Frida-centricity

With no planned post for today, and feeling extremely bored last night, I decided to troll around on Etsy to see what struck my fancy. I've had Frida Kahlo on the brain of late, as my photographer friend Dee just finished her latest project - a breathtakingly hermosa homage to the great artist - and I can't stop thinking of bright colors, flowers and abstract images. (And once I get her permish, I'll get a post up with some of the awe-inspiring images she captured.)

So here are a few items from some favorite Etsy artists that resonated for one reason or another with my Frida state of mind. ¡QuĂ© te disfruta de verlos! (Enjoy the view, and my questionable Spanish.)


1. Frida ring, brass and rhinestones by ElvesGarden
2. The New Edge 8x10 print by PeggyWolfDesign
3. Cherry Red Hair Clip by WashingtonApple
4. Bloomsbury Long Necklace by Tamar
5. Unique, unequaled, special...or am I just a freak by BestArtStudios2
6. Wooden Desk Planter by ErdeDesigns
7. Ascension Necklace - A Tribute to Frida Kahlo by RosyRevolver
8. Mini Poppies by Poppychicdesigns
