The Hobbit Series: Line of Durin

Line of Durin

Finally, here is the Line of Durin: Thorin, Fili, and Kili! They are from my amigurumi version of "The Hobbit" movie characters. I hope you like them!

Above is the photo I used for reference. I also posed them in the same way. How do they compare? :)

And here are some of just the brothers, Fili and Kili!

And here the princes are with little Bilbo!

And here are what I like to call the "family photos." I certainly felt like a family photographer during this photo shoot. The real Fili and Kili probably wouldn't have been so patient and still during the shoot... ;)

And there they are, all happily together with their hobbit :)

Maybe I had a bit too much fun taking these photos, but they certainly came out alright!  I'm quite pleased with the final products, and I hope you guys are as well. They were really fun to crochet and now I'm quite fond of them. They look like they're all ready for an adventure soon!

Ok, now for a bit of house keeping: I will be taking a short break from the Company members (as in the dwarves), but I don't want to stop crocheting yet. I think that for now, I'll stick within the Tolkien / Hobbit universe and move on to a different fandom once I'm done. Based on the results from my poll on my blog and on Instagram, the next character I'm making is... Gandalf! 

I hope you're all looking forward to seeing the grey wizard as much as I am! Come back in a week or so to see if he's arrived. 

Until the next time!

The Hobbit Series (Part 3)

Fili

I'm excited to present the third installment of the Hobbit series! I was able to get this little guy done earlier than usual because I had some free time for once this past week (thanks to the snow day and delayed opening!). So, I proudly present the heir to the throne of Erebor, Prince Fili! :D

Look at him in his little fur coat :3

Here are some side views of the golden-haired dwarf prince!  His braids were a bit troublesome to make since they were small, especially his tiny mustache braids. But, it was worth it in the end!

And here are some photos from behind! I wasn't sure whether or not to put one big braid in the back of his head, or just tie it and let it be loose. As you can probably tell, I kind of did a mix? Whatever it is, I happen to like it! :)

Just as a little side note, Fili is pretty much the same size as Thorin, and both of them are bigger than Bilbo (they are dwarves, after all!). So, he's about 5 inches (or almost 13 cm) tall.

And of course, here is Fili posing with my pocket-edition "The Hobbit" book. 

I hope you all liked this latest addition to my amigurumi Hobbit series! I've been getting a lot more buzz on Google + and Instagram, so thank you for that! I also received a request to make Thranduil, which I am absolutely planning to do, but I wanted to make one more company member before I take a short break from the dwarves (they can be quite the demanding bunch for sure!). 

I will try to get the next post finished soon so that I can complete the request (which was on Instagram). If you guys want some fun behind-the-scenes or work-in-progress pictures, follow me on Instagram @justbyjanelle ! And, if you want me to make anything in particular, just send me a request either through my blog (Contact page) or Instagram, I'd love to hear from you!

See you next week! ;)
