Collage by Honi

There is something mysterious about a closed door, and sometimes, something of interest to be seen while looking through an open door.

Participants in this exchange have the option of portraying either.

I had a lot of fun creating these collages (and many more) for a small group challenge years ago.  The online search for DOORS images led in so many directions around the world!!!

Two Doors, Open - by Honi - As you see,
I like to play with words, too.

Participants, make 1 - 4 post cards to be exchanged with your swap partners' art.  You may choose any colors, materials (mailable please), any medium or technique to convey your interpretation of the "DOORS" theme.

There are many ways to achieve the "door" effect.  Paper folds, flaps, two-layered doors, or paper "hinges"allow you to hide a scene or secret inside.. I used scrapbooking metal brads for door knobs...  There are scrapbooking hinges but- Please allow for nonmachinable postage if your art gets thick.
