Month of April

"April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain. "

Frida Inspired - PAPER DOLL PROJECT

Inspired 

I have always been intrigued and completely fascinated by the life of Frida Kahlo. 

The life Frida lead, her medical issues, along side ALL the pain she suffered with... 

truly showed in her works of art.

Using this template free-frida-kahlo doll, old painted paper, acrylic paints, and a few collage pieces.. I was delighted to create this paper doll in her honor. 

Turnip please.

A mixer of an altered book page, masking tape, acrylic paints, collage clippings, and a little bit of self intuitive!

ENJOY THE PROCESS. 

Mistakes & Regrets

A Place to Call Home - acrylic painting 

"Something you need most might be something you turn away from, something you turn away from might be something you regret, and something you regret, in the end, might cost you the one chance you ever had."     

Art Process...

Acrylic paints

Charcoal

Scissors 

Glue

Hand-cut paper stencils

Collage bits 

A sticky, painted mess that perhaps leads nowhere, but a happy place within our 

OWN CREATIVE HEART! 

That is what it "feels like" being in the process and not working on the product of art. 

ENJOY THE MOMENT.
