This week the
Sunday Postcard Art theme is Doors. I'm quite a fan of old doors and have lots of photo's so was mildly tempted to try some digital art, however since I love to play with paint and glue I decided to stay with mixed media. If you would like to see the video of it being made, it's
Here and is approx 11 mins.

I'm really happy with the way the faux wood planks turned out and the 'brass' heads to the screws. You can barely see from the photo above but there is a strip of copper at the base of the door treated with verdigris paint. I bought the copper strip from a garden centre, it's designed to keep snails out of plant pots!
The door handle (ring type thing) was originally holding two little keys. One of the little keys is now hanging from the birds beak.
Once again, I had a great time doing this and loved every minute.
