Russian Sherlock Holmes pendant.
My little tribute to the wonderful Russian adaptation of Sherlock Holmes (Приключения Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона). It's even interactive!
Thumbnail:
For this one, I wanted a design specific to the series. A photo would've been the most direct way, but I tend not to wear photos of people very often (for instance, much as I love this pendant, it spends more time hanging over my desk than around my neck). I thought about just quoting lines in Russian, but I wanted something a little more image-based.
Then I hit on it:
If you've seen the series, this will look familiar. In fact, to get it I modified a few screencaps from the credits of "Знакомство." It's a random jumble of letters...or is it?
Fortunately there's a second panel in the back:
Flip it up and over to the front:
And now it reads "Х и В" (or in English, "H and W"). There you go, the opening credits in a nutshell.
The tile is 1.75" tall, not including the loops.
Mystery solved!
