Mombasa door paper cuts

In Mombasa and along the East African coast (Lamu, Zanzibar) there are some beautiful old doors in historic buildings and museums. We saw the following doors and carved artifacts at Fort Jesus when we visited in November.  The fort itself was occupied by Portuguese, Arab, and British, and finally Kenyan people over the last 400 years, and many of the artifacts in the museum came from an 18th century (I think) merchant ship that was recovered near the port. 

I loved these items - I'm not sure why I gravitate toward them so much, but something about the wood being carved with the combination of organic and geometric patterns - something I've always really liked.  Since you can't really bring home a door, I took a bunch of pictures with the idea that  would create some original art - not wood carving, but the next closest thing - paper cutting! 
So I studied the pictures, sketched the individual elements that repeat in patterns, and came up with these:

Design 1:

Design 2:

Design 3:

I still need to give them some backing/matting/framing - I'm thinking a really dark brown or black behind them so it is reminiscent of the original wood carving, and maybe a simple black frame.  And since this post is mostly for my mom, who inspired me to make my own papercuts ... mom, what do you think?
