Ladies and gentlemen, my second tutorial of the week is live!
I created this poster inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and I'm walking you through the process step by step:
The piece is somewhat of an homage to the character of Sherlock Holmes. I've long been fascinated by the almost mystical brain power of the guy, able to formulate an often correct hypothesis on the course of past events, based on the most minute of details.
(...)
The piece came to be after seeing a picture of the heroes of the BBC's version of Sherlock Holmes in Victorian-era costumes.
I LOVE the BBC's show, don't get me wrong, but Sherlock is born in the 1800s, and the two films with Robert Downey Jr. as the main character are also very, very good.
A bit after seeing that photo, I came across this beautiful vintage engraving of a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass has also long been an icon for the sleuth, along with his peculiar hat."
The tutorial also includes some freebies (the vintage geometrical diagrams, a color palette I created, and the magnifier engraving).
Finally, all of the textures used in the piece come from The Shop's collection, and it just happens that they are all available as a bundle! You should go grab this deal while it lasts, because this is obviously something that isn't going to happen again anytime soon once it'll be over.
I hope you'll like following along as much as I had fun writing this one.
See what you will, but I dare you not to find any imaginary being of some sort or other...I see two souls in search of connection in the afterlife.

As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted teepee
Oh I went to see my chieftain with my war lance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine
And now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be slowly crushed
What kind of words are these to hear
From Yellow Dog whom white man fears
I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run
Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands
I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead
He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead
Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields without the sound of guns
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole
Last week was a very difficult week for my husband and I. Running out of unempoyment benefits, unsure where we would be living in a few weeks and all that it entails. We stuck together, and I made this little photo to make him feel better. It was just a goofy little idea, and writing on your own fingers isnt easy, but I think it came out just fine for a rough draft. I will redo it later but I wanted share the thought asap. This week we have much better prospects as he was offered a job on Monday. Pays to hold together during tough times.
Première séance du conseil municipal de la municipalité de la paroisse de Saint-Martin. On y élit le premier maire, André-Benjamin Papineau. Ce dernier, le cousin de Louis-Joseph Papineau, occupe la fonction de député du comté de Terrebonne au sein du Parti patriote en 1837. La même année, il participe à la dernière bataille des patriotes à Saint-Eustache. En 1838, après trois mois d’emprisonnement, il s’établit à Saint-Martin pour y exercer le notariat.

Not the most artistic shot of a book in the history of photography; possibly even only of interest to the three people whose writing is captured here. This is a page of the hut register from Lakes of the Clouds AMC Hut, below Mount Washington, from August 5th, 1992.
Most of the campsites, huts, and shelters along the Appalachian Trail have hiker registers: anything from a regular lined notebook up to nice, hardbound journals, for the hikers to sign in with date and time. The idea is rooted in being able to find missing hikers: seeing what shelters they’ve signed in at, and when, can provide important clues to searchers. For people doing long-distance hiking, though, they also serve other purposes: confessionals, places to record milestones, places to leave messages (or taunts) to other long-distance hikers you’ve met or heard of, and so on. At most of the smaller facilities, the old registers are usually just collected by the shelter maintainer, or possibly mailed back to whoever left the blank pages. If there are archives, they’re small and largely unknown. But at the AMC huts, they get kept in the hut’s library.
So, when I stopped in to have a seat and a snack, I went to see if I could track down my own entry in the register from my thru-hike in 1992 (I had tried, and failed, to find my own entry at Mizpah Spring Hut the day before). This is my entry, and the entry of my two hiking partners. We were collectively known as “The Falling Rock Patrol” on the trail (most thru-hikers end up with “trail names”). I’m the topmost one, followed by my friend Tom, followed by my friend Peter. You can see we had other odd names there to distinguish ourselves, although no one ever called us by those names. The names are in Lenni Lenape, and were given to us when each of us was presented the Vigil honor in Boy Scouting: mine, “Meschatamen”, means “He Who Remembers”; Tom’s is “Gunequot”, or “Tall One”, and Peter’s is Nachgohomen, or “He Who Sings”.
