ldhensonWhen the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie came out, I did a set of customizable text pendants. Now for Sherlock 2010 I wanted to do something similar, but give it a contemporary twist.
I've had this idea for weeks, but it was only last night that I found the right size drill, and...
Preview:
I love that Sherlock loves his chemistry, so I used real screw-top test tubes (the plastic variety). I drilled holes in the caps so that I could hang them.
It holds tiny things like tic-tacs quite nicely :-)
I distressed the labels a little--after all labs are hardly pristine!
I nestled a little glass bead in the cap for a spot of color.
Tubes and caps, not counting the hanging loop/clasp, are slightly over 4.5 cm long.

Alas, I don't think there's an appropriate quote anyway for a bottle to contain things what do not do anything interesting to my brain except stop me being in too much pain to think. (I hate arthritis.)

Date: 2010-10-25 02:00 pm (UTC)If you start up commissions on the older variety (digging the aged-paper look), I'd be very interested in at least one. If I could afford it, I'd have you come do my walls like that, omg. GORGEOUS.
