Minimalist Sherlock prototypes, ASiP and TGG and deerstalkers

Prototype Minimalist Sherlock Posters, based on ofalexandra's brilliant Sherlock book covers, seen here.  She made some lovely designs that looked like they could be converted into cross stitch patterns without too much fuss.  The symbols she chose were so elegant, in that simple, clever way.  I've had a lot of fun with this.

ASiP


Tried using the actors names as in ofalexandra's originals, but the names looked a bit cramped so for version 2 I tried the producers...

TGG


'Moffat and Gatiss' are much shorter, so I can fit in a larger text size. Still need to figure out the ampersand...

Deerstalkers


And a few deerstalkers for kicks!  These will eventually be used in a "Keep Calm and Text Sherlock" sign.

I am trying to source proper colored fabric for this little project. Dove Stitch looks like a good option, but until then the colored-floss-on-white works well enough.
