I imagine it was a very moving and strange experience to finally be able to see and touch things she had collected and worn. And maybe he wanted to make sure it was closed until well after he was gone, too?RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-52310393514417084662011-03-31T19:57:37.975-04:002011-03-31T19:57:37.975-04:00Very cool post.

I did 5 or 6. I do like crows and we now have 4 of them coming around (not my yard but trees in a neighbor's yard and sometimes cawing overhead as they go by). I wish they would stop and say hello :)<br /><br />Bar, yes, she was a tiny thing - you can see why her mother said the marriage of Frida and Diego was like that between a dove and an elephant!RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-85102248325353460032011-03-31T13:01:02.229-04:002011-03-31T13:01:02.229-04:00Am I a Frida-phile?

This book sounds very interesting and I was shocked to learn that she was only 5'2" - she had so much presence that she appeared to be much taller.<br />Good luck in the show with the crows!!!Barb Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632810668704142394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-61324509187364616512011-03-31T09:44:42.881-04:002011-03-31T09:44:42.881-04:00thanks for the heads up about this book, Frida has...thanks for the heads up about this book, Frida has always fascinated me. <br />I can't find your crow paintings. I would enjoy seeing them. I have devoted some time to painting crows as well, they are one of my favorite birds.mimi torchia boothby watercolorshttp://mimitabby.comnoreply@blogger.com
