Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - "The Yellow Face." Was fun to make a kid's scene, especially the little school desk. Clues include a twice-mended pipe, a mask, a glove, a check for £100, and a photo locket. #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #dollhouse #victorian

@shambhavi-batchick.bsky.social made me this amazing Calvin & Hobbies painting in exchange for a Portable #SherlockHolmes Mystery and i love it so much! I still relate to Calvin as a 48-yr old, and when we get the blanket fort moved and set up I'll post another pic for you! Thanks so much!!! ❤️❤️

I made a video tour of one of my recent Portable Sherlock Holmes Mysteries to show a little bit more about how they work. This is "The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone." Hope it's alright. #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #dollhouse #art

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - "A Scandal in Bohemia!" The painting on the wall opens to reveal a secret compartment where Adler stashed her photo and compromising letters, and Watson's smoke rocket is on the floor! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #fanart #victorian

A one-off Sherlock Holmes Advent calendar! Each day has an individual miniature clue, and I made a little pedestal on top for displaying the clue of the day. It was fun selecting the images. (Jeremy Brett is in there, @bluecheesier.bsky.social!) #sherlockholmes #miniatures #advent

Watson's Tin Box of evidence mentioned in THOR, made by request. I tried to make little, incidental items Watson might have saved, like a fishing lure from SHOS and the cylinder/note from GLOR. Used a real pocket book for the paper clues. #sherlockholmes #miniatures

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - "The Valley of Fear." I just focused on the part of the book which features Holmes. I enjoyed being able to add Watson's umbrella, ❤️ me some Watson! #SherlockHolmes #art #miniatures #fanart

My Watson and I just finished reading this together and it was delightful! The characters of Bertha Cool and Donald Lam are so fun, and the mysteries are nifty. Short and sweet. #booksky #mysteries

@hannahstohelit.bsky.social I already love that Reggie Fortune makes puppets - how fun would it be to make a puppet show series for his character? Make all the stuff one would need to put on a puppet show about the story...🤔🤔😁

"The Adventure of the Dying Detective" in miniature. Claimed by someone on Tumblr. Shame on Holmes for terrorizing Watson and Mrs. Hudson, but I love this story. #SherlockHolmes #art #miniatures #booksky #victorian #dollhouse

@hannahstohelit.bsky.social I made this playlist of suspenseful music from old movies to accompany cozy vintage mysteries and I thought I'd share it. It's instrumental so not distracting. ☺️ #booksky #mysteries #music #playlist

the telescope fish glides, its eyes like haunted lanterns bulging from its skull. Translucent, ghostly, it drifts through the midnight zone, 6,000 feet below, where pressure crushes bones to whispers. Its gaze, unnaturally forward, locks onto fleeting shadows—prey or phantoms, who can say?

What non- #SherlockHolmes stories/characters could I also make miniature? Some characters I've been thinking about are #SolarPons, #Raffles, #ArseneLupin, and #NeroWolfe, but I'm crowd-sourcing to get more ideas. Have any suggestions? #art #miniatures #mysteries #detective

Another enjoyable cozy mystery from Mignon Eberhart - she reads like a more well-written Agatha Christie to me, I've become quite a fan. #booksky #mysteries

Portable #SherlockHolmes Mystery - "The Man with the Twisted Lip" is complete, claimed by someone on Tumblr. I added Holmes's pillow fort on top, extra clues in the drawer at the bottom. Used some paper from 1901! #miniatures #art #hobbies #booksky #mysteries #crafting #neurospicy

Got the terraced bunks built in the opium den, the charcoal brazier and stool where Holmes sat will be in the middle. Nothing is glued yet, it still needs to be painted/detailed. Still available to a loving Sherlockian home! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #fanart #victorian

Portable #SherlockHolmes Mystery in progress - "The Man with the Twisted Lip." Opium den will be on the bottom, room where Neville disappeared up top. This is free for the taking! #miniatures #art #dollhouse #victorian

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - RDJ adaptation edition. This person wanted lots of plants! They still got a historic illustration, idc what their favorite version is, I can only go so far outside the canon! #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #dollhouse

My first 21st century #SherlockHolmes miniature is complete! Not much difference, really, except that modern binocular microscope - OOF! 😆 Made by request for someone on Tumblr. #miniatures #dollhouse #johnlock #sherlock #art #hyperfixation

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery in progress - my first scene from the BBC version. I'm presently layering in the clutter! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #johnlock

@cress221.bsky.social sent me these badass #SherlockHolmes radio drama cassettes in exchange for a box, and I'm very excited to listen to them (in the blanket fort, obvi, where all of my Holmes memorabilia goes!) Thank you!!

