How to Write Merlins Tower in ElvishHad a long hard week and for some fun I learned a new language – well only learned how to write in Elvish. Ever see those fancy scrolls in Lord of the Rings or any of the other movies / books / games that have Elvish Language written on them? Well This web page has a quick and easy guide on how to convert any english writing in very artistic and fancy elvish writing. Well To the left is my first time trying to write Merlins Tower in Elvish. It really is pretty easy to follow along and accomplish. I can see doing this with a nice broad nibbed fountain pen or a wide italic cut nib. I didn't have any of my wide nibs with me so I had to make due with what I had at hand. This was accomplished with my art book using a find sharpie marker to get the nice broad strokes. (I filled in the lines I drew) I really want to try this out with some of my calligraphy pens when I have a free moment. This guide can be printed out for ease of use. This would be pretty good for making your own scrolls and Mystical Books. Or if you just want to hide what you are writing.

Well thats all for today – Enjoy – Stay Warm and enjoy some nice tobacco in your pipe – You know I am. 8 :-?  <– Merlin Smoking a Pipe

:) What type of tobacco in your pipe, sir? I myself am going to have some Hearth and Home Marble Cake.

LOTR is wonderful! There’s a reason there are linguists who study Tolkien’s work. :)

Yes LOTR is Wonderful – I fondly remember reading this in High School (Even When I didn’t need to read it for a class :-) ) I guess it was good inspiration for the D&D I tried to play.

And for the Pipe Tobacco I am currently smoking is my second can of Haddos Delight by GLPease – I guess I have to write a review of it on here.

Never said it was a way to write LOTR Elvish – Just says that you can write like it. An easy way to convert english to look like elvish.
