"Fridalope" Art Doll

This decorative Frida Kahlo art doll is inspired by Kahlo’s 1946 painting “The Little Deer.” She appears as a wounded deer with a human head. Her body is shot through with arrows. Kahlo owned a pet deer named Granizo.

These Frida dolls are my original design, inspired by Frida’s many self-portraits and paintings, as well as some photographs taken of the artist (and some are just inspired by the artist herself!). Each doll is hand-sewn out of soft ultrasuede, hand-beaded using an appliqué technique, and takes several days to create. The dolls are lightweight and multi-textured, glittery, soft, and colorful! The back of each doll is undecorated.
