Frida Kahlo was undoubtedly one of Mexico's greatest artists, best known for her vivid and visually honest self-portraits. Despite her debilitating health problems - which ultimately led to an early death at only 47 years - she was a spirited, outspoken and politically active woman with a penchant for traditional and colourful clothes and jewelry!
Frida Kahlo zählt zweifellos zu den bedeutendsten Künstlerinnen Mexikos, bekannt für ihre lebendigen Selbstporträts, die oftmals ihre, durch einen schweren Unfall verursachten, körperlichen und seelischen Schmerzen darstellen. Trotz ihrer vielen gesundheitlichen Probleme, die letztlich zu ihrem frühen Tod (sie starb mit 47 J) führen, war sie eine temperamentvolle und politisch engagierte Frau - mit einer Vorliebe für farbenfrohe Kleidung und Schmuck!
Here are a few Frida-inspired creations of mine!

Liebe Duni,
ich finde Frida auch absolut inspirierend! Ich habe mal ein wahnsinnig interessantes Buch über sie gelesen.
Die Tasche und die Manschette gefallen mir ganz besonders gut. Danke für die schönen Bilder!
Liebe Grüße,

Beautiful inspirations Duni! And thank you for being a part of Bubby and Bean today!
Frida ist auch für mich immer eine Inspiration! Einmal habe ich mich auch an Karneval entsprechend verkleidet ( hier ist der Post: http://www.lemondedekitchi.blogspot.de/2012/08/stickdateien-iii-folclorico.html )
Deine Kette ist klasse!