Finally got suckered into making a "Sherlock" box. Sigh...It's still 1895 in my heart, though! #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art

"The Adventure of the Three Students" is complete! The three suspects are represented at the top, the crime scene is at the bottom. My Watson said it was one of his favorites ☺️ #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #booksky #mysteries #victorian

In progress - "The Adventure of the Three Students." There will be a clue for each suspect in the boxes at the top, and the "crime scene" will be at the bottom. A window will be on the wall. #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #dollhouse #mysteries #booksky

Amazing Goodwill find!! What Sherlock Holmes story should I turn this Bible box into?? Wasn't there one where a Bible was used as the key for a cipher? #SherlockHolmes

"Blanched Soldier" in progress - I rigged up a light in the fireplace to recreate the scene where Dodd sees his beloved Godfrey's head through the window! I'm v excited about this! #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #dollhouse

Headphones stave off the relentless capitalist overstimulation of a trip to Walmart. I need cheesecake and super glue!!

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - Mega Box edition has been re-homed with @221bcooee.bsky.social! One clue from EVERY canon story! This was a fun challenge, and Matt is a lovely person! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art

Portable #SherlockHolmes Mystery - "Second Stain." I'm back at it after some Norwood Builder level depression. My Watson nursed me back to health, and I have FIVE box requests to keep me going. Holmes fans are the best people, fyi. #miniatures #art

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle! This was a request for someone on Tumblr, I loved decorating 221b for Christmas 😁 #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #booksky

I have NO REQUESTS for a box atm, so if anyone would like a free miniature version of their favorite #SherlockHolmes story, now is a good time! Just tell me the title, your favorite part, and any items from the story you would like me to make tiny for you!

Merry Xmas from Baker Street, lol. I consulted w my personal Watson and he agrees that the real Watson would have remembered a gift for Mrs Hudson. This person requested the goose. #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #literature #dollhouse

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - Honeymoon Hideout edition is complete for @readingwithgwen.bsky.social! This is the first box I've ever made off of one of my own fics, so I only had myself to curse for the details! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #pride

The stage is set for "Blue Carbuncle," by request from someone on Tumblr. Love this story so much, it has to be one of my favorites, and I get to decorate 221B for Christmas!! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #acd #literature #booksky

Completed my first Portable Raffles...Crime, I guess? It's based on the first Raffles story - he was a gentleman burglar character created by AC Doyle's brother-in-law, EW Hornung. An "inversion" (ahem) of Holmes and Watson. #raffles #miniatures #SherlockHolmes

Portable #SherlockHolmes Mystery - Mega-box edition for @221bcooee.bsky.social is COMPLETE! A fire-breathing hound, a curved Indian dagger, a track shoe, a coffin, a smoking lamp, a buoy, a dumbbell, a plaster bust, a cravat, and more! #miniatures #art

I am the guest speaker (talking about the Portable Mysteries) at the Oct. mtg of my scion society and have never done this sort of thing before. What would you like to hear me talk about if you were going to attend? Trying to figure out what interests ppl. Thanks! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures

My secret is that making these boxes is one of the only things that keeps anxiety away, so the worse the news is the more I usually work on them. Today was a ~10-hr day. But I'm only four clues from done!!! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures @221bcooee.bsky.social

Making hay while the sun shines today! A slate w/Greek writing, traced footprints, a cravat, an opium pipe, a monograph, a calling card, a note, and jottings on an envelope. @221bcooee.bsky.social #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #art #literature #victorian

#SherlockHolmes Mega-Box update for @221bcooee.bsky.social: a harpoon, a wax-stained hat, a lock of auburn hair, burnt bones & buttons, hidden documents, a broken crown, a wedding bouquet, a meat cleaver, and a ball of twine with a stick. #miniatures #dollhouse #art

Just hanging out in the carport at 4:30 in the morning, burning 100-yr old buttons and coyote toe bones like people do, creating a stench which would knock a buzzard off a corpse wagon... #SherlockHolmes @221bcooee.bsky.social

Had a minor burnout and finished up the other box, now ready to devote my full attention to the mega-box for @221bcooee.bsky.social. I'm halfway done, and look at all the space we have left in there! 🤞🤞 #sherlockholmes #miniatures

Honeymoon Hideout edition is almost ready for assembly! @readingwithgwen.bsky.social The coats & hats will hang on the wall as if on hooks. Wallets & gasogene on mantle. #sherlockholmes #miniatures #johnlock #art #lgbtq #pride

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - Honeymoon Hideout edition in progress for @readingwithgwen.bsky.social! My violins are slowly improving, and fixed my plate problem! #SherlockHolmes #miniatures #dollhouse #art #victorian #queer #lgbtq+ #pride

"Bohemian Rhapsody" in Zulu!!! #music #queen #covers

Proud to have finally made a candelabra which stands up on its own, but MAN - there must be an easier way!! (I still have to paint it, too, since I used beads) #miniatures #victorian

@221bcooee.bsky.social Here's everything so far, just for fun, except for "the woman"'s photo (still drying). We are doing good with space in the original box so far!!

Portable Sherlock Holmes Mystery - Mega Box edition in progress for @221bcooee.bsky.social! A photo of a beautiful woman, a sinister leather diary, a bee book, a wax seal knife, and a mournful silver cigarette case. #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #victorian
