What I made of the yesterday's inspiration...

This is the side of the door you all know by now;)(just to recall ;))
For the other side of the door, here is what I used:
(And a bit of glue of course;)) The cardboard is thiner this time so it was easy to cut:) The pattern just jumped out of my head straight on the paper ;) Also easy to cut - as I am lazy - remember?;) I cut this pattern four times and glued two together so that the hinges were a bit thicker. Except for the big parts you see above I cut also four smaller/narrower parts just to make door looking more interesting. The narrow parts are supposed to resemble the snakes :) The nails in their heads are supposed to be their eyes and are made of the smallest black Svarovski gems I could find - I used them also to cover the holes after the original hinges ;) And here you can see the floor right in front of the door.

To finish the door I need just one more thing...

Klamka czy może gałka jeszcze została! Bardzo mi się podoba jak "zużyłaś" drzwi!

Thanks so much Ira!The snakes will probably appear like you skeletons here and there;)

Dzięki serdeczne Zosiu! Tak, zdecydowanie tego brakuje, choć pewnie będzie to raczej jakiś uchwyt niż klamka. W każdym razie coś innego niż w środku ;)

Muchas gracias Ascension. No, it is neither the key nor the lock, they both are inside the office :) It is kind of la picaporte :) Besitos!

Your hinges certainly do NOT look like paper!
They are wonderful and very creative!

Hi, I recently joined your list of followers and today read your blog in one go, so I'm up to date with your project. Very interesting and I will keep following for a while to come. Love what you have done with your door too! And those bricks are a very good idea. One of my sons used them in the past. Must ask what he's done with them.... :-) I think I could put them to good use after reading this. Cheers

Ewa, I like your door very much :). Love the red and how you have "weathered " the edges especially. Your door look strong and sturdy, I can almost hear it creaking.
