ta Richi,always nice to get the heads up on what your working on,

oh,lol,cool i real like that little frank thing,

[monica]

well im,calling it a day,been along one,

got some done on this plus most of my gardening done as well,was ment to be

cold and rain,but oh no the sun had to come out,

have the base all sorted,with the stone work glued down on the wooded base,

so waiting for glues to set,

to save time and and messing about use an old fence board for the door so its already

naturally wreathed

and i think it looks quite good,

hope you like todays work,any comments welcome

That door looks amazing no doubt about that one!

the only thing I wonder it leads to another wall so why put a door in wenn there is a wall behind it??o_Oo_Oo_O

Never the less a beauty again Moni

Cheers Richi

Amazing work Monica , your walls and base look superb. and as for the door - it looks fantastic , great idea using an old weathered piece of wood . One thing i would add to the door though is a couple of diagonal braces between the ledges , rising upwards from the hinge side (in this case it would look like 2 'Z's one on top of the other if you get what I mean ) , not a criticism in any way , just me being a bit pedantic , Ex joiner you see !! Keep up the excellent work , cheers tony

ta Richi,do real appreciate the nice comments,and i think the doors worked well,

what i was trying to show other than just a black hole,was to have that back wall that is about,

50mm behind,the main wall in dark shadow,black with just a little highlight on the the right side,

and his shadow,had blocked all other light,

some what like in the pic below ,that type of look ?

but if you can think of some thing ,that i can try all ways open to idea,s

ta Tony glad your liking it as well and do real appreciate the help,I was not sure if it should

of had them or not,but that one is sorted ,

will add them in and post pic , to make sure its right lol,i get confused with stuff,lol,

always good to get help and advise with things,

Ok Moni, I will try, try to make the stones smaller in the door opening to create depth.

maybe the sides of the opening not under 90 degrees but at 70 degrees if you know what i mean.

tried to make a quick drawing maybe you can see what i mean

Cheers Richi

[monica]

yes yes Richi,I ran of and did some painting lol,

ta im glad you know what i mean,

the pic is what im trying to do,like in my pics,should be some thing simulaer

I know what you meant,and I,m not that good with words,

so hear is what i come up with,did a black band around half the death of the door,then just a base coat of gray on the inner stones,

down to the black band,

on the back stone wall did blue/black, to a lighter blueish,

Hey Monica, the 'monster' never was given a name! You'll have to give him one!

In the book he refers to himself, to Frankenstein, as "the Adam of your labours".

Loving your arch and door....very and most suitably gothic

Cheers

ta Steve,so glad your liking him ,the base work,,

oh real oh thats going to be hard one,as he is bits of tom,dick,harry and so on,lol,

I did see a doc,some time ago about this whole thing,it was a french doctor doing experiments

with galvanising with the body of a young man who had been hung the day before,and he wonted

a person in good shape,just cannot remember the lads name,because it would be fitting to him,
