Hello, everyone!

I always dreamed of a LOTR edition that portrayed my favorite moment in the books: the one when Sam gains hope from Earëndil's star in Mordor. I decided to take matters into my own hands and commission a custom binding, but most options (like a leatherbound book) failed to meet my expectations. Until, that is, I learned about the wonderful work of Ella Resende!

Although she does make traditional bindings, she also makes embroidered ones, which allows for more intricate designs, making it the perfect option for what I wanted. The cover depicts the moment I mentioned, the back portrays Vingilot and the spine carries Earëndil's heraldic device.

My quest is finally over! I'd love to know what you guys think! Oh, and if you're interested in embroidered bindings, Ella ships internationally! You can find her on Instagram, here's the video she made showcasing my book: ellaresendeart
