My apologies for taking so long to comment on this - I've managed to friend you in the meantime, but not actually say anything, which is just plain rude.

There is just so much to love in these and well, they are so striking. I agree with most of the commenters that there is something ineffably charming about this Watson here, but at the same time, something about the composition and the climb of roses with Holmes always draws me back. Such motion both external to and within the line work. I adore the roses and the bees (Given how allergic I am to the latter, this is saying something) and the fact that they are clearly old fashioned. In some ways, they are very similar to the botanical designs my grandmother used to draw and ... well... on a very personal level it makes me love them all the more. Truly, I enjoy the beauty.

Oh, thanks so much for your detailed comment! Sorry I'm late, I just saw this!
I'm glad you like the bees even though you're allergic, I'm flattered I could make them look appealing to you nonetheless! ;)

I friended you back, if you don't mind?

I quite like bees and the idea of bees, it is just that they sadly do not like me at all. Oh well. Your bees are nice and safe ones! They are on a screen and so can't leap up and take a shot.

Of course I don't mind, although I don't think very much of interest goes on over at my neck of the woods! (Amusingly, I just wrote weeds.)
