Avad am Emyn -- Mirkwood Elk Pendant

Avad am Emyn: Reluctance Upon the Hills

There is no Sindarin word for elk, so I wrote a title inspired by the scene where Thranduil takes his army back to Mirkwood.
(All the words are in Sindarin because Thranduil is Sindarin.)

Enameled copper wire, glass chip beads, acrylic leaf, and Canadian coin. 3 1/2 inches long.

...I would have settled for the elvish word for moose too. Anyone else think it's hilarious to call Thranduil's elk a moose?

I learned some interesting facts about Canadian money while researching for this description. Their paper money is a note. They don't have quarters, dimes, or pennies--they have 25-cent pieces, 10-cent pieces, and cents. The animal on the 25-cent piece is actually a caribou (or reindeer.)

...Now I'm imagining Thranduil soaring above Middle Earth on Christmas Eve on a flying reindeer!
