Found Art about women and hunger

" Women are the world's primary food producers, yet cultural traditions and social structures often mean women are much more affected by hunger and poverty than men." World Food Programme (United Nations)

"Seven out of 10 of the world’s hungry are women and girls, according to the UN World Food Program." Unifem

The Hunger Project

Rosa's theme is "woman " so Nancy made a figure out of self hardening clay.
Jafabrit snuck her piece called "what a woman" between two mailboxes.Music inspired by Lone Beader's current blog entry

Found Art

Making a connection with our art is one of the most rewarding parts of being an artist (sales are nice too). So when the theme of a book came up on Rosa Murillo's Found Art Tuesday blog it made sense to Nancy to make something that shared a little part of herself and her family history.
To see what another jafagirl came up with visit Jafabrit's blog.

Hope you enjoy
