Well Hello There!





So I'm back in Brooklyn after a week in Georgia. I had a fabulous time at the Decatur Book Festival. The highlight? Meeting blog regular EQ! Thanks so much for coming, EQ. You're every bit as dangerous as I expected you to be!

(By the way, I'll post a full list of my trips soon. And yes, I will be in Chicago in the near future!)

Now back to business. I've been meaning to post about the ring shown above. It was made from a copy of Sherlock Holmes! (Not sure which book, though.) Artist Jeremy May has been fashioning rings from a wide range of classic novels. (See them here.) Now if only I could get my hands on a Kiki Strike ring. (Which should come with a secret compartment for hiding poisons, small documents, or Liquid Roadkill.)

I just read The Eternal Ones! IT. IS. AWESOME. I LOVE IT!!! (Since it's a romance, that is high praise indeed. XD) Are you going to come to St. Louis???????

Erin_Flight said...

Hmm all the devious things I could do with a ring like that.

I know! And the liquid roadkill? Devious plots already starting to come to mind.....
MWAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks a bit bulky, but you gotta love secret compartments. Who do we request it from? The publishers? I bet we could get them to do something like that (or something else cool) if they thought it would help the publicity of bk 3 when it comes out.

...Of course, we could always resort to blackmail. I'm sure publishers have juicy secrets just like anyone else.

i looked at all the other rings, and they are amazing!! but how does one make a ring like that, anyways???

Kinga said...

That's awesome! A ring would come in handy.

Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, today my friends and I had an idea for a a kiddy TV show version of the stories, and the catch phrase of this juvenile equivalent would be "it's elementary school, my dear Watson" :)

I've been reading sHerlock holes all summer! I'm just having trouble with his possible death by narcotics. :(

I THINK MY HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
any Ghostbusters out there?

EQ said...

MushroomCloud: YES. I HATE how Sherlock is an addict, he's supposed to be so awesome--he's so smart and yet dumb enough to get hooked on opium... :'-(

Anonymus: by who? (/what) How do you know? And who needs Ghostbusters when you've got Irregulars?

ForresterVA said...

EQ;
They do. Ohoho, trust me. They do. Ultimate Blck mail plot beginning. Who's in?

EQ said...

ForresterVA: Count me in. Which publisher? And what is it?

Clare said...

Come North to VT!

They should make ones from shows. Except with necklaces. Like that glowing-magic-heart-necklace from Wizards of Waverly Place. Check out my blog all about the show at luvwowp.blogspot.com!
