The new "Parma Eldaliéva Special III" is a calligraphic Tengwar 'portrayal' of
Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth. This important
conversation between the friend of Men and the Wise-woman - the longest that has been recorded between an elf
and a human in the legendarium - is something Tolkien meant to add to the Silmarillion, as
we know from the tenth volume of "The History of Middle-earth". I cherish this work
very much. In its current shape, or redone later, it is an important part of my work on the
second major "Parma Eldaliéva".
The completion of the originals for the pages of the art book and the
current edition
mark the 15th Anniversary of my Parma Eldaliéva project this summer. It
has been a long and demanding road to go on, but I hope that my works in this project will
leave this
world a little better place - more beautiful, and not only visually so (you probably know that
from "The Project" -> "Aims" section on this site). The works I work for
are deeply cherished by me for their inner power to inspire things that are wholesome and good in
the minds, deeds and words of many people and in many areas, or "gardens", among which I feel
honoured to be. I am working in a manner which they have helped me value even more, according to
whatever talents I have been gifted.
I wish you all the very best!

Today I am celebrating 15 years since I started working on my Parma Eldaliéva project.
I am delighted to be celebrating the occasion with a new finished manuscript - my
calligraphic Tengwar art 'version' of the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth.
Today I am also particularly delighted to look at the big red books on my shelves - some
of the fruits of tens of thousands of hours of my lifetime spent in dedicated work. I am
glad to have completed them, and I am looking forward to making more that are also so very
dear to my heart.
My completed "Parma Eldaliéva" art books:
March 2016
- "Parma Eldaliéva I": a calligraphic Tengwar art 'version' of "The Hobbit" - First printed
in 2016 & 2017.
December 2018
- "Parma Eldaliéva Special I": a calligraphic Tengwar art 'version' of the Akallabêth, a
description of the Island of Númenor and the Line of its Kings. First printed in 2019.
July 2021
- "Parma Eldaliéva Special II": a calligraphic Tengwar art book dedicated to the Third Age
and the Rings of Power, the death of Isildur and the Tale of Years. First printed in July
2021.
July 2024
- Completed the calligraphic Tengwar art 'version' of the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth.
To be released soon in a printed version.
I am currently working on "Parma Eldaliéva II". It will be followed by "Parma Eldaliéva IV",
and then by "Parma Eldaliéva V - VI".
Completed major Parma Eldaliéva calligraphic Tengwar art maps in thematic order:
Map 1: 2011 - 2015
Map 2: 2011 - 2014
Map 3: 2010 & 2014
Map 4: 2010 - 2014
Map 5: 2012 - 2014
Map 6: 2018
Map 7: 2018
Map 8 (included in Special I): 2019
As some of you know my Parma Eldaliéva project includes seven original calligraphic art
books, seven major maps, and some scrolls inspired by the works of J.R.R.Tolkien. I work
with my original calligraphic scripts for Tengwar, which I devised and continue to develop
with utmost care and respect for the stories that inspired me, in harmony with the concept,
and in accordance to the needs of each of the project's parts. I strive to make them true
to the nature of Tengwar and its unique inner "logic" and true to the purpose of their
development and the stories - they do not copy or follow samples, styles or scripts from
human history, traditions or alphabets.
The work on the books is, perhaps understandably, rather slow and requires my full
attention. But as I shared with a friend recently: if my art is a language, then as
Treebeard says "...we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a long time to
say, and to listen to."
The project also include several "Special" books that appeared in the course of my work on
the main volumes - art manuscripts or compilations of art manuscripts which may or may not
be included as they are in the finalised Parma Eldaliéva volumes.
I am very happy with what I have achieved up to now. Whatever trials and obstacles there
have been during the years they had only made me more skilled and determined, and the art
books - perhaps in many ways fairer than I imagined. I look forward to making more Parma
Eldaliéva artworks.

