Quenya Table DecorationKerry Maffeo lives in Athens, Georgia and she is 26. Her occupation is quite richL she is in public relations but she also does graphic design, fiull-time photography and she she is the webmaster of four clients. She first read Tolkien when she was 12 and she was subsequently fascinated by the imagery of the story. She went through this once morebefore the Movie came out. Like everyone she is fascinated by Elves, abd she describes them as amazing creatures, a sort of constant presence that exude beauty and relevance (which, as she says, her life rarely mirrors). The inherrant romance of learning a language created to be spoken for those fictional beings draws her towards studying it some point in the future.

She is very proud of the stands, painting plastic leaves silver and then weaving them rhtough the slats of the creates, into a vine of silver wire. For the inscription she sought the help of Helge Fauskanger. Originally meant for her living room, it finally resides in her office (since she mostly 'lives' there).
