Felicity base left pretty much intact, removed the high heeled shoes and replaced with a pair of ML SDCC Shanna feet. Added some length to the skirt with Pro Create. The head came off of an ML Mockingbird with the hair cut short and added some braided buns with Apoxie sculpt. The most innovative part, IMO, is the shawl. I was going to make it from ProCreate, but since my wife loves to hoard old gift bags, I just cut off the hand strap off one of them and used that! Pretty nifty, right 🤪? The props were made from balsa and bass wood from my local Michaels craft store. Pictures were borrowed off the internet. This Frida is sort of a commission work, my niece asked me if I could make her a Frida figure and of course I couldn’t say no to that. Let me know what you think.
Ok,so, I forgot to include a few other details like:
The paintbrushes were made from toothpick and a bit of Apoxie
The painters palette was cut out of a comic backing board
The earrings are small brass craft store bands
The cigarette was hand crafted by Moi’ with Apoxie and hand painted then I added a bit of hot glue to emulate cigarette smoke and lastly, though it’s barely noticeable, I made my Frida
a wristwatch with Apoxie.

Yeah it was one of those happy accidents. I really like to use everyday objects that you wouldn’t think would work with this, but there it is! Thanks.

This is a pretty Frida- more like Salma Hayek in the movie LOL I dig what you've done as far as the mixed media, the hair, flowers & the diorama pieces! My wife is a huge fan of her work & I sent her a link immediately! I'm actually 85% done w/ an awesome Mexican duo so be on the lookout 4 that, Manito!

I’ll be keeping my eyes open for those my man. Glad you think my Frida looks pur-ty, although the Real Frida was not a bad looking woman, just had a different style, ya know? Gracias ‘Mano.
