Gorgeous Tengwar Calligraphy!
Web-wandering for some inspiration today, I ran across the most gorgeous Elvish calligraphy project:

Nice to see people bringing a little extra beauty into the world. : )

THAT LOOKS SO FREAKING AMAZING
The mountains are calling and I must go.
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

I don't think they've crossed the paywall yet, but she just posted a lot of new stuff on her patrons page: her manuscript is now at the printers!
So a bound entirely-in-tengwar book is on the way to reality. Sounds like it's going to be lovely.

Re: Gorgeous Tengwar Calligraphy!
I loved Elmenel's work so much, I ended up signing up for her Patreon - and got the first art pieces today! Both are printed on glossy poster paper - they look to be photo scans I assume of the originals, but nicely presented. Eventually I'll get some nice inexpensive poster frames for them, and hang them in the craft room.
One is a map of Eriador, the other an ornamented page of text. It's a good kick in the pants to refresh my memory of the tengwar - it's lovely to see!

What lovely calligraphy and that map is utterly beautiful! My eye keeps going from the map to our M-E map tapestry that hangs on the wall behind the comp, I am sure they will look wonderful frames!

Re: Gorgeous Tengwar Calligraphy!
That is indeed gorgeous calligraphy! I am seeking to design a coin for Thranduil's people of the Greenwood, or (Northern Mirkwood) and I think that style of lettering would be ideal.
