フリーダカーロ
Following on from the card I made last month, I decided to make a Frida Kahlo picture.
この前、友人に作ったフリーダカードに続きフリーダの飾り物を作りました。
It’s roughly A5 size. I wanted to make the flowers pop, so I went for a monochrome face.
大きさは大体A5サイズ。今回は花を際立たせたかったので顔はモノクロに着色しました。
I used Japanese ‘Washi’ paper to make the flowers. This paper is often used in Japan to make sleeves for chopsticks in good restaurants.
Now it’s finished, I’m wondering if it looks more like Medusa than Frida! ?
花は箸入れ用の和紙を使いました。
なんかフリーダというよりメデューサの様ですけど。?
So beautiful!
Thank you, Soo!
Wow, this may be even nicer than the previous one! I can’t make up my mind!
Thank you, I’m glad you like it!
Bellissimo!
Thank you, Isabella!
I love the blend of colours in the flowers. Did you colour the washi paper or was it pre-coloured? Japanese paper is quite expensive here in Ireland but it’s worth it.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments! The washi paper is pre-coloured. Yes, genuine washi paper is also quite expensive here in the UK. However, when I was making the flowers, I found the washi was a little soft. I think crepe paper might be better to use.
WOW this is so beautiful, the dark background is perfect for making the flowers really pop. Emmax
Thank you, Emma! Yes, I was really trying to make the flowers the focal point.
It’s beautiful and definitely more like Frida… though a Medusa one is a great idea
Haha! Thanks, Alan! Maybe there will be a Medusa in the future! Hope you and Amber are well and stay safe! x
Your work inspires me whilst also filling me with envy! ??
Aww, thanks, Denise! I’ve been discovering some great stuff on your site, too!
