Papercut Frida

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!

    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.