I make a mention of us “slackpacking southbound”. We were hiking notch-to-notch, with only day gear, for this stretch and staying with Tom’s parents in Lincoln, New Hampshire at night (as I mentioned on another photo, it can be tough to find legal places to camp in the Whites without blowing your budget when thru-hiking). Hiking without your full pack, for a thru-hiker in ’92, was known as “slackpacking”. As we had all done Mount Washington on multiple occasions before our thru-hike, we actually hiked down Washington twice, so on this stretch we went south.
The little bowling-pin looking things near our signatures are juggling clubs; we carried juggling clubs the entire trip, and did on occasion weasel food (“yogi-ing”, in Thru-Hiker, after the venerable and smarter-than-average bear) out of people by juggling in towns.
And, yes, Falling Rocks do go “thud”.
This song has been stuck in my head all night (Teenage Dream by Katy Perry). Katy has been doing some really good songs recently, i'm loving her music!
Hehe, i love writing random little notes.
I love little notepads.
I love sharpie.
And love having paint on my nails ^.
That about sums up this picture.
Don't worry, i'll be having some more creativity the next couple days!

The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I.
The Limited Edition collection honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Aztec culture, and the influence of one of its great leaders, Moctezuma I.
Every spring since 1992, Montblanc introduces the Patron of Art pen collection which pays tribute to those who exemplify the importance of art patronage throughout the world. The stellar names include Peggy Guggenheim, Pope Julius II and the latest being Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus. The Homage to Hadrian pen collection features gold-coated cones and cap tops, a reflection of the Roman buildings commissioned by Hadrian. This year’s Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I continues to be a fantastic example of Montblanc’s expertise in pen making.
Moctezuma I (1398-1469) also known as Moctezuma Ilhuicamina was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1440 to 1469. Under his reign, Tenochtitlan, which is now the center of Mexico City, blossomed thanks to social, economical and political reforms. The limited edition designs are released as part of the Patron of Art Homage that honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Moctezuma I. To coincide with the release of the Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Editions, Montblanc is introducing a fine stationery notebook in red calfskin Saffiano leather embossed with traditional Aztec motifs.
The latest Montblanc Patron of the Art Limited Edition 2020 collection is their Ode to Moctezuma 1 the ruler, who has shaped the image of Aztec culture and remains a great inspiration to write our own legacy. I really hope that the glyphs that are on the side of the fountain pen were chosen for their content and not just for an artistic flair. Contacting a Mayan scholar such as Floyd G Lounsbury would have upgraded their end product. I will try to locate and contact his colleagues to spread the word as they should have sufficiently deep pockets to drop the penny. Limited to 87 pieces.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Lounsbury
Beginning in 1938 with his contributions to the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Oneida Language and Folklore Project, while he was still an undergraduate, Floyd Lounsbury sustained a lifelong interest in indigenous languages—especially those, such as Oneida and Cherokee, in the Iroquoian family. His doctoral dissertation, published in 1953 as Oneida Verb Morphology, remains to this day the scholar’s bible for the basic structure and terminology of Iroquoian languages.
Iroquoian linguistics was not, however, Lounsbury’s only academic focus. He worked in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition; he refined new ways to teach linguistics, particularly with respect to field methods; he critiqued lexicostatistics and glottochronology; he wrote on the psychology of language; and he published on the history of anthropology. He was one of the most sought-after and influential anthropological linguists of his time.
