México.

I'm spechless. Which is pretty weird on me, since I'm such a talkative girl. And I didn't know how to name this vexel... because was afraid I would ruin it. You know, it's... Frida.
One of my favorite artists.

Frida's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House.She gave her birthdate as July 7,1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6,1907. This is just one of the many lies Frida told about her life.

At age 6, Frida was stricken with polio, which caused her right leg to appear much thinner than the other. It was to remain that way permanently.

When Frida entered high school she was a tomboy full of mischief who became the ringleader of a rebellious group of mainly boys that continually caused trouble in the National Preparatory School. This group pulled many pranks , mainly on professors. It was also in the National Preparitory School that Frida first came in contact with her future husband, the famous Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera. He was commissioned to paint a mural in the school's auditorium.

On September 17, 1925, at about age 18, Frida Kahlo was involved in a serious bus accident which left her with a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, and 11 fractures in her right leg. In addition her right foot was dislocated and crushed, and her shoulder was out of joint. For a month, Frida was forced to stay flat on her back, encased in a plaster cast and enclosed in a boxlike structure.

I loved the way Carolina shaded this vexel, she's awesome <33
I'm sure that this is the first of many collaborations to come.
Hope you guys like it.

bubblegumbarbe79 9 May 06 - 12.29am	ive never heard of her until you guys mentioned her. I think shes kinda odd looking (not your vexel, its lovely but her in general). So she is a painter? Well i guess you learn something everyday hehe :D. Great skin shading on the face ^-^.

AcidDoll 8 May 06 - 11.09pm	Frida's life was so sad, yet she managed to make beautiful paintings out of it. She was an awesome artist, and so are you both !! El vexel se ve precioso !! Sus estilos se ven increibles juntos. Eso si, Frida se ve un poquito rubia. Pero probablemente sea mi idea :P
