Frida Artist Trading Cards

I'm so excited to be participating in

Steph's "Women in Art" ATC swap.

Never having done any Frida tribute art

before, I chose her as my subject. 

It was important to me not to look at

any works paying tribute to her

before I began. 

I wanted what I created to

lack outside influences. 

Another thing I decided was to

just make an impression of her,

and not go for an actual likeness

(which is really simple to do). 

I used acrylic paint, colored pencils,

collage, pitt pens, and DMC thread.

They're all a little

different, but still

cohesive as a grouping. 

They were fun to create and

I enjoyed having an "assignment"

to work on. 

The link is up top if you'd like

to join in the fun. The deadline is

not until March. 

I'm one of those people

that don't like waiting until the

last minute. . . for doing anything.  

It's one of my husbands

favorite traits about me.

I'm always ready to go 

on a moments notice. 

Happy Weekend!
