Halloween Tutorial: Frida Kahlo

I've been a fan of Frida Kahlo for many years - both her paintings and flamboyant style. As a teenager I cut out 2 small pictures of her, inserted them into coke bottle caps and made earrings.  This summer I was lucky to attend a wonderfully curated exhibit of her paintings, clothing and other personal artifacts here in Berlin.  As I will be dressing up as Frida for Halloween, I thought I'd make a video tutorial for you all that is featured at the end of this post...
I did a Frida Kahlo YouTube video last year but had to remove it due to music copyright issues
Here is last years version. Pretty similar -  I just used 2 different colored flowers and didn't weave ribbons into my hair
Viva la Frida!
And have a lovely weekend, BHB
