...lines of fire that seemed to form the letters of a flowing script. They shone piercingly bright...

I am a Tolkien fan, and have seen various models of The Ring Of Power on the internet. I was just wondering if it would be possible to make one with a luminescent gas tube in the middle...kinda like the technology used in the luminox? (i have a luminox and they are very nice.)

This is just another one of those wierd thoughts that pop in my head, and is probably in the wrong place

Would be neat-

It is of course POSSIBLE. But not practical, I think; anything "reasonably priced" would be very chintzy looking. To make one of quality would be quite expensive...

If they made glow rings that were actually rings, that would be a good base--- The most practical way to get a glow ring inside of a metal ring would be to electroform it.

IF I had a glow ring that was an actual ring of the correct size, I could literally "grow" the gold around it, but it would take a master engraver to cut the script through without damaging the glow ring.... or maybe it could be done with a CNC laser????

All I know for sure is that I'd have a better chance of making a Ring with glowing script using magick than I would cutting the script by hand.

Hey guys,

I believe that picture is just a funky effect of the naturally occuring Aeroara Borealis (spelling?). Earths natural light show.

The last time I say the "northern lights" I wanted to go from door to door waking people up at 3am to see it. Fantastic stuff.
