So last night at about 10:30 I got an idea -
One of those ideas that just had to be worked on right then and there! So with my trusty Cincinnati Art Museum cup at my side I freehand cut out some facial features. When I dropped the eyebrows on the counter it reminded me of Frida Kahlo.
This morning I worked on refining the features somewhat. LOVE how the nose turned out. I doubt that anyone ever seeing that shape would think nose unless it was accompanied with the other parts of the face.
Started working on a coffee stain that was already in my journal. . .
She's wonky but she was handcut with no pattern or any type or rhyme or reason so I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out - although those eyes are more than a little crazy!!
Doesn't everyone keep their brushes in a Spiderman cup? You can tell that I am the mom of boys!

So beautiful, Michelle. I LOVE how you created the reflection on her face. Would love to know your secret. :) xx
Oh, I so love this. What a great idea!
Love this...
Your art is awesome. You inspire me!
This lady is so exotic looking and beautiful. I think its really clever to cut out the black paper as then go from there. The black really pops on your portrait too.
i LOVE your Frida!! I especially love those huge eyes & eyebrows... Your water-colour background is so cool too. Beautiful portrait. xx
