Since he was a little kid my husband has been a huge Sherlock Holmes fan; his books read until they were, quite literally, falling apart; the pages more holes than words. One year, for his birthday, I recycled the books he was about to throw out, bought him new and created this new piece. The original paper marquetry piece was handmade from recycled textured papers to emulate the fabric of Sherlock’s clothing and pipe and I incorporated part of a page from his old battered Sherlock Holmes novel for Holmes’ face; the whole character was slotted together to fit like a tightly fitting mosaic or tiled floor and inlaid into a background of olive burlap textured paper.

Artify your fridge, metal filing cabinets or magnetic notice boards with this slimline, flexible art magnet, reproduced from a miniaturisation of one of my original recycled and textured inlaid paper marquetry pieces featuring Sherlock Holmes. These magnets are super slim and very lightweight so whilst they won’t hold up tatty shopping lists and take away menus, they do make great miniature pieces of artwork for your fridge and, since they have an extremely low profile, they're not easily knocked off if someone brushes past the fridge/filing cabinet.
Ideal for: Anyone who loves Sherlock Holmes, detective stories, murder mysteries, reading books, London, travel, collects fridge magnets, art.
Each flexible art magnet is printed in the UK by an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified printing company on board with a rubber-free magnetic MagneCote coating, which is biodegradable. Each magnet is directly digitally printed, thereby avoiding the more traditional use of printing plates or photo chemicals. Flexible magnets ordered on this website will be supplied ‘naked’ without each magnet being enclosed in an individual protective sleeve, but any magnets in an order will be packed in a recyclable (PP5) polypropylene protective outer as a ‘pack’ to avoid them getting marked or wet in transit in the typical British weather that we enjoy or marking any other products in your order. This packaging will be kept to a minimum. Flexible magnets are shipped in a board backed envelope or postal box as appropriate and are not gift packaged.
