A wizard is never late. Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to.

So guys, I have this copy of the Simarillion that I kind of want to turn into a small little "bible" of Tolkien texts, mostly poems not featured on it.

To do this I'd have to write on it. Naturally I'm intending to practice and I'll using a dipping pen, but I'm kind of straining with the idea of writing in a book. Was always thought never to do such things besides in schoolbooks.

Sounds like an awesome project. You could try adding lots of multi color bookmarks to it. I was looking for a picture of one and saw this, kinda reminds me of three silmarils.

Dang and I keep thinking, how the silmarils will never be on the same page as a metaphor. I'm a genius.

I practiced a shit ton and di it.

Unfortunately, the paper my copy is made out of isn't that good for handwriting with dip pens, but it came out moderately well.

Added the Song of Durin, Fall of Gil-galad and Elven Hymn to Elbereth.

Not sure what to add next.

very nice, maybe The Road Goes Ever On? Also if it were me I'd try my hand at a sketch, after practicing it over and over of course.

I suck at that, and there's not a lot of space on my Silmarillion copy.

I'll stick with the poems.

If I'm gonna do it, I'll do it myself.

Although the paper my Silmarillion copy is printed on would never work for it.

I'm crazy enough to get actual manuscript paper and actually hand copy the entire thing. I just need to find it.

That would take a long ass time. Its a big book. But if you ever get around doing it, please, post pictures of your progress.

I couldn't find any manuscript in shops around me. I have zero idea where to find it besides ordering online, which is a hassle.

Art ateliers usually have them. Is there none in your area?

DUDE do it. That would be some seriously medieval shit. And you have to have art in it too

Project was delayed indefinitely. I still practice trying to make my calligraphy look a bit more Bilbo like. This is my far the most faggy thing I've done.
