Beautiful imagery, but I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the site navigation.

i'm a huge conlang fan. one of my favorite aspects of invented languages is the various new graphemes that people use to write their languages. Tapissary is one of the cooler looking ones I've seen.

It certainly is a graceful looking script. Is there a place to go for a glossary?

haikuku: this is the page to go to for the closest thing there is to a glossary.