Born and raised in Wisconsin farming communities, Lounsbury enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1932. He took nearly a decade to complete his undergraduate program because of the Great Depression’s economic necessities, but the extended period also allowed him to come in contact with a wide array of linguists and anthropologists and to adopt a thoughtful and measured approach to undergraduate education. Lounsbury majored in mathematics but also studied languages—primarily German but also Latin, Greek, Scandinavian languages, and Old Irish—along with phonetics, phonology, philology, and emerging theories of structuralist linguistics. After receiving his Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale University in 1949, Lounsbury accepted an appointment to its Department of Anthropology and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1979. Whether in classes, conferences, workshops, or personal conversation, Lounsbury’s students and colleagues considered him ever humble, generous, and insightful, with a prodigious memory for detail, a wide-ranging curiosity, and a formidable intellect.

Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810. USD$13,000.00
Limited to 87 pieces.
www.montblanc.com/en-ca/collection/writing-instruments/pa...
Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – one rich in culture and mythology. The capital city of Tenochtitlán, today’s Mexico City, blossomed under his rule. The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-tone gold-coated fittings is dedicated to this supreme ruler of one of the most special cultures in world history. The overall design is inspired by an "atlatl", an Aztec spear-throwing device. The shape of the cone, refined with a hammer finish, is based on an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer colors – petrol and carmine red – are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. Two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of Moctezuma I's reign. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two scrolls.
Features
Clip: Champagne-tone gold-coated clip
Barrel: Red lacquered barrel
Cap: Pattern on cap underneath translucent petrol lacquer
NIB: Handcrafted Au 750 / 18 K solid gold, champagne-tone gold-coated nib with special design.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 8
This edition, which comprises just eight pieces, is all about the pageantry of Moctezuma I and the Templo Mayor. The pen features an 18-karat champagne-tone gold cap whose elongated shape is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multi-coloured sapphires. It is also decorated with a hand engraving of the winged Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs.
Three-dimensional engravings of an eagle and cactus represent the foundation myth of the Aztec capital, while the two double-headed snakes symbolize renewal, fertility and luck. The spear-shaped clip is embellished with a triangular-cut green jade, and the cap crown sparkles with a Montblanc diamond. The barrel of the writing instrument is made of dark red jasper, with 18-karat champagne-tone gold inlays.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 - 2020
This version is limited to just 87 pieces in homage to 1987, the year when the Templo Mayor was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 employs turquoise, which is a familiar stone used in Aztec decoration, and Central American cocobolo wood, a reference to the material used to make the traditional atlatl.
The mosaic is handcrafted, making every one of the pieces in the edition unique. The mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem is embedded in an engraving of a traditional Aztec sun disc on the cap crown.
The handcrafted 18-karat gold gold nib is engraved with a glyph denoting the heart, a symbol of sacrifice. A further glyph engraved represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina (meaning, “He who shoots an arrow into the sky.”).
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 888
The colors of this edition–turquoise and carmine–were used in fashioning royal garments. The sterling silver pen cap is artfully engraved with a traditional Aztec décor, and the lacquered barrel is engraved with a pattern again reminiscent of Moctezuma I’s cloak. It features four lines in 18-karat champagne-tone gold, evoking the directions that radiated from the Templo Mayor, the main temple and the literal center of the Aztec world.
The spear-shaped clip features an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, and it is set with a triangular-cut green jade. The forepart of the writing instrument and the cone are crafted from sterling silver, contrasting with the 18-karat champagne-tone gold fittings and the handcrafted solid gold nib. The Montblanc emblem, made of mother-of-pearl, is embedded in the engraving of an Aztec sun disk.
On. The right: Montblanc 888 Edition estimate C$3-4,000.00 plus tax.
I really want to make this poem, I love it's rhythm and I love how proud Bilbo is about him writing it! It just has a wonderful restrained majesty about it that is sooo Aragorn!
Hoping the lay-out is well balanced. You've no idea what I've gone through as an entirely visual person with appalling maths to put this thing together! After fiddling around I ended up printing out each line on a graph my son made up for me on the computer and then printing it, cutting it out and sticking it onto an enormous sheet of graph paper I stuck together...mostly by eye. Goodness knows when I'll get the courage to even attempt this :)
