Dublin doors

My second entry on the PaperArtsy challenge entitled "Doors, Windows and Architecture". 

This one was inspired by a picture in a book of lots of doors photographed in Dublin.

I wanted to convey how transient our lives are and how life goes on and time passes quickly, often without us realising. 

I tried to portray how busy these houses must have been over time and how a photograph captures those precious moments. 

My work is busy, because that is how I see the passage of time for these doors and the many people that must have passed through them.

It reminds me of how precious our time is.

I began by attaching a sheet from some TH, stash, Wallflowers , and stamped some PaperArtsy faces onto the reverse of the cut off paper. I tore up the door pictures and  aged them and added some of the new TH paper dolls. 

The stamp which forms a frame is from HP 1601.

A few postage stamps and film negative complete my collage. 

I have tried to send the eye around the page, much like the circle of life! 

I really enjoyed this one! Thanks for looking!
