Torso Swap

I joined in with a torso swap at Zuzu's Petals and Buds (organised by Mandy) and received these today, from (l to r) Sandy, Anne and Kily. They are absolutely gorgeous and look good with my growing collection!

Two torsos

Mona torso

Just so you know I'm not totally 'Frida fixated', here's a Mona torso.
I used a Laura Ashley paper for the background and added my own flourishes.
Thank you Rosie for the lovely Art stamp.

Butterflies

Two more Fridas....the second one using my favourite Frida picture and my favourite font.

Belleza

I'm having a crafting day all by myself ..... at last!
So finally I can get on with my torso swaps. Thanks to everyone who is joining in.... you'll be getting one (or two) of these.
This one is my favourite - I don't think I could repeat it as it started off as a random collage of different papers and kind of grew from there. I drew and cut out the little flowers and wrote Kahlo by hand. Belleza means beautiful.


More later when I can persuade blogger to put pictures where I want them!

Torso Challenge

Well I'm off to Skiathos tomorrow so no posts from me for just over a week. In the meantime, I thought I'd copy Rosie's idea and give you a challenge.

This is my Frida torso..I'll make more when I get home and swap with anyone who wants to have a go. I suggest a female icon as your theme.

No rules about the shape of the torso - just make it roughly ATC sized as mine is.

I hope you'll give it a go!

Adio!

Love Linda xx

PPS Thanks to those who asked about my thumb - its just about healed! (Its a numb thumb though - probably no nerve endings left!)
