Holmes for the Holiday Swap Gallery

Love the sher locked one, and the portrait is awesome, I'd use that in a room box, lol.

Great idea for the room box!
I've been doing so much research on dollhouses for my neice (christmas gifts...) that would be a perfect idea!

I love the resin jewelry!
@boywonder: did you use any of that "dimensional magic" for the bottle caps/portrait pieces?
How did you like working with it (if that is in fact what you used)?

So I received my package today, but I don't know who sent it! There was no name attached and even the address label was damaged so I couldn't read the name.

This was what I saw first                             

Good start good start. Then came this from inside


A great little tote bag, perfect for my Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books!
And who's on the front? Why, it's Sherlocke and John in adorable cross stitch


Thank you whoever you are! I love my package!

Happy Holidays ALL! Sorry I have been incommunicado but alas I have been super sick and ended up in the hospital! Just got release and I am back, ready for action!

Here is the wonderful package I received from Bunnie Boo on Monday. I had had a very bad day and coming home to this made the day for me.

This is the gorgeous card that came in the package. I have never been a chibi fan but Bunnie has converted me in the case of BC's Sherlock.

This is what tipped the balance, he is so cute. She said this was the original intended item but felt that since it was small it wasn't enough; as someone who does cross stitch I know the amount of work that goes into this and I love it.

So she made this to fill out the package. I love it and my family were all so pleased to see Basil (we all love the Great Mouse Detective). My husband especially loved the choice of fabric.

Thank you Bunny Boo, you not only made a bad day much better but gave me a fantastic Christmas present.

I love the penguin pillow and chibi Sherlock cross stitch. I just started and finished watching the shows. I'm upset I missed this swap.

Thanks!

I used dimensional magic for the portrait but the rest is either glass or epoxy stickers (which is what I used on the bottlecaps). I find that the epoxy stickers are perfect for the bottlecaps and they keep the images perfectly clear and protected. I order mine from beadaholique.com. I had some that I got from Michael's at one point and they were subpar at best.

I don't have a good place to use the mix and pour resin just yet. I don't want to hurt my animal friends and I am concerned that trying to use it indoors would be problematic. So those epoxy stickers work fantastically for now.

Basil? I love Basil! And I love that pillow