The new printing of "Parma Eldaliéva Special I" has been completed.
The preorders have been dispatched.
Today I made the remaining copies available on this site's
Store.
They will be available there until the 10th of July , or until there are any left -
whichever comes first.
The Store on this site will close on the 10th.

I have the pleasure to offer to you a new print of "Parma Eldaliéva Special I"!
This is an art book dedicated to the Akallabêth, a description of Númenor and the line of
its Kings. It was first printed in the beginning of 2019, in only 50 copies which quickly
found their homes. Since then I have been asked repeatedly for new ones, and now I finally
arranged a new print.
As usual the new print number of copies depends on the number of preorders. You can
preorder from today until March 25th at a price of €110 + P&P*,
and from March 26th to April 25th at a price of €145 + P&P*.
The print will take place in April and I will despatch the books in May.
For making a preorder you can use the PayPal button here below [NOTE: That button has
been removed at the end of the preorder campaign.] or on the
Store page of this site.
You do not need a PayPal account to do that.
I hope the new print of this art book will bring joy to everyone who gets a copy!

The Tolkien Days 2022 in Geldern, Germany - Tolkien Tage - were a
fantastic experience. I am delighted that I met many appreciators of the works of the
Professor and so many who dedicate significant part of their time to art and activities
inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Special thanks to Becky Dillon, Sebastian Richartz, Tobias M. Eckrich, Franz Brehme
Arredondo and Thathiana Marcello for their
companionship, care, and help with displaying my art. My gratitude to so many others too, whose words and kindness I remember dearly. Thank you.
It was a joy being among you!

The new "Parma Eldaliéva Special II" art book will be released in July. It is dedicated to the Third Age,
the Rings of Power, the death of Isildur and the Tale of Years. It has 144 pages of Tengwar Art.
This is the third art book I have completed, after the first "Parma Eldaliéva" and
"Parma Eldaliéva Special I". I am tremendously glad and excited about it! The printing is
in time for the 12th Anniversary of the Parma Eldaliéva project this July.
The photos here are of some test pages I ordered with the printers to aid my editorial
work & test the materials, and of some of the originals.
You can preorder it from today until the end of June on a special price at my store:
www.store.elmenel.com/parma-eldalieva-special-ii
The number of preorders determines roughly the number of books to be printed. The payment
happens at the time of preordering. If any copies are left to offer after the printing
their price would be much different from the preorder one.
If you are one of my Patreon supporters - a reward copy for you is ensured. Thank you so
much for supporting my art and for helping this book see the light of day!
All the very best!

"Tolkien2019" in August, in Birmingham - an event commemorating the 50th
Anniversary of the Tolkien Society - was fantastic! Many thanks to the organisers
for their hard work and the wonderful results of it!
I am very glad that I managed to meet and enjoy this event with my friends
and supporters who were there - it was great to experience this together.
I am delighted that I was able to make many new friends too.
I am extremely happy to say that my art got not just noticed, but also praised by the
much loved and greatly respected Alan Lee and Ted Nasmith. I am humbled and so very,
very glad!
Both Mr. Nasmith and Mr. Lee were tremendously kind and welcoming. Apart from the joy of
our more private conversations, to have Alan Lee introducing me as an artist whose work
and talent he admires to people approaching him for a conversation meant a lot to me.
The feeling of gladness when he also showed to others the "Parma Eldaliéva Special I"
that I presented him with after he, again, praised my art, was enormous.
I had the pleasure to have a conversation with him that I will always remember and cherish.
I am so very, very honoured and glad for the chats I had with Mr. Nasmith, too!
It was so thrilling when he, an artist who has spurred on my imagination in my formative
years and whom I have much admired, replied to a question related to potential future
map-making, that it should be not him, but me, who should be making these maps.
Him telling me that my work is class meant a lot to me.
The appreciation of those refined, talented, loved artists means so much to me! Their
good words make me feel even better about my art, after all those years of hard work on it.
I had the honour and pleasure to speak with each of them
(as much as the limited time at such events allows for personal conversations) about work,
and more.
The scrolls I displayed at the event were the 2019 version of the Tuor
Scroll and the Coming of Fingolfin Scroll. Among the other artworks I exhibited at the Art Show
were copies of the first Parma Eldaliéva and of "Parma Eldaliéva Special I" art books,
as well as all seven Parma Eldaliéva maps together with
the original of one of them. I had the pleasure to give a talk and have a workshop.
My deepest gratitude to all my supporters and friends who made my participation possible!
All the very best!

