Nerdanel begins a new project

With a grunt, Nerdanel rolls the large piece of marble towards her workshop.  All the sketches for this sculpture were finished, and she had inspected many pieces of stone before selecting this one; all that was left was to begin her work.  Several minutes later, Nerdanel shifts it the last few inches, sweat trickling down her forehead.  With a triumphant smile, she releases her hold and steps back, already imagining its final form.  Her hands ghost over the stone, tracing small hands clasped around her son's neck, flowers woven through tousled hair, a tired head resting upon a willing shoulder.
