Actually, I have it ...Good Morning Miss Elizabeth!<br /><br />Actually, I have it on good authority that Mr. Horta is turning over in his grave...but not to worry, I'll do what I like, whatever he thinks! <br /><br />You know, I STILL haven't finished that crazy door. I have the shape and form issue all worked out, in fact, I had worked that out almost immediately after posting in July...(Aug, Sept....where has the time gone!). I love the new door shape, it solves the "problem" I was having, but I have these crazy ideas about how the windows should look, and have not yet been able to work through that. 'Course, I haven't spent much time trying either! We are, at least potentially, planning to sell our town home, and my artistic endeavors have now turned, temporarily, to real life design problems...(OK, really MAINTENANCE problems, but we won't quibble). So my mini Steampunk friends await my attention very patiently...probably more patiently than I do! I will get back to it eventually...I always do, but there has been a bit of an interruption!<br /><br />I love the way the windows and other architectural elements are reflected in the resin floor. I am actually very excited about this little room, because I think the final effect will be wonderful...much more in store! Come back in 2035, and maybe there will be enough progress to see a final result! :0) <br /><br />Thanks Elizabeth! <br /><br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-72902535341258195402015-09-11T09:50:40.051-07:002015-09-11T09:50:40.051-07:00Hi Doug!

Just Imagine, he wouldn't know the word, but I'm sure that he could easily identify the style as well as his influence, and he would be proud! :D<br />I love your windows and the graceful inserts which I had no idea were foam board. I would agree with you on the door though, and although I like the shape, it is the center bars that are throwing it off for me. They appear too rigid between the flowing lines of the windows. But I agree that often one has to let an idea "cook" for a bit in your brain before the right solution appears. <br />It is so interesting watching the development of this manor. The resin floor in the entry reflects the beautiful windows and now the stairs and if there are stairs, then there is also a second floor landing. You are certainly making progress Doug and I along with Victor Horta, I am giving you Two Thumbs Up, too! <br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-33205523608209327712015-07-06T05:20:43.946-07:002015-07-06T05:20:43.946-07:00Hi Giac!

We shall see! <br /><br />There are some great architects out there, but I have to say that I think Victor was a truly inspired artist. It is rare to see a perfect blend of architecture and artistry...he was able to carry that off. You know who he was, by seeing what he created. I think that is what art is all about...speaking visually. <br /><br />I thought the shapes of the "rejected" door were nice...but I just don't see them "flowing" in your words, with the windows. The balance just isn't right...so that idea for the doors, I am leaving on the drawing room table. I don't know how to explain it at all, but there is just this sense of what is "right" and what is "wrong" that I have, and this door came down on the "wrong" side. :0) <br /><br />I hope you will agree when I get it done that I made the right choice! <br /><br />Have a great week Giac. <br /><br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-85752361626023035402015-07-06T04:05:46.307-07:002015-07-06T04:05:46.307-07:00Hello Doug,

I don't think they need to be transferred on wood at all. they seem to be just the right thickness and your design flows beautifully. Well done! I think the door in the last picture looked quite good, but is just not quite grand enough for your project. <br />Big hug,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-60231340354101368402015-07-04T10:20:50.607-07:002015-07-04T10:20:50.607-07:00Hi Vivian!

You are right, now that you mention it, they do have the lyrical flow of music...totally a unintended consequence I assure you, but a happy one!<br /><br />A lot of the Art Nouveau architects aren't household names, the movement was short lived, and the architects who "did it well" were few. But Victor, in my opinion, was a true artist. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoy the posts...!<br /><br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-33405536751340645992015-07-04T09:03:35.374-07:002015-07-04T09:03:35.374-07:00Hi Doug

I had never heard of Victor Horta until now, but his works seems marvellous.<br />When I first saw your windows I thought how beautifully musical they look. The elegant flowing lines are always gorgeous, but 'music' was looking back at me! Lovely post as usual. So looking forward to seeing the front door now.<br />All the best and take care.<br />VivianVivian Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294995670302754968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-10609335132399954452015-07-03T16:17:49.346-07:002015-07-03T16:17:49.346-07:00Hi there Ersilia!

I work slowly, but pretty steadily, so like the Tortoise in the story of the Tortoise and the Hare, I eventually get there! <br /><br />I am hoping once I trim out the windows that all vestiges of the Foam Core will disappear. I do find it amazing what humble materials can be used to create interesting shapes. You know all about that. I am amazed at times what you create out of just a cardboard box! <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and leaving your thoughts!<br /><br />DougAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-17504182262504902372015-07-03T16:11:11.997-07:002015-07-03T16:11:11.997-07:00Hi there Pepper!

The bronze paint, and the fact that the whole thing is meant to look like metal, helps to legitimatize the look, so for the moment I am going with it. We'll see how it all comes out in the wash. <br /><br />Art Nouveau is a wonderful design style for those that like it. It's also one of those styles that people truly love or violently hate! I happen to love it myself, if you haven't been able to tell. :0) <br /><br />Glad you think I am capturing the spirit of the Nouveau look! At this point I am so interested in what my own outcomes will be on this facade...I have ideas, but I wonder if they'll be too over the top. Time will tell!<br /><br />Thanks Pepper!<br /><br />Doug Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788114419636217881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1395948001151366958.post-53648957894175009012015-07-03T15:46:58.822-07:002015-07-03T15:46:58.822-07:00Hi Doug!
