The Body Book



This is another unfinished and ongoing recycling project. I saw these remarkable images of body tattoos in a magazine, and knew I wanted to keep them. I clipped them out, and now what to do with them?

I bought a children's board book at the Peninsula Community Thrift Shop for 15 cents. I scraped it and sanded it and painted it. I smoothed some different colors of chalk along the torn edges of the pages. With some acrylic paint backgrounds I now had a place to paste the tattoo images






I love these images of women's bodies ... all shapes and sizes, colors and ages.

I'm wondering if you've been wanting a tattoo. I can't stand needles so it sure wouldn't work for me.
