Details: Choose a stanza from the Anglo-Saxon Rune poem and illustrate it using whichever method you are most comfortable with (Photoshop, MS Paint, pen-and-paper, whatever!)
Deadline: Sunday, October 30th, 2011 at 7pm EDT, 23:00 UTC (check the time converter).
Points: 10 points participation

At this link, you will find a translation of the Anglo-Saxon rune poem. Your task is to take one stanza (in case of confusion, each stanza is separated into its own little "square" at that link) and create a relevant illustration, using Photoshop, MS Paint, pen-and-paper, or whatever other program you're most comfortable with.

You are not required to put the text of your stanza on your image, but you are welcome to do so if you'd like.

Please post your images under your house's thread, and keep the size to 500px along the longest side (meaning the largest your image can be is 500x500 pixels).

Please use the text/HTML in the text box when posting your comment.

Name: Rita
Which stanza did you choose?:Ice is very cold and immeasurably slippery; it glistens as clear as glass and most like to gems; it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.

and very courageous to him who traverses the high-roads
on the back of a stout horse."

The placement of that text is awesome--I never think to do things like that when I'm making images. The colors are also really great. Thanks!

Aww thanks! :D

Name: William
Which stanza did you choose?: stanza 3 (The thorn is exceedingly sharp,
an evil thing for any knight to touch,uncomm only severe on all who sit among them.)

That's excellent! I really like the font choice. :)

I'm in a middle-english class right now and I just couldn't resist the stereotypical font. :D

Name: Tash
Which stanza did you choose?:
The ash is exceedingly high and precious to men.
With its sturdy trunk it offers a stubborn resistance,
though attacked by many a man.

Ah! So lovely. The coloring, plus the picture of the tree and something about the text, all remind me of a book I had when I was younger. Thank you!

This...I love this. Thank you! I do need you to sign the roster (http://hh-clubs.livejournal.com/1584593.html), though, or your points won't count. :( But well done!

No problems whatsoever! I've just gotta keep things in order. <3

Name: Noelle
Which stanza did you choose?: The sun is ever a joy in the hopes of seafarers
when they journey away over the fishes' bath,
until the courser of the deep bears them to land.
