Of Mahtan Nerdanel Learned Much of Crafts by oshun
Fanwork Notes
Fanwork Information
Summary: Of Mahtan Nerdanel learned much of crafts that women of the Noldor seldom used: the making of things of metal and stone. She made images, some of the Valar in their forms visible, and many others of men and women of the Eldar, and these were so like that their friends, if they knew not her art, would speak to them; but many things she wrought also of her own thought in shapes strong and strange but beautiful.

I like to think Nerdanel was quite different from other women of the Noldor. Knowing much in the ways of craft. Much like Feanor himself.

Me too. Thanks! Yes. I suppose that was very important to Fëanor also. Doubt if he was looking for a partner who was a placid, pretty housewife.
Míriel Serindë ( Fëanor's mother) was famous for her craft also, but the striking thing about Nerdanel was that she competed with the heavy-lifters in crafts more commonly practiced by men. And yet she was also a mother and married to a guy who never listened to anyone else besides her! She's Epic!

I love the pic you chose to represent her, and the way you did the montage. This lives up to the person you write about.

You are an absolute sweetheart. I could never do Nerdanel justice--she is to me the most sympathetic character. I relate to her in every way! I should write more about her.
Thank you so much!!!
