Sherlock Holmes 2 Fore-edge painting
"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
- Sir Arthur Conan DoyleI hope I can stimulate you to fall in love with reading and giving this book a new home. I found an old copy of this book with the cover and edges worn. And so, I began to revive it for the next detective mind to dive into its mysteries. I painted the fore-edge with a portrait of Benedict Cumberbatch who plays the titular role in the iconic BBC show, Sherlock. I then bound the timeless classic with a hard cover and a lovely blue cotton fabric. The book is now restored and 'the game afoot'.
📘 Volume 1 also available on my shop.
This is Volume 2 of a 2 part series of the complete novels of Sherlock Holmes. The pre-loved paperback book has been hand painted and rebound into a fabric hardcover.
The decorated edges are lightly coated by fixative to protect the paint. The pages can be opened to read. A gentle reminder that it is primarily a work of art. It is best to place the book away from direct sunlight and water. Colours may vary a little from the photographs due to different screens and monitors.
