Sunday Sketches & progress on Frida





This is my Sunday Sketch for this week. I thought I'd keep the Frida theme going here on my blog since I'm in Frida mode. For more Sunday Sketches visit Sophia!!
I also wanted to post a few photos of the progress I've made with Frida on Page 2 of my "Frida Study"!

  1. Isn't it amazing how Frida kinda takes over when you start her. She refuses to be forgotten. I love what you are doing with her.

  2. I was so inspired by your Frida I did a self portrait. I am afraid it looks like a child did it but I kind like it!!! I had a hard time put the colors in chunks on the face...I don't have the right colored markers, so I used pencil, but the face isn't as bright as the rest. I even used a gold leaf pen.... did I ever mention Frida is one of my favorite artist and I also love the bright Mexican art. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

  11. Oh your Frida is coming along splendidly! I am loving this series! I really like the black and white! Have you thought of showing each piece in black and white and then on the opposite page in color? Both versions are so unique and wonderful.

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
