To go along with the Ta'Illistim Grand Arts Gala in November of 2017, GM Galene proposed a real-world art contest. The submitted artwork was required to have something to do with the elven race as related to Gemstone IV, with the interpretation and the medium up to the artist.

Vaalin and Violet Feystone Geldaralad, by MOURNE
Artist: player of Mourne
Title: "Vaalin and Violet Feystone Geldaralad"
Artist Notes:
While I enjoy digital illustration periodically, metal is my primary medium. As such, I chose to create an elven geldaralad out of woven wire and maille. A mixture of fine silver and anodized niobium is my approximation of the pearly white and rainbow sheen of vaalin. The pattern I chose for the suspending chain is a variant of a simple spiral weave, intended to capture both the required 'twisted' nature of the chain in order to be a proper elven geldaralad, as well as present an open and airy aesthetic that would allow me to marry the white silver and rainbow niobium together in such a way that neither became too dominant. Finally, the "feystones" are Swarovski crystal.
