Frida Kahlo Earrings

I have always wanted to make hand earrings, but thought it was kind of creepy. A few weeks ago, my family and I went to a restaurant called "Frida's Bistro" named after the artist Frida Kahlo. I looked up at the large sign hanging over the restaurant and there was Frida looking down at me wearing her hand earrings. It made my day! I wasn't the only one that thought hand earrings were cool. Later upon investigating those earrings, I found out they were a gift to her from Pablo Picasso! How cool is that?!?! Now I had to make them. I thought the size and shape of Barbie hands were perfect. It was quite an experience going to the DI and searching all the Barbie's and seeing which of the dolls I would like to cut their hands off and make an accessory out of. I am glad no one knew my true intentions! It was also quite an experience amputating her arms off. I did not find joy or pleasure in it. Don't worry, I am not a sociopath!
