This is side 1 of a Frida Kahlo journal page swap in my art group. The main image is from a google search totally altered. The background was done with painted deli paper. The central strip of paper was a gift from my friend Wanda. You can see her amazing work here
Hi Astrid, I think this is the first time I've visited your blog, what great stuff! the journal spread is beautiful, so many of my favorite elements, architecture, vintage imagery...and of course, printed words!! Love the Fridas too, you are very talented!
Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
