Hobbit Party Progress: Our DIY Doors Of Durin & Mount Doom Ring Toss

preview

Hallo, friends! I've missed you! How'd the last week and a half go? Unfortunately Iwas on the couch with a sinus-y head-cold thing for most of it, including Christmas, so John and I had to spend the day alone.&nbsp; That's ok, though, becausein true Hobbit style we have SECOND Christmas to look forward to.Yep, while everyone is posting recaps and resolutions, Johnand I are still merrily decorating, wrapping gifts, and working on our costumes.&nbsp;LOOK HOW CUTE JOHN IS AS A HOBBITHe's been growing out his hair, and thrifted everything except thecloak, which is just some pinned green fabric.While I was down John made all SORTS of Hobbit party things, which I'm about to show you. My only contribution today is the bathroom sign, but at least it's some of my finest work:MY FINEST. :D[Update: by popular request, here's my image file. Feel free to download &amp; print your own!]I also planned and wrapped a bunch of things for a "White Oliphaunt" dice game, since theCritical Role gang made it look so fun on 4-Sided Dive.&nbsp; Meanwhile, John's smallest project last week was an 8-foot tree of Gondor for the back yard:It's plywood covered in glitter, and we have a bunch of lights around it, so it'sall sparkly at night.John's favorite build is completely over-the-top ridiculous, and all his idea, ha. First he hand-painted a block wall onto pink foam:... which looks like this:(awesome shading, right?)Next he sealed off half of the guest bathwith it:Then he added some magic, and with the flip of a switch...&nbsp;Ta-daa! The Doors of Durin!We're hooking up a black light on a timer above the bathroom door, so it'llbe a surprise reveal when folks go in.Now help us out: what should John write in the archway on top?&nbsp; Thereal one says "Speak, friend, and enter" but I'd like something cute orfunny and bathroom-related. Hit me with your suggestions!K, last thing I want to share is MY favorite build-in-progress, because Johntook my punny idea and turned it into pure gold:Rings, that is.So what do you do with over-sized OneRings at a Hobbit Party?Give it a minute.That's right, Gollum.You throw them into Mount Doom.WE'RE MAKING A MOUNT DOOM RING TOSS.&nbsp;&nbsp;Complete with glowing lava and smoke! (Still working on the lighting, so it'll film better.)&nbsp;John made the mountain from stacked pink foam scraps:Then carved in texture with an angle grinder:And finished it off with plaster and paint:&nbsp;It has flame motion lights inside and piped-in "smoke" from our fog machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;By a happy accident, the clear hot-glue seams glow like channels of lava!The mountain sits on a table for extra height, which we'll be camouflagingwith stiff canvas painted to match.That mountain backer board is getting raised up, too, to stop the rings fromlanding behind it.And because John is having so much fun with black-light effects, of course Mount Doom and the rings will have some extra magical touches: OooOOOOooh.I hope you're getting as excited for Hobbit Holiday: Second Christmas as I am! And hey, if your holiday wasn't great, try having a round 2. It's kind of wonderful planning Christmas things in January; everyone's so much more relaxed. Plus in our case, the weather next week should be less hot and rainy, so we're hoping for some crisp smores-making weather, aw yeah. ::fingers crossed::*****Before you go, big congrats to Renee O. &amp; Mely, our December Squeegineer winners!

You both are so clever; thank you for sharing the joy of the build with us!!For the bathroom, an actual Gandalf quote: "Have patience. Go where you must go and hope."Aliooo! Such a good suggestion!ReplySusanomg I'm dieing! Now I'm wondering what other innocent phrases can be turned like that 🤣ReplykingshearteOMG, Julie, that just made me *cackle*.ReplyReplyAliAll so incredible! And John makes the BEST hobbit!ReplyAnonymousI have not stopped grinning through this whole post! And John needs to audition when thru make another Hobbit film!ReplyZitaSuggestion for the door: Squat, Friend, and Flush :-)Replyjtb34Amazing as always - your creativity and talent knows no bounds!ReplySamFor the door "pee friends, but not on the floor!"ReplyAnonymousHow about, "Thou shalt pass, flush, &amp; exit" or "Go, friend, &amp; flush those cares away"?ReplyAnonymous"Employees must wash hands before returning to work"I know it doesn't follow the original quote format, but I think it would be funny. ReplyAnonymousTHIS. Perfect comment is perfect!ReplyAnonymousFlush you fools! :) ReplyAndreaJohn looks amazingly realistic as a hobbit. I'm starting to wonder if maybe you ARE hobbits. You love making a cozy home and having parties.
