This is a pair of doors that I did on commision for the 4 and 1-1/2 year old daughters of a friend of the family in Minnesota. Their mom wanted colorful, whimsical doors that matched the girls' rooms and personalities. From her comments, I think I nailed it. Looking forward to hearing about the girls reactions.
Both doors are built from balsa and hand painted. The hardware is all copper. The polka dot mushrooms are carved from modeling foam and hand painted. The stained glass windows are clear plastic with "Sharpie" lead work and colors.
Jill and I built the lights from some of her jewelry making baubles and bits.
These doors even have glow-in-the-dark fairy dust buried in the clear coat. You can see the swirls of it in this and the previous picture.
A shot from below showing the details carved into the bottoms of the mushrooms. I will post some pics after the fairies get the doors installed in their new homes.
