Literal Writer's Block: Sherlock BBC edition

Just what it says on the tin.

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

Can you let me know when you put up a sales post? :D

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Glad you like! Sure, will probably get something posted to the comm in a few days.

If you're sure you want to order, I can reserve one (or some) for you. It will go for a couple more dollars than the older ones, just so you know, since this is an improved technique.

Yeah, sign me up! Is it just one, or is it two? Are you doing another set?

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

There's one. I may do a second, as one of the tricky bits was narrowing the choices down. But now that I figured out how to make these, it's tempting to do another :-)

Eee! Let me know! :D

Sure. Will put you down for one, and keep you updated when they are available and/or I do another.
