Then Varda went forth from the council, and she looked out from the height of Taniquetil, and beheld the darkness of Middle-earth beneath the innumerable stars, faint and far. Then she began a great labour, greatest of all the works of the Valar since their coming into Arda. She took the silver dews from the vats of Telperion, and therewith she made new stars and brighter against the coming of the Firstborn; wherefore she whose name out of the deeps of time and the labours of Eä was Tintallë, the Kindler, was called after by the Elves Elentári, Queen of the Stars.

-J.R.R. Tolkien: The Silmarillion

Beautiful. Varda always seemed to me to be like gaea, the earth, watching over her people. She is fab. Love it. *loving it to death in awe struck wonder*

WUAW!! This is so beautiful! I like the way you let the eyes be empty - It really gives her an otherworldly appearance.
