I have read most of the first book. In it it states that Aegon the Conqueror commanded his armorers to forge a great seat from
the swords laid down by his enemies. It is a monstrosity of spikes and jagged edges and grotesquely twisted metal. A hellishly
uncomfortable chair!!!! :slyfox

Exclusive Paperweight

It's only $60 and looks like it would make a good weapon too.

Looks like I have a bad influence on you, moonflower  :mutley:

The throne was forged by the fire of dragon with swords laid down by enemies as Lasue said  :hellyeah2:

Van Houten also states that she'd been offered an earlier Game of Thrones role, but had been forced to turn it down at the time. "When they asked me to try out for a different role, I was available and interested. That's how I wound up in a very small room in Ireland in front of five men, scared out of my wits."

It's so interesting to see how believeable these scenes look!! I've always thought that special effects were best used to make
the real more REAL!!! It's easier to get into a fantasy if the look of a film seens right for the story. :slyfox

Game of Thrones keeps inspiring people.

 On a personal note,I've started making a new quilt in the Stark colours, black and grey


Don't forget to add in a bit of mint green.  They used that on the Stark tournament banner.


Thanks for the tip Sable! I've finished my Stark inspired quilt top.I also added some 'Ned Stark' dark green.I haven't decided on the backing fabric yet,maybe some fake fur?

Those fake Twitter accounts were funny  :mutley:

Another example of your talent as a quilter, patch!  Will you try to sell this one or keep it?  It looks like your doggy has already claimed it.

It certainly appeals to me.  Would fit nicely with my bedroom decor.  The fake fur idea is great, Patch!
