Mallorn leaves
What shape are mallorn leaves? I'm making lembas, and my sister and I have been arguing over what shape the leaves for the mallorn leaf wrapping are supposed to be. (you can tell by this how bored we are without school ) Any opinions, anyone?

Re: Mallorn leaves
How are you making lembas??
Anyway I thought mallorn leaves were normal-shaped, although of course I'm probably wrong. |

Re: Mallorn leaves
The thing to do would be to search for any pictures that Tolkien himself might have draw of Lothlorien. Perhaps there was enough detail to get an idea.
From the description in The Two Towers, when Aragorn is tracking Merry and Pippin, we know that mallorns are a broad-leafed, deciduous tree. To be fit for wrappings, they can't be shaped like oak leafs. They can't be thick and stiff. Perhaps more like a large fat maple leaf. |

It may be viewed here:

I always thought that they were shaped like beech-leaves.

I'd copy the leaf on the brooches that were given to the fellowship. I've always pictured the Mallorn tree as similiar to the Aspen that grows out west in the USA. The leaves turn golden and make a wonderful sound.
