From the Blogger: "Early on this year, I went to an exhibition about the life of the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. I was so impressed that I decided to make a Frida Kahlo ornament for my tree this year. I used a wood slice for Frida's face. As Frida Kahlo is famous for wearing flowers in her hair a made a bunch of colorful flowers for the ornament. These flowers were made from small scraps of felt. This is one colorful Christmas ornament that will certainly brighten up your tree."
