Sue’s door
To make my card I used As soon as I saw this photo I thought of my uncle. When we were children my uncle would play and sing Behind the Green Door on the piano,it was the only thing he could play. I made this card in his memory. The door opens to show a magicians hat , a white rabbit, a magic wand and of course some music notes. My uncle was a Magician, he practiced all of his tricks with us, he had the rabbits ,the white mice etc.
I made fabric slips with chocolate wrappers (I did have to eat a few), black netting, and a few bits of thread and used these for the wall. The door was made from an easter egg wrapper covered with green cheesecloth to give some texture, I machine stitched these pieces. The door frame was made using machine wrapped cord, I used some metallic threads to give some texture.The inside was a pice of tea dyed fabric with surface stitching of the rabbit , hat , and music notes and the wand was a piece of wrapped wire, of course all Magicians need stars.
