Frida Kahlo Art Paper Dolls

What a fun theme for the Roses on my Table September paper doll trade--Frida and the Day of the Dead.
I used some Graphic Fairy http://thegraphicsfairy.com/ images for Frida's heart and shoes and for the big flower in her hair, and an assortment of paper and fabric scraps.

Woodstock Music ATCs

Here is what I have been working on lately for Music ATCs for the heARTist Trading group.  I went back to the Woodstock era for design inspiration and added some lyrics from the famous song, written by Joni Mitchell and made famous by Crosby, Stills and Nash. The designs were done in Photoshop and Quark, then overprinted with white printmaking paint, and the edges aged with liquid brown chalk.
