Elven Door

The Three Muses challenge 2 is doors. Here I played with various brushes and overlaying of backgrounds to achieve a rich colour.
The words are written with the font used on the ring from Lord of the Rings, and use the Elven greeting from the book. I was tempted to put a litle Hobbit in front, but felt it unnecessary!

Ros this is superb, especially when the image is enlarged and all the layers and words are seen. Thank you also for showing us how you achieved this, quite often artists are very interested in the technique.
