B I L B O • Go On Adventure ✨
The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way.
Piece made for Emily inspired by LOTR, I really enjoyed creating this project and incorporating the elements that were most meaningful to her into the composition.
