Collecting Fantasy

As well as Fantasy novels (which I won't detail here as I see them as a separate collection), I also collect a few other Fantasy related bits and pieces.

This is not a collection I avidly pursue, it is only items I have casually picked up around a subject I like.

Firstly though I should say that I consider Fantasy to be the more specific genre fantasy i.e. Dungeons and Dragons/Tolkien, and not the wider definition i.e. Alice in Wonderland.

Within this blog entry I am not including:
Novels - I have a very large collection of fantasy novels which I will go into in another blog entry.
Tolkien - Although he is fantasy Tolkien is a separate collection.
Pratchett - Again part of fantasy but also a separate collection.
Tepper - Another separate collection.

Collecting Tolkien - Art

This is a very specialist area.

It is also very diverse, covering anything from original professional one off items to mass produced prints.  It can also include one off, non commercial, amateur items. In fact a lot of things could be treated as art e.g. framed trading cards, signed pictures etc.

At the high end, original art by professional artists is extremely expensive and rare. 

I am not including ornaments or statues here as these are covered in their own area.

I don't really collect Tolkien art and don't have much.

These are the items I do have.

Total Items: 21 (sets counted as one item)
