Disclaimer: Here is a blend of Original Tolkien creations (aka my best efforts at recreating the author’s drawing), modifications on the original, and designs completely from cloth. Previous Entries can be found under the sigil tag. Please credit if use.

In order:

Poppies, Snow Lilies

Notes:

Yes, I'm reposting these once more. Because if people in the Silmarillion/Tolkien fandom continue to use them, I want nice official links to them. And so another crosspost from tumblr project is born.

A pair of floral feminine sigils for two Noldor ladies. Both are inspired by motif requests - laurelsblue asked for poppies and evenelvish requested snow and lilies. The Poppies are directly inspired by one of Alphonse Mucha’s color lithographs, and the bold colors and geometric maze-work fit the Noldor aesthetic to my original sigil designs. Art nouveau flowers, however, are a Sindarin element, so my story for this device is that it belongs to a Noldor lady born in the Second or Third Age, when the Sindarin culture brought back by the returning Exilies and thousands of elves reembodied in Valinor have influenced visual design in Aman. She’s a very trendy and fashionable young lady and writes sappy poetry about Edain heroes.

The Snow Lilies is the sigil for my OC from this family - if I have a Noldor version of the Starks of Winterfell, I have to have the elven version of Sansa. All her family but her mother and baby brother go into Exile (Most will stay Cousin Edrahil under Finrod), though her father died at Alqualondë, and she breaks off her betrothal to a blonde Vanya punk and goes to live with a much happier and healthier Aunt Lysa. Nor does she lose her Valinorean Hound, Lady. The color scheme is the same as Winterfell, and for once a white flower on a sigil that isn’t nimphredil.
