Here is my latest creation; hobbit ears, inspired by the halflings of middle earth. I wanted to create an ear closer to those envisioned for the movie characters but with my own interpretation. I try to balance a realistic design with the goal of achieving a universal fit.
Bilbo & Company
Whether you’re cosplaying Bilbo, Frodo, Sam Gamgee, Rosie or any hobbit, these are the ears for you! Plus they’re waterproof so they can withstand a ride on the river, even over a barrel.
Why Cast in Silicone
All of my ears are cast in silicone, this material offers several benefits. Silicone allows the flexibility to fit a good range of people, it looks super realistic, it’s waterproof and non-latex. I have designed these Hobbit Ears in two sizes: regular fit as well as a size for larger ears. As a general rule size regular fits teens and women and large is generally a better fit for men or larger ears. This is just a guideline and because of the flexibility of silicone there is some overlap in sizing.
