this all STARTED with Faramir, I might as well post the pictures with his quote as well.

Edited, of course.

Faramir's gown by Angelique
As stated, this is Faramir's gown. The overdress is barely visible, and tends to meld with the robe - but it is all there. At the least, you can see the colouring and the style. The underdress can be worn alone, of course, and would be well suited for a spring or summer day.


Eowyn's Gown by Angelique


Eowyn's gown - it REALLY should be darker. However, I lost my coloured pencils and had to do this in crayon. Which never cooperates on the best of days.... So, just imagine the blue a midnight blue, and the red much much darker - and it will be perfect! Again, at least you can see the style.

Ellessar Gown by Angelique

And the Ellessar Gown. Faramir's is still my favourite, but this comes a close second currently. And the colours are perfect too!!


Can I just say that I ADORE gowns? The richer the material, the more I love it.

Also, the more expensive it is. Now THAT is rather discouraging.......

I also find it somewhat amusing that I have about eight posts in drafts - that it wil be at least a week before anyone sees these.....