I am glad to announce that I have recently
completed a new art book, "Parma Eldaliéva Special I". It compiles calligraphic
Tengwar art 'versions' of the Akallabêth,
of a description of the Island of Númenor, and of the Line of its
Kings. The first printed copies of it
were ready on February 12th.
The three art manuscripts are part of my preparations
for "Parma Eldaliéva" II & III. They have been gathered together
due to their close thematic and inspirational connection.
The new "Special" series of which this is the first volume might be, in a way, secondary
in its significance compared to the major "Parma Eldaliéva" volumes I am
working on, but it is also rather unique - some of the manuscripts in it could be included in the major
volumes in different versions despite the quality of their current ones.
I devised the series with the thought of sharing with my supporters in a printed form some
of the best parts of the preparations for the major project volumes in
the course of my work on them. "Parma Eldaliéva Special I" (104
pages) is also the first full colour book of my project. I expect the
next book in this particular series, "Parma Eldaliéva Special II", to be
ready next year.
I have to admit that due to the enormous attention required by my art work
on the calligraphed manuscripts, the additional design work, the preparations of printed
copies, and more, recently I have been
having very little time for site updates. To all those interested in my art and progress on
Parma Eldaliéva: it seems that my Patreon
has indeed become the very best place to follow the Parma Eldaliéva creative process and its milestones.
Additionally, the project's facebook page www.facebook.com/ParmaEldalieva
has also become a good place for those interested in and wanting to enjoy only information and images I show publicly.
All the very best!

Yesterday I printed for the first time the seventh "Parma
Eldaliéva" map. The project's set of major maps is now complete!
I designed this one as one of the most strongly imbued with
lore in the set. The first 84 cm x 60 cm print will be displayed at
Oxonmoot next week together with the rest. I finished the original
earlier this summer (100 cm x 70 cm), then worked on the print version.
Here are some photos of both.

Yestarë, Loa 2, Yén 15 (March 29th, 2018)
Happy New Loa 2, Yén 15, with the new, sixth Parma
Eldaliéva map!
I finished the map (original and three print versions) earlier
this week, in time for Mettarë & for Yestarë of Loa 2,
Yén 15. This year (only, I hope) I was unable to finish in time
the new Loa calendar I have been preparing, due to a January
health-related work disruption. However, in March I focused on the map
as a large new work to complete and share with my Patreon supporters in
the first hours of the New Loa.
The new map is relevant to the
contents of Parma Eldaliéva III & Parma Eldaliéva II, Part
IV, on which I am focusing nowadays. It joins the Patreon campaign
rewards and the set of Parma Eldaliéva printable maps as the
sixth of that series (not counting the variations).
My
gratitude to those who support my art!

