2025 Snowflake Challenge: Day 6: Canon

Challenge #6

Share your favourite piece of original canon.

I am going to attempt to start a Sunday Sherlock tradition (doing a post about Sherlock Holmes on Sundays).



So have a moodboard or two. And a favorite piece of Sherlock Holmes canon (meaning the original novels and short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle) is that there are a lot of Violets in it.



A collage or two (Holmes themed & Watson themed):



And the nice thing about Holmes canon is that there's always something new to learn. For example, I did not know that ACD was paid 25 pounds for A Study in Scarlet and that in the novel reprint in 1888 included drawings by ACD's father, Charles Doyle. Here's one of them:

Todo dia uma informação nova sobre Sherlock que me surpreende e me prende ao fandom. Violetas quem diria...

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Sim, ACD amava suas violetas! Sempre algo novo, eu concordo.

Tons lilases é minha cor favorita e já me apelidaram de Sherlock Holmes por ser muito investigadora, então estou apaixonada com a informação que a mim foi dada por você.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Ah, isso é legal. Estou muito feliz que você esteja gostando das minhas posts.

Tem sido um alento aos meus dias. Eu gosto bastante de Sherlock e quase não tenho contato com a obra original de ACD, só com algumas adaptações (Cumberbatch e Downey Jr, além de possivelmente House que foi inspirado na obra).

If you want to be a Watsonian heroine, call yourself Violet! Lovely mood board and collages.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Absolutely! Thank you!

I didn't know about Doyle senior's artistic inclinations! Wow. And the collages are great. :D

I love that mood board and those collages!

Your Sunday Sherlock series promises to be fun; I can't wait to see what's next!
