You ever had a sudden, inexplicable urge to do a project, and just had to get it out of your system?

In my case this week, it was matchboxes.

ETA: New photos with much truer colors. We had rain when I snapped the first set and the lighting was terrible.

Matchboxes were suddenly the greatest thing in the world. I have no idea why. At least I managed to put off the compulsion until the weekend. And then, you know, I turned it into a Sherlock Holmes thing.

As my projects go this one's pretty quick 'n' dirty so it's a bit rough. It still took a ridiculously long time to find just the right screencaps and light/size all the images properly, because even when it's a quick project, I'm still a doofus perfectionist about some things.

You've probably seen about half the images here in my other crafts. They're all from Victorian sources 1875-1890.

There's:
violin sheet music from Don Giovanni
a page from a chemistry book
a medical diagram of the heart ♥
a horse-racing schedule
a map of London, centered on Baker Street

The boxes are 1.5"x2". Blank template courtesy of Swap-bot.
