MI6 Tinies: J is for James by Amy Crook

MI6 Tinies: J is for James by Amy Crook

As promised, here’s the second of my MI6 Tinies. James is falling into the same trap as “Z is for Zillah,” though he’s at least using proper martini glasses instead of a teapot for his gin. Gorey’s ubiquitous black doll also makes a guest appearance, spreading its ill omen along with the display of finer spirits.

These two are a commission, but you can acquire them printed on a lovely 2-card set at my Etsy shop.

Q is for Quartermaster

MI6 Tinies: Q is for Quartermaster by Amy Crook

MI6 Tinies: Q is for Quartermaster by Amy Crook

The wonderful patron who commissioned most of my Baker Street Tinies knitted me the most amazing shawl, and one of the things she requested in trade for it was a pair of MI6 Tinies.

This time I’ve crossed the world of James Bond over with Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies. The new Q from Skyfall appears in a parody of “Y is for Yorick” except instead of a column of stone it’s a tall tower of servers teetering and about to fall on his head.

Don’t worry, 007 will get his on Wednesday! These two are a commission, but you can acquire them printed on a lovely 2-card set at my Etsy shop.