Yestarë Loa 1 Yén 15 (March 29th, 2017)
Welcome the Elven New Year and Yén 15 of this Age!
Today is its first day, yestarë. And I am delighted to tell you of
the release of a wall calendar for the first year of the new yén.
The calendar has 12 pages and every month displays one of my
Tolkien-inspired Tengwarin calligraphic artworks. It features month and
weekday names in Tengwarin calligraphy. The space for each date includes
the seasonal date or out-of-season day name, even as the months fit the
"modern" reckoning. The date-space contains:
1) the modern
month-date in Tengwarin numerals - decimal and calligraphed in red ink
for this purpose; 2) the modern month-date in Arabic numerals; 3) the
Elven seasonal date in Arabic numerals; 4) the name, in Tengwarin
calligraphy, of the Elven season or of the out-of-season day name (black
ink). 
I have
hand-drawn the originals of all other graphic art that is added to the
calligraphy. Figuring out how to fit things I want in a single date
space has been a special effort too. Next loa I will include even more
elements.
I will be making a loa calendar every Elven year from now on,
for as long as I am able to, with as many hand-drawn - with respect for
Elven Art - elements as my circumstances allow. I will do my best to
have a person continuing to do it after me.
Welcome
the new loa and yén!

July 2nd, 2016
Recently HarperCollins Publishers informed me
of their decision about the potential publishing of "Parma
Eldaliéva I" ("Tengwarin"). They praise my work ("undoubtedly a
true labour of love, and visually very striking") and appreciate its
quality, but they would not release it because "the number of people who
will be able to read it will be minuscule" and so, according to them,
"it fails in its functionality as a book". This places it out of their
scope of operations as book publishers and makes it unacceptable for a
release by them, even if it is "an interesting work of art and probably
deserves to be on display". While they think that there would be people
- the majority of those who would like to obtain it - who would regard
it as a beautiful object, they would not release it with them in mind as
doing so would be going too far from their usual book publishing. In
addition they expect that such an art book would be purchased by an
insufficient number of people for their usual scope of operations. Now I
will be looking for another publisher for my artworks.
The decision of HarperCollins about the five maps of the Parma
Eldaliéva project is also to not publish them despite the quality
of my work and the good opinion of the Tolkien Estate. The reason is, as
the publisher says, that they cannot publish the maps on their own.
Their decision about those has been pending since last spring when I
sent five map samples to them (glimpses of those are given at the end of
this post). It was considered related to their decision about "Parma
Eldaliéva I" whose printed copy took more time for me to finish
and send. The maps, as I learned only recently, have been presented to
the Tolkien Estate last summer and have been commented on very
favourably. The set has been in the keeping of a member of the Estate
ever since. My art book copy has not been presented to the Estate during
the publisher's consideration.
Now that I completed the first "Parma Eldaliéva" and
five maps I will continue working on the creation of the next Parma
Eldaliéva works including the next calligraphic art volumes (more
information about the next two of the six is available here). I will be doing
it to the best of my abilities, in the time that is given me, so that
the next artworks would exist in this world and be as beautiful and
wholesome as able for me to achieve. For that I truly need your support!
The work on Parma Eldaliéva is a full-time job as I want
to do it with the quality it needs and to complete it while my hands are
in their best working shape. I can say from years of experience that it
would be impossible to take another job that would pay for me doing the
work on Parma Eldaliéva and to simultaneously find the time to
focus and create the art itself, in a single lifetime, to produce
quality artwork, coherent and whole, in the amount and scope that is
needed. In order to create I need equipment, paying rent for space to
work and live in, materials, supplies, storage (physical and digital),
site support, ensuring my continuous physical existence and health, and
other things without which the work would be too slow despite all my
skill and dedication, or too limited and less than what I am fully
capable to create and what I feel the works that inspired me deserve.
I ask you with everything I am for your support for the Parma
Eldaliéva art creation!
You can make the successful completion of wholesome and beautiful Parma
Eldaliéva works possible! Donations via the Patreon campaign start
from 1 USD per month, and those who join it are completely free to quit
or rejoin at any time.
I appeal to those who cherish and love
the same inspiring, good things I cherish and love - and devote my
lifetime, labour and gift to. Your contributions matter greatly!

campaign or make a donation via the Paypal button here below.

