Hodor!
When my
brother told me about Game Of Thrones (GOT), few years ago, I just took that
info and told to myself:“OK, you’ll download that series and watch it, no big
deal!“
He was
speaking about show in superlatives, everything was „high-extra-great-wonderfull-the
best“, and while he was so deep into describing it, I tought to myself how
somebody can be so much addicted on tv show…
Now, few
years latter, he is still just ordinary fan, but, in other hand, I become completly
freak about GOT; not just tv show fan, moreover, I have read all the books and I
addicted myself so much I can’t even imagine a single day without thinking of
Westeros, or visiting the wiki of ice and fire, reading articles about my
favourite characters (there are several of them, and they are still alive, although
Valar Morghulis!)
I
told you already
Beside all
history facts, geography or politics of Westeros & Essos in which I am involved, there is
a dozen of affairs I am involved.
Even my
facebooks homepage is full of imaginary characters pages; all memes, pictures,
quotes, quizzes, challenges, games, jokes, news, spoilers, everything about
GOT.
Finally,
the reason why I am writing this blog is because I wanted to upload several
pictures online, and, of course, I wanted to put them together.
There is
the point:
While I was
overloading my brain with GOT, one great idea occurred. I thought how
wonderfull it will be if I would somehow have in possession a lot of pillows with
sewed sigils of the great houses of Westeros…then, I asked my mom if she will
be kind enough to sew them for me and she said historic yes; YES!
My duty was
to bring materials (canvases in all shades, needles, coloured strings) to her and to supply her with everything she
needed.
One thing
more, I drew all sketches on canvases and then, she sewed sigils according to
the existing sketches.
The
biggiest problem was (and that could be noticed on the pictures) that I
couldn’t find appropriate shades of given colours for some specific houses
sigils, so in some cases it’s not 100% identic as GRRM described them. Also,
another problem was hiding in the fact I couldn’t drow sketchs on the black
canvases, thus one of mayor houses remain undone. Guess which-Targeryans. At
first, I tried with night watch sigil (black crow across black canvas), but I’m
not satisfied about output…need to find solution about next one.
Right now,
I have 17 pillows, and we have in plans ~10 more; but, I need to wait winter period
because my mom will have more free time then. During previous winter season,
she sewed those 17 pillows.
Fans,
enjoy!
