This looks great, very clean and consistent hand-writing!

Did you copy the letters from the books one by one, or are there any further sources you could recommend? I'd been meaning to dabble in calligraphy one day (hoping to create something like the above), but haven't found anything directly focusing on Elvish yet.

Tecendil is a great resource to use. I use the English mode of Tengwar Script. So if you're looking to actually use tengwar script to write in Sindarin or Quena, it'll look a lil different from mine.

I'd probably start with Tengwar transliterations of English to get a feel for the script, and perhaps after that try my hand at Sindarin/Quenya (which to my outsider's eyes seem as daunting as they are beautiful).

Tecendil looks indeed handy, thanks for the tip!

Correction: my original comment was completely incorrect. Nice writing! (hopefully the federation system will allow my edited comment to work)

Looks fine to me! Thanks, man!
