Literal Writer's Block: Sherlock BBC edition

[ldhenson]

Just what it says on the tin.


Thumbnail:






Did this on a 1" solid wood block.





Been a while since I did one of these. This time around, I had fun experimenting with something other than decoupage (my usual method). It also meant that without paper edges I could sand the finished block all the way to 2000 grit, so it feels wonderfully smooth.

Credit where it's due: For the little icons I started with clip art from public domain sources, then modified them. Except the last one, which is mine.





And finally...





ETA: Block #2 and ordering info

If I gave you a laugh then my job here is done!

I did an image transfer onto the block. Took me quite a few tries and a lot of ruined images before I figured out how to get it to work consistently.

Past that I have to resort to saying "its magic!" :-)

There's a tagline in there somewhere. "Sherlock: Better than sex..."

How on Earth do you manage to come up with such cool things and produce them in such amazing detail?? Amazing as always!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you, this was a fun piece to design! The hard part was getting it down to just six sides.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Well for this one I did a transfer onto the block so there's no paper on this :-)

As for the cuttings, you're so sweet. I've only been doing these kinds of cuttings for a few weeks though...I'm just making it up as I go! But that's the fun part.
