Today I took a detour from the shrines. I've always been drawn to architecture and doors so I was inspired to make one in clay. This piece is about 9 x 6 x 3/4 inches. A few years ago I took a photo of a door in Baja Mexico very similar to this one; it hangs in my studio. I did my best to show a flame in the gas light. I thought about adding steps, but I'll add some on the next door. I could make a hundred of these. I'm sure I won't make a hundred, but I'll make a few more with different styles. Every door is a possibility. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Love the door Linda-great detail!

ReplyDeleteWhen I went to New Mexico I noticed the doors! I fell in love with heavy old patina doors. Not to mention the adobe houses.... I need allot more lifetimes.
Sending Holiday Wishes!
