2.17.2016 - San Antonio Concepcion Mission

Still as working church, this mission was gorgeous - I especially loved the artistry in small details.  The Moorish influence shown in the arches and keys,  clean lines and tilework... very nice - so much so that at times I felt transported back in time.  

How's this for a very cool set of door hardware? I make my ear wires much the same manner as the handle's curl.  Very nice.  Most perplexing for me were the door hinges.  I assume they were the semblance of two eye screws... but knowing how hard it can be to open a jumpring made from 14ga sterling... how do you suppose the hinges were put onto the doors?  Certainly not opening the rings and inserting then closing the ring... very cool.
