While doing newspaper crossword puzzles J. R. R. Tolkien used to draw patterns such as those, selected from among many, that are reproduced here, previously published in The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendar 1979. They date from the 1960s, and are done with coloured ball-point pens. These designs were very frequently of flowers or flowerlike forms; others were friezes, or suggested heraldic devices, belts, or tapestries, and might then be associated with Numenorean works of art or flowers of the imagined world. See nos. 44,45,46, and also the Heraldic Devices, no. 47.
