George RR Martin & the GOT Bag

Norwescon hosts this awesome contest every year called the "Single Pattern Contest" and a few years back, Dejathoris swept all the awards by making this spectacular bag out of leather entirely dedicated to George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Let me break the bag down for you for a moment:

 The three house sigils are hand drawn, carved and painted with the coordinating house words underneath.

On the opposite side the maps were transferred by citrasolve but had to be burned in as the citrasolve transfer was too light. The Kings Landing and Iron Throne were free hand burned in. 

She then added some of the most iconic oaths in the series. 

So why am I telling you all about this now? 1) Because the GoT bag is freaking awesome and 2) Because this past weekend Dejathoris headed down to our favorite Con to get the man himself to sign it! 

Apparently after powering through a million books and other amazing memorabilia he PAUSED, INSPECTED THE BAG and then asked "So where do you want me to defile this?" HOW GREAT IS THAT????

I don't know what else to say but EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
