VERY HELPFUL: http://www.acondia.com/fonts/tengwar/index.html Go here, download the Quenya font pack, then within the downloaded file there is a pdf file called TengwarQuenya_Help.pdf which will give you plenty of info on transcribing into Tengwar from Quenya, Sindarin, and English.
You attempt is close, but not quite. I suggest changing three things:
1. The letter you used as an s is actually a z. The Tengwar form for an s is the same as a z, just without the extra loop the bottom.
2. To indicate two s's in a row, you need to add a line either under or in the middle of the s. (See the pdf file for more help on that.)
3. This isn't necessary if you're doing it letter by letter. But...the tengwa you used for the c actually is the sound of c as in cat, making your princess sound like prin-kes. Use the tengwa for s if you're doing it phonetically.
