tweet Lyn Paolo on twitter. She's the costume designer on the show. She can tell you.
Thank you @Milaxx. I did what you said and got an answer from Lyn. I really appreciate your help. :)

Does anyone know where I can get this palmistry shirt that Annalise was wearing, or something similar?

I was a day worker on Elementary a few years ago, quinni224, and I have worked with Andrew Bernard on other projects.
Wow! That's so awesome Basil. :)

That is a fascinating artifact. I wonder if it could also have been an inspiration for the palantir in Lord of the Rings.
Thank you. It is indeed.
I haven't read/watched LOTR but comparing the Sphere of Destiny's purpose "staring into the dark depths of the crystal was supposed to reveal images of both the past and future" and my quick google search of the concept behind Palantír "used for both communication and as a means of seeing events in other parts of the world or in the distant past", I'd say you're probably on the right track too. This is so fascinating. :)-

You're welcome, quinni224, and thanks in return for the article on the Sphere of Destiny. I think you might be right regarding the crystal ball being a deliberate reference to Arthur Conan Doyle. It's one of the things I love about this show, the way they integrate canon references in the episodes. Also the way way they drop in odd little facts (the "Dutch reach", for example). I also really love their set design. Few people realise how much thought goes into such things. Reiter's paper lamp, for example, was supposedly originally rented, but had to be re-rented (or more likely, bought) when Elementary's pilot episode sold.
No worries at all. Thank you for agreeing with me about the Sphere of Destiny. :)
I too love the way they integrate canon references in the episodes and the fun facts. I always come away from watching an episode feeling smarter. ;)
Your knowledge on the set design is impressive. Where did you learn it all? -

I too found the personal scenes between Joan and Sherlock much more engaging than the case of the week. One of the things you take for granted on this show is that everyone should know Joan and Sherlock are - well, Joan and Sherlock. So when something like what happened with Joan's lawyer happens, you think "Doesn't he know who he's dealing with? You can't just dismiss Joan that way." We know it, Joan and Sherlock know it. Doesn't everyone else? I liked when she explained the situation to Sherlock, she said "We're us. It would be simple to break into his office and find the notes." It's kind of like they are super heroes and have secret identities the general public doesn't know about.
The case of the week was just too convoluted for me, and I've been having difficulty following them more and more this season. I also found that "incubus" weapon that sucks all the air out of your lungs and kills you especially disturbing and sick.
What do you mean by "finally?" Is this a character that's been mentioned before, or has he served some function in the books?
Has everyone else already noticed the crystal ball motif that runs though this show? I see so many of them sitting on the various desks of all the characters, from Gregson himself to the latest murder victim. What's up with that?
YES! Thank you iMonrey. I had noticed the crystal ball motif and then came across this forum while scouring the web to see what it was about. I am so glad I am not alone!
Amongst my research, I found this...http://www.studentsocculthistory.com/sphere-of-destiny.html...maybe this is the sneaky reference?

Also, thank you Basil for allaying my curiosities about the paper lamp prop too. :)

S01.E08: The Burial
in Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina
I know I'm super late to the party, but I finally have time to become obsessed with this series. I am fascinated by the props used throughout and in this episode in particular I loved this eyeball prop. I am trying to track down where it is from or if Alexandra Rojek had it created especially. Can anyone help?
