Talks with Tolkien artists: saphir93
The first Eclipse issue of Talks with Tolkien artists is with saphir93. To be honest, I had no intention to continue the interviews in Eclipse, because it's terrible for making journals, and I'll probably be looking for an alternate site to host them.

My name is Giulia Bernardini and I'm an Italian fantasy illustrator. I love fantasy genre and natural landscapes. I like forests, mountains and countryside.

Teitho: January and February theme *Relationships*
"No [one] is an Island, entire of it self; every [one] is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main." - John Donne

From Merry, Pippin and Fredegar plotting to help Frodo, to Elrond forming the fellowship, to the three hunters refusing to abandon their friends to the Uruk-Hai, it is clear that they all knew the importance of depending on one another.
For January and February, our theme will be Relationships.
In addition to the friendship mentioned, there are also examples of romantic relationships in the stories. Aragorn and Arwen loved for decades
Tolkien's Birthday Toast 2020
J.R.R. Tolkien was born 128 years ago, on January 3rd 1892 in Bloemfontein.
Together with the Tolkien Society, we invite you to celebrate the birthday of this much loved author by raising a glass at 9pm your local time (or when you can, it's past 9 here already, but I just put my dauhter to sleep).
The toast is simply: "To the Professor!", or if you prefer Quenya, "Alasse merendenna i Carmo!"
Teitho: December and January Joker challenge
Again the time has come for a Joker theme in December & January.
Like in a game of cards you can use the Joker card to replace any other, now you can pick any of the past challenges that stir your imagination and write a story or create art for it. You can finally write that story you wanted to write for that challenge once, but didn't have time for it, or write a story for some of the challenges that Teitho had before you even knew about its existence! Please include the title of the challenge you used with your story.
If you would like to illustrate for this challenge, you can take part in our special all-year-round artistic challeng
