Frida Kahlo did some pretty trippy surrealist stuff. Let's give it a try! She is widely known for her self portraits, but did other portraits, distinctive skulls, animals, fruits, etc. There is a great gallery of her art here. That is also where I obtained the image pictured for this swap. Using art technique true to the cut and paste spirit, create a postcard incorporating Frida Kahlo's style but using collage. This can be completely handmade or altered art. You may print out a painting or use a copy from a book or magazine (or another source). Use the cut and paste theme of collage and mixed media and have fun. 1 postcard, 1 partner. In October we had the first famous painting swap, in January we did a Gustav Klimt and now this is number 3 of that "series." I like naked postcards but if you're concerned about successful delivery, you may send it in an envelope. This is sender's choice. | |
