This frame consists of many different widths and layers of mild steel arranged to suggest the architecture in the underground Dwarf mines of Moria, in “The Lord of the Rings” films. Gollum, as seen here, is a maquette, or model, used for reference when making these films. It’s creator is unknown.

I started by making a wooden frame for this poster. By trying to bring something from the image out onto the frame, I covered the wood with sections of black suede leather, referring to Elric’s cape.

I’ve used various lengths and widths of mild steel stock, layered and welded together to create this frame. I then went over the entire frame with sanding discs and scotch pads to create a bright finish. I then hand riveted some copper accent pieces to each side of the frame.
