Dolores Leycegui hand-embroiders and paints cloth dolls in a variety of sizes, each with the uni-brow facial feature of Frida Kahlo.She sells her dolls from her own small-scale craft workshop in Oaxaca, Mexico, where she plans to stay fro the rest of her life.
From an early age, she knew she was going to end up with a career using her sewing and embroidering skills which encompasses her creativity.
Some of this creativity will expand as she travels to different cultural, climatic and physical regions to meet and learn from the local people.Her 18 years in the doll business didn't just stop there. She also made wood and fabric marionettes, typical with images of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
