Mixed-Media Artwork Project


Title
A Quiet Space
11x14 canvas

Spent time in my art studio, applying the layers...
laying out the tissue paper...
adding elements to the drawings...
finalizing the layout...
layering...
layering...
and finally...
applying the last layer of medium.

Day of the Dead- Frida Kahlo Charm Bracelet

In honor of 
Frida Kahlo
A famous artist whom I admire.
Made in my studio.
Took a lot thought...
choosing just the right charms and beads.

Wanting to create just the right element...
add enough passion to take in...
a touch of dedication towards the artist herself...
and at last, a story to tell.
