Lets Share!
Idea started by @SamwiseTheAwesome (so I have started this with some of his artwork): Just ask in the comments if you'd like to participate, and I'll look through your gallery and select a few pieces that I like and feature them here for others to see :nod: Feature's: ^I really like the way he has drawn the whole scene here, it has good layering where the landscape appears to fade into the distance ^this one is just cool because it's part of a shared project from a long time ago that I had mostly forgotten about ^an awesome piece of craftsmanship ^bow making is very difficult (I know because I tried once) and @WildWoodsmith 's work is always skilled and professional Please post a "Lets share" journal yourself to spread the positivity!

For those of you who aren't familiar with the principle of a hobbit bounder, they're kinda a bit like rangers, except they go home to a nice warm hobbit hole at the end of each day, and a bit like police but they don't usually arrest people.
