For the next 365 days I will take a picture of myself. Each day/picture will have a part of my body in it. I am looking forward to this challenge and being able to see myself and body in a new light. I am hoping for grow as an artist and a person.

I paint self-portraits because I am the person I know best. -Frida Kahlo

Please Enjoy...

    I love this photo ... sad that people are ashamed of stretch marks, especially when thye are a result of a gorgeous baby!

    p.s. I just thought i'd let you know (if you didn't already) that I've added your blog link to my blogfeed of 365's http://arabbitaday.blogspot.com/p/other-365s-daily-blogfeed.html for everyone to see.

    Hope that's OK. Let me know if it isn't and i'll remove it!

    Cheers, Sarah

    Back before I had stretch marks, I heard a woman refer to hers as "tiger stripes", marks of a "strong, wild woman." When I'm feeling down on myself about mine (oh, I miss having a smooth belly), I remind myself of the awesome work that skin did! Love this photo & quote.

    Thank you all! This was a big step for me on the long road to accepting my body. I was hesitant, but I am so glad I did it :)
