This custom shop door of a pet supply store in the Madrona neighborhood echos the graphics of the shop's sign. Dog bone shapes are cut out of iron mesh in the upper portion while a painted metal girl tossing a stick to a running dog adorn the diagnol iron bars of the bottom. I love seeing this much thought given to artistic expression, using the talent of local artisans to make something truly unique and with a sense of place.

Leapin' Lizards! I thought at first this was Annie, but she's got eyeballs. Nice for a pet shop!
Creative and attentive, Kim. I love those dog bone shaped details. The characters remind me a bit of Tin Tin, though a female version, bien sur!
Make that 'Tintin'!
The girl and the dog remind of Jane and Spot from the 1950s/60s books we used in school to learn to read. This is a terrific catch...or perhaps I should say 'fetch'.
The girl and doggie panels definitely added character to the door. And how appropriate for a pet supply store.
Run Spot run. See Jane run!
Great great door!!!

I love the dog bone. It is an illusion too. Run Annie and Sandy. MB
Great doorway post. It looks like Annie and spot were added as an afterthought to the door, but it is still eyecatching.
Kim,
Yes, I heard the video and liked it very much. THanks so much.
What an interesting photo and a great shot. I love the angle from which you've taken this. They look as if they are running towards us. I'd not have thought of that. More learning from Professor Kim! Thanks.