It's a book!
I collected
the first two printed copies of the first "Parma Eldaliéva" from
the printing house on March 10th. The name of the printed art book is
"Tengwarin"~The Art of Elmenel.
The volumes on the photos are
554-page test copies. Each of them reproduces all my essential art on
"Parma Eldaliéva I" scaled down to about 70 pct the size of the
originals (the pages in these copies of "Tengwarin" are 30x21cm). The
next trial copies will include 10 more pages with additions and
information - with them the art album will have 564 pages. The covers
are still temporary and serve my work purposes; right now I need them as
they are only for trial & sample copies where I have to check the
quality of the pages and the general dimensions of the volume.
"Tengwarin" will perhaps be the name of the whole series of printed
versions of my "Parma Eldaliéva" art volumes. It is the name of
my art and more... But what else it means and stands for you will learn
later, on both this site and "Patreon". [Edit: The idea of having the titles of the printed
Parma Eldaliéva versions differ from the project names, or them to become
"Tengwarin",
was discarded in 2018. "Tengwarin" will remain a title
only of the first, 2016-2017 edition of Parma Eldaliéva I.]
I will continue
working on the completion of the next Tengwarin art "Parma
Eldaliéva" volumes (II & III) and on related art in the coming
months and years. I will appreciate your support for my art at www.patreon.com/Elmenel. I
hope that the present and future results of my labour and skill
(including your rewards on "Patreon") will be welcome!
All the
best!

Earlier this
month I submitted for my private test print the first printable art
volume of the "Parma Eldaliéva" project!
550 pages of
Elven calligraphic Art and natural, living hand flow!
Nothing
typed! (...Well, there are a few necessary for the volume typed
information pages before and after the 550 pages of pure Art...)
Here is a photo of the folded pages at home, where I have been
checking their arrangement before their binding and cutting (hence their
huge white margin). More information is available at the support campaign for my

Joy and relief for me, after so much
hard work on the development, art, design and pre-press of this art
volume!

Four more unique "Parma
Eldaliéva" 'Elven' works of art entered this world!
Recently I finished four more Tengwarin calligraphic art maps, which are
now added to the "Cantëa" one that was ready in November last year.
Among them is the other major map of the project, which I have been
calling "Nelya" as its original has been the third map of the series to
work on, starting with some initial spatial distribution & work on the
toponyms in 2011. The other three print version-ready maps to announce
are the first, second and fifth in the series ("Minya", "Tatya",
"Lempëa"). Every line I drew, every letter, word, and detail I
worked on have been carefully, lovingly and deliberately placed, so that
both each detail and the whole image it is part of become harmonious and
beautiful...

Happy Tolkien's birthday!
Here is a
drawing of J.R.R.Tolkien I did in 1998.
November 3, 2014
The first "Parma Eldaliéva" Elven
map of Middle-earth that is ready in a print version!
I refer to
it as "Parma Eldalieva: The Cantëa Map" as it is the fourth
('cantëa') of the "Parma Eldalieva" maps according to the order of
my work on those during the years. It is the second of the two largest
maps of the project. Due to various circumstances, it became the first
of them that has a print version.
To be fair, I am still getting used
to the fact that I have done it, and the map is next to me now, and is
good indeed... Even as it is a single map (and not yet a printed version
of the 560-page "Parma Eldaliéva I" volume which is placed not
far from it), when I look at it I see vindicated five years of my life
spent in determined labouring on the development of the scripts I used
for its making, of my hand and my skills in relation to them... I see
something like a testament (or better say part of the testament I have
been working on) of my deep love and respect for the works that inspired
me, of the Word, of innate Artistry and talents' development, of the
lifeblood and spirit-powered art of human hands, of the living letters
untouched by a marred world that surrounds our bodies, of the dreams,
hopes, rigorous practice, stubbornness, the steady evolution and
improvement - maturing, if you wish - of the hands I have been working
on... I look at it and I am thankful to God, and I feel gladness and
something akin to both profound relief and thrill about the next works
that I have in my mind and soul, which will benefit from the application
and further development of the acquired skills...
