Documented Life Project 2015 – Week 35

Today I'm sharing what I created for Week 35 of
The Original Documented Life Project™ The Journal!

August Theme
Faces, the Human Form & Characters

August 29 Challenge & Prompt
Art Challenge:  Self Portrait
Journal Prompt:  Mirror Mirror

When I saw this week’s challenge with self-portraits, I immediately thought of Frida Kahlo and her amazing and powerful self-portraits. And I thought of the Monotype Workshop in Mexico City I attended during graduate school. While there, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum located at her bright blue former home – a dream come true for me!

For this page, I incorporated Pam Carriker’s stencil of Frida Kahlo from StencilGirl Products and scribbled about that delightful week in Mexico City – it was a week in December filled with colors, sunshine, adventures and festivities! I couldn't resist including the little vintage map sticker of Mexico, too!

Below is a detail of my page:

I love how very open to interpretation The Documented Life Project Challenges have been!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Hope you're having a wonderful week!
