Frida style headdress, 2012
crepe paper and silk fabric
The Day of the Dead celebration was last week and I made a new headdress for it. How did I choose the colors? They chose me really, it was the only crepe paper I had around. I usually resist using saturated purples though for making a Frida headdress the colors worked perfectly. So I got busy. As I worked I became more comfortable using the colors knowing that with this project I was on the right track.I completed the Frida outfit with my embroidered jacket, colorful scarf, and big earrings like last year - though this year I omitted the nerdy glasses. An improvement.

beautiful headband! x
Beautiful! And beautiful colours!
the saturated purples of the flowers, and the muted tone of the silk go very well together: I think you need both types of colors to make it really beautiful.
Welcome back!
