there are so many women of note that came to mind for the WS Women’s History Month theme
I could not pass up the chance to do a Frida Kahlo piece
it all began with a sardine can
and beeswax at our local altered arts group gathering
torn map and tissue papers … bits of lace … a piece of metal zipper and a crepe paper Memorial Day poppy made by a veteran in 2005 (see it’s good to hang on to things sometimes)
the final touch was the red ribbon holding a mother-of-pearl sacred heart pendant that I have also had around for a while
one word from this American Art Stamp (Designer: Kathleene Callei) went into my Frida shrine
be sure and visit Wednesday Stamper to be inspired by our guest designer Sherry Goodloe … she created an amazing reversible Fragments necklace for this week’s theme to celebrate women
* * Happy St Patty’s Day … here is a sweet Irish tune for ya * *

Oh my goodness, this is just awesome!! First I loved the theme and your choice of guest designer and second I LOVE your Frida art!! I just saw Belinda’s wonderful painting of Frida, Picasso style and now you’ve created a wonderful piece of art with her as the center piece as well. If I hadn’t changed my mind at the very last minute you would actually have seen Frida at my blog too, lol
Well done Patty, gorgeous design and colours!!

This is the ultimate recycled piece. I love all the materials you used and how you put the piece together. There is a great deal of symbolism in this piece. I studied it for quite some time, enjoying both color and message.
