Appreciating architectural details in Santa Fe can become a full-time occupation. My eye is always drawn to doors. The first two are on the front of the same house.
This wall and door provide privacy. When the greenery fills out in a few weeks the house will be completely obscured under its shade. I find the sunflower on blue tile very charming. There is a door knocker mid second row. I wonder if it really alerts the household.
Complete blue.
More blue — less security.
Nothing seems quite straight here. But the combination, including the crooked mail boxes, is so charming.
At first glance, this design may seem haphazard but I think it was carefully thought out. I particularly like the use of simple natural elements to create texture and privacy.
Love the photos. I took pictures of all kinds of gates and windows in Venice and Greece.
Ahhh, Europe. Another place to wander and take photos of doors. I still treasure the images David took of doors in Tallin.
Very interesting and lovely doors.
Great shots, Franki. One of my favorite places, Santa Fe, and I’m also a door lover. So intriguing on a lot of levels! Thanks for this little door tour.
Those are great. I love doors.
Franki – I think these doors could develop into a nice series of art quilts! – Denise
These are awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like this was a street lined with residents with a sense of humor! Fun to see, I bet. It was sure fun to see them on your blog.
I’m still “unpacking” all the photos I took so you can expect to see more doors! I loved them! Finally, I just had to say ‘enough.’
Your doors are wonderful, Franki, and I can see some quilts coming from them. Aileyn
I always have a heck of a time commenting on your site because the program makes me log into my wp.com account (and who remembers that), but I did want to say I loved your doors!! Sorry I didn’t see you much at the conference! Kris
Clearly, you aren’t blogging enough :). Stay tuned. . . more doors to come. And I’ll see you next week at the regional meeting.
Beautiful! I seem to remember some pieces in your radiator series that might be appropriate colors for these doors and walls.
Oh yes, indeed. First I have another project I’m thinking of for the fabric I have. More will be made though.
