...Babs, glad to see you are back in the blogworld!<br /><br />Thanks Wim! The beach is not the best place for Ben. He gets very skittish so we havn't taken him again.<br /><br />Jo, as busy as a bee before Summer arrives!<br /><br />Barry, yes the dog is my big baby. He guards me with his life .... which can be a little daunting for those who just want to be my friend.<br /><br />Thanks Azirca. Ben IS cute ....though he is a big powerful chap.<br /><br />Fiona, :-) Thank you!<br /><br />Rossichka, the symbols on the door are not too mysterious. Actually I should have written a little about the symbolism. Maybe another post. It is 140cm x 65cm in size and is more of a decoration for the wall rather than a working door. You are right about the different smells in different studios. My outdoor "studio" smells of sawdust and flowers and sometimes woodfiller.<br /><br />Sharmon, the "door" will hang on the wall. To see larger photos and details go to my website by clicking on door, just above the door photo..... or <br />http://robyngordon.weebly.com/current.html<br /><br />Carla, thank you!<br /><br />HHnB, we like our hounds to be happy and content don't we?!<br /><br />India...... he is still in that position... another time ... another day :-)<br /><br />Thanks so much Soraya. Did you see all the great birthday photos floating about the internet? There's a beautiful one of Graca laughing at Nelson blowing out his birthday candles.<br /><br />Kim, once you've had a bully you always want another.

Everything! absolutely...everything...the sun, the tree, the colors and form, the earthiness and poetry, the sheer delight in looking at it, the symbolism and structures, the metal and wood. It is ...just magic. I can see why you are "at full tilt, singing as you go"...I would be too:) LOVE!!!<br />I thought of you today as it is Mandela's 93rd birthday. Of course now, everytime I see or hear anything about S.A. I think of you. So glad you treated yourself to a plate and visit to the art studio..you have been working hard. So glad you are back at blogging though:) xxxsoraya nulliahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163510829390285349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-30726156281036508352011-07-18T04:52:32.513-07:002011-07-18T04:52:32.513-07:00i want to be doing what that dog is doing...i want to be doing what that dog is doing...india flinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510066677833871579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-61100138135090607282011-07-17T23:31:33.276-07:002011-07-17T23:31:33.276-07:00PS. it also says 'oh look at that happy, conte...PS. it also says 'oh look at that happy, contented hound!'herhimnbrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182397064631016552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-35178174273435759072011-07-17T23:30:29.811-07:002011-07-17T23:30:29.811-07:00Oh this post sings to me!

Your door is so stunning; is someone really going to use this a DOOR? I would have it hung up on my living room wall, never to risk it being hit by a drop of water. I think I would have to give up keeping my eyes on the person who's speaking while in that shop. I'd just have to say, (as I do to my husband) "Yes, I'm listening, go on...", only I really would be listening-lol! Those ceramic pieces are scrumptious- LOVE the bowl by your friend Catherine.

I just wonder how tall is the door and what wood it was made from?:)<br />I like pottery and ceramics, so thanks for the links, leading to such beautiful places and talented people (Clementina's blog is so interesting)!<br />I imagine how one feels in this studio - enchanted and lost among forms, colours, intriguing objects... I suppose that even the air there is different (like the smell on the stages of some theatres!)...<br />I hope you are going to post more often, be healthy and happy!:-)rossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-7334002681294873282011-07-17T03:44:16.355-07:002011-07-17T03:44:16.355-07:00A wonderful door Robyn - I love all the rusty elem...A wonderful door Robyn - I love all the rusty elements; and as ever, it is so beautifully balanced.
