Hm, maybe I won`t tell you. And no more talking about it either because it`s too off topic. I just thought I`d say hi. ![]() I think I am losing my tengwar again from lack of use. That and there isn`t much room left, what with all the kanji I`m memorizing. It`s painful. |

![]() Well, I'll certainly never be able to remember Tengwar.

I can definitely relate to that. *looks at all of last year's Spanish Tengwar*

Just be careful- I always start something and think "I`ll just practice technique..." on lined or really flimsy paper and then spend hours on it. There have been occasions where I whited out the blue lines and then copied something.

![]() Ha! No. I'm actually don't have problems with lined paper. Hey! My tengwar notebook is graphed paper!
![]() Off Topic: Katya! I saw you on Charmed today! You were a demon and they vanquished you! You were awesome! I didn't know you had shape shifting abilities! ![]()

Still off topic- Heeeeeh?! I have no recollection of this. Maybe I`m doing drugs after all... No, if it was me I wouldn`t have been vanquished. I didn`t know you watched Charmed, TB. I used to watch it back in elementary when I watched Dawson`s Creek too. I saw Dawson`s Creek dubbed into Japanese one time....
Lined paper is not so bad for tengwar since it`s a writing system, but it`s bad for pictures. Like it you were to make a really pretty design inocrporating tengwar I would not recommend lined paper. You can always draw construction lines to make sure you write straight, and then erase them. That`s what I would do, if I was smart. Instead, my tengwar tends to go down. Or get smaller. Yeah, I have a big problem with my characters getting small. |

*bumpsy - back to topic*
Look, lined paper ![]() And, to make things more complicated, I'm currently practising not only Tengwar, but Angerthas, and the ancient Hungarian runes (not lining up with, well, any other runes, and it's right-to-left writing...) ![]() ![]()

Japanese traditionally goes right to left and up and down. But nowadays a lot of the time it`s left to right and side to side. So when all the characters are evenly spread out sometimes people (even Japanese people) take a second to figure out which way to read.
To anyone I haven`t asked before, what are your opinions on tengwar and phonetic spelling versus letter-by-letter straight from English? What is the trend these days? |

Now, when I try Hungarian, it's a difficult matter in itself (see my ramblings to RÃ*an about the c-sound we have, about 2 pages back... And there are tricksy things I haven't even mentioned). I try my best to give our sound-values back; I ended up with some really weird solutions though... Oh! and some days ago I found a website with Gondolinic runes (yess, another set of runes ![]() *rummages among her notes* *can't find link* *goes googling it* gotcha!

Tsssk, who could have guessed that using lined paper once could generate so much discussion?

oooh, that is so cool, littleadanel! Gondolinic runes! I always wondered why Gandalf couldn't read the runes ... how fun to think they were Gondolinic now!
Thanks!! What a shame that the Elfconners are so greedy with their papers ![]()

Alright, not writing, but drawing... Linky here I tried to copy the ROTK White Tree-image... And the stars above... the way I doodle stars when I'm bored. My notebooks are full of stars like this

Bumpety-bang
My 3rd post in a row... but anyway.
I found some very beautiful papers at the bottom of the drawer today... Some time ago, I used to write letters very often, and bought some really nice papers for it. Now I use them quite differently... Yep, Tengwar. Who would've thought? ![]() Link one - the words of Eärendil, and, later, Aragorn. Somehow seemed fit for the boat ![]() Link two - yes, I know it's tiny... It's Galadriel's lament.

![]() Those were really beautiful papers, and I wanted to use them for something - I can't even remember when I bought them, and it's not likely that I write a letter very soon... When I looked at the boat, I immediately thought of Eärendil; and those falling leaves - Galadriel.
