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

What she said:)

[sarazee.livejournal.com]

I totally want one! Looks like it'd be handy for Nanowrimo. :)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Haha, you're right!

I've had some requests for more of these so stay tuned...

[minzpyjama.livejournal.com]

AWWW I WANT THAT!!! REALLY THIS IS SUCH A CUTE AND GENIUS IDEA *__*

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Designing this was so much fun.

[curls.livejournal.com]

Very clever!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

I am giggling pretty hard here. So cute, and so true!

What method did you use this time?

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

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!" :-)

[baka-yu.livejournal.com]

That is awesome! I would very much like one of these! *_*

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I may have a sales post up in the next day or two...

[sciosophia.livejournal.com]

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

I want a Sherlock board game now. Your projects are always so fricking awesome. And the tiny details are so skillfully done.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the kind words!

I love board games. "Do not pass Forensics Lab, do not collect evidence."

better than sex dice, for sure :D

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

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

[sevenswells.livejournal.com]

This is a srsly kickass idea! °0°

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Haha, your icon.

This is an adorable idea! I love it! :)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

[quamquam20.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful! Love that last side :)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

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

[purplejulie95.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!
You really have a way with paper!
I want one of you to come teach me to do that wonderful paper cutting you've been doing lately. I'll feed you and take good care of you. :)

[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.

[gracefulfool.livejournal.com]

*flails* Holy cats, that's awesome! If you decide to sell these, I am in line - I need to add them to my set! You're amazing, as always. ;)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you, this was such a fun project!

I'll likely wind up making some more since people have expressed interest...For people who are very sure they want one, I can reserve some, since I can only make so many at once.

[tainry.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! "Blow off Mycroft"! XDDDD
<333

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

:-D :-D

Sorry Mycroft, please don't freeze my bank accounts or anything.

[mein-profil.livejournal.com]

Produce, produce! Sell, sell!!!! I would give you my last penny to have one!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Glad you like!

I'll likely be making some more of these, and if people are very sure they want one I can put some aside as reserved.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Oh, that really is LOVELY. I am constantly in awe of your work.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks very much!

[paperflower86.livejournal.com]

Totally brilliant as per usual. Man, I want a Sherlock board game, now...

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Hee, every once in a while I play around with the idea of making a board game for [insert favorite subject here]...I love the things. Maybe someday...

[sheima.livejournal.com]

Marvelous!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
