over at craftster.org smmarrt organized an art doll swap. there are wonderful dolls in the gallery and you can find them all
HERE. i was crafting for ericas_tattoos who had some great art doll ideas on her questionnaire. two of those were "mermaid" and "frida kahlo". and it didn't take me too long to know what i wanted to make for her!
luckily frida kahlo has a very recognizeable face. im not a good artist as far as drawing goes but i was able to do this face using some micron markers. the body fabric came from Rock Paper Scissors which carries utterly fantastic fabric. the owner there has awesome taste.

| i was lucky to already have the perfect glass bead for her hair. I used jewelry findings for her earrings. |

| i sewed a little bit of a shawl for her and on the back i put a frida kahlo quote that i found that i really liked. |
