Great, and very readable. Normally, I’d honor such a work with a detailed analysis of the spelling, but that might be a bit over the top since you have said you were writing “with minimal Tecendil usage”.
Only this: The form you have chosen for the tengwa hwesta sindarinwa looks virtually identical to aha. In such a Spencerian-inspired hand as yours, a more distinct model for hwesta sindarinwa might be the one seen in DTS 37 - The Two Towers Jacket, which looks somewhat similar to a looped pound sign with the loop the same size as a regular lúva and without the crossbar.
Thank you ! That website is going to be a fun rabbit hole. Your suggestions are a great help, because I was definitely struggling with the hwesta sindarinwa and the book example you gave helped me see the shape more clearly. The pound sign is a great suggestion and one I haven’t played around with before.
