We see the Victorian furniture handed down through generations, well-loved books on the shelves, and a comfortable fireplace with an oven for baking the treats he loves. The walls reflect the natural colors of his world. But on those walls are his favorite maps marked in red, and gold coat-hooks for guests from near and far, and the bright burgundy armchairs upholstered with X’s hint that adventures might have a place in his life, after all. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51fc8a52e4b05ae014fca2b8/51fc973de4b00f4020ea191f/56a7de1b395614c4b94ef761/1453841945474/Hobbit+Bagend+Exterior.jpg The Hobbit - The Hobbit: Bag End Exterior Texas UIL State Meet 2013: Finalist in Scenic Design.

The windows, door, and frame of the church are made of wood, while the verticals are wide white ribbon. Using ribbons in the middle of the church made it light, inexpensive, quick to build, yet a white wedding fantasy. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51fc8a52e4b05ae014fca2b8/569e949c3b0be3cdaf4cf356/56a28002c21b86b13fdda7ab/1517111818379/Midsummer-WhiteModel-72DPI.jpg Scene Design A Midsummer Night's Dream: 1/4" Scale Model, Theoretical Design, Texas UIL State Meet, 2012 This was for the Texas UIL 2012 competition.

The large crescent moon also shows the reflection of earth’s light known as earthshine. Meanwhile, the actors are standing in moonlight. Each part of the duality is key to understanding the whole. This quote sums up my inspirations: “And I have found Demetrius like a jewel, Mine own, and not mine own.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51fc8a52e4b05ae014fca2b8/569e949c3b0be3cdaf4cf356/56a27ffcc21b86b13fdda786/1517112000905/Hobbit-Open-72DPI.jpg Scene Design The Hobbit: Interior of Bag End, Theoretical Design, Texas UIL State Meet, 2013 Bilbo's house opens up to accommodate the twelve dwarves as his heart does later.
