WoW ! I loved this swap. I wasn't familiar with Frida or her art and it was very interesting to study and learn about her life and art.
The color , passion and pain in her artwork is so interesting. I think I can relate with her artwork because I've had my share of pain. I was in a serious work related accident many years ago and deal with the emotional effects everyday. I don't dwell on what happened , but seeing her art made me understand what she is saying through her artwork. It may seem very dark to some people , but they were her life experiences.
The 4x4 portrait was done by Judie MacawHead , I think she did a wonderful job.
Judie , Would that be Mz. Wee on your shoulder ?
I'm also posting the backside of this portrait , just look at what Judie did.
So colorful and wonderful !
My ATC was created by Kai , it's lovely too. Ms. Kai did a very glittery Frida.
I tried to take a photo of backside of the ATC , but I kept getting a glare.
This is what it said on back .... "
I drank to drown my Pain ,
but the damned Pain
learned how to swim
and now I overwhelmed
by this decent and good

I LOVE FRIDA'S work! You are sooo right! Her story is SOOO FREAKIN' INSPIRING! I just wanted to say that. If I had known about a swap...I would have been the FIRST to accept anything that has to do with FRIDA. WONDERFUL WONDERFUL Person whom I can relate to in MANY ways. :) Anyhoo, I'm rambling...LOLOL I love these pieces!
ReplyDeleteOh, all of this Frida art is so cool - I love seeing how each of us worked with the theme and our self-portraits. Judie's is so cool, and I love Kai's too.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you may use my quote - thanks for asking! I feel honored.
Hope you have a happy St. Patrick's Day - and a happy spring!
LOL JoyceAnn yes that's Mz. Wee. Glad you like it! I thought it was rather funny! But then, I have an odd sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the variations, each one divine. I always regret the swaps I say no to. I opted for the crow book instead but my pages are still empty...eeek!!!
