This quote would not leave my mind until I had made this thing.
Bless the thing.

“Your street hawker’s job was to do away with you, under certain contingency.”
“And you let Moriarty go because of me?”

Last weekend, I was able to go to 221B Con in Atlanta, thanks to the unbelievable fortune of living just 20 minutes from the host hotel! Here is Lauren and I as Nigel Bruce’s Watson and Basil Rathbone’s Holmes (using the pre-instagram “shitty photoshop skills” technique to make it a little old-timier.)
This was our first time cosplaying anything, so thanks to everybody there for being not only tolerant of our newbie skillz, but super encouraging and welcoming! I’m gonna write up a bigger 221B Con post later with pictures of some awesome people we saw, but here’s us!
P.S. This is the only non-blurry-iPhone picture we have (bad planning), so if you happened to take a picture of us at the con, we’d be thrilled to see it!
Adorable.
