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 morning cuppa, workplace brew or evening tipple! This glossy hardboard coaster has been reproduced from one of my original recycled and textured inlaid paper marquetry pieces featuring Sherlock Holmes. Inspired from what I see in my garden, on my field work, travels and from life experiences, I work only from photographs that I have taken or sketches that I have made in the field. This coaster will withstand the hottest of brews or the coldest of cocktails and is easy to care for; simply wipe it clean with a cloth.
Ideal for: Anyone who loves Sherlock Holmes, detective stories, murder mysteries, reading books, London, travel, collecting coasters, art.
