what is "the tengwar project"?

For nearly a year and a half I have wanted to do create a book in tengwar via calligraphy and some illumination. This is an ongoing piece that will not be finished right away due to me having other things I need to do in my daily life, but I felt it was time I started tracking it's progress. (For those who are unfamiliar with tengwar, you may recognize it as the "elvish writing" from The Lord of the Ring series by J.R.R Tolkien. Keep in mind that by itself it is not a language, merely a script for writing.) In planning, the project has gone through a number of mutations but has recently found its final conceptual form. After choosing groups of text, transcribing them into tengwar only to scrap it in its entirety and start over ... I have finally settled on a number of William Butler Yeats poems mostly from his earlier years. I originally sought out poems that had a common foundation in Irish myth, legend, or at least Yeat's interpretation it. A couple of my final choices do not meet this criteria but their spirit is the same. All texts have then been hand transcribed (no computer programs here!), proof read, proof read again, and ultimately will end up in their final form. A lot of thought has gone into the transcription method. To explain the method to my madness, as well as to keep myself in line, the English mode used and my sources have all been written up into a document that will be posted after this.

Texts (order still to be decided):

The Rose of the World
The Song of the Wandering Aengus
The Stolen Child
To Some I have Talked with by Fire
The Poet Pleads with the Elemental Powers
The Withering of the Boughs
