Summary:

"Then [Varda] began a great labor, greatest of all the works of the Valar since their coming into Arda. She took the silver dews from the vats of Telperion, and therewith she made new stars and brighter against the coming of the Firstborn ... And high in the north as a challenge to Melkor she set the crown of seven mighty stars to swing, Valacirca, the Sickle of the Valar and sign of doom." - The Silmarillion, "Of the Coming of the Elves"

Oh my wow! This is magic! I'm rather in awe of textile art like this and enjoyed zooming in and around the detail. I really like the texture of your mountains.

This is stunning! I love that the stitching of the landscame goes in different directions to create structure and how the stars of the sickle stand out from the other smaller stars, not only because they are bigger but because of the depth of the knot (if that makes sense).
