The Belly Art Project: Moms Supporting Moms
The Belly Art Project is a celebration of one of humanity’s greatest motherhood! Created by Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx and the Sara Blakely Foundation, this beautiful, happy book features photographs of over 100 women who came together and used unlikely canvases - their bellies - as billboards of hope.
The Belly Art Project showcases moms-to-be with their bellies transformed into works of art--witty, eye-bending and beautifully art directed--all posed to benefit mothers in need. All kinds of mamas bellied up to the cause, from celebrities like Kate Winslet, mother of three, and Milla Jovovich, mother of two, to business leaders like Zanna Roberts Rassi, fashion editor and TV host, and Stacey Bendet, founder and CEO of fashion brand Alice and Olivia, to everyday women from all over the globe. With a complete how-to belly paint section so readers can paint themselves or their friends, The Belly Art Project is an inventive piece of design and a perfect baby shower present.
100% of the author's proceeds benefit Every Mother Counts.

This book is incredible! I am honored to have won it in a Goodreads Giveaway and, now that I have finished reading it, I intend to donate it to the library I work at for others to appreciate.
I am amazed by how wonderful the various belly art turns out in photos and absolutely intend to check-out the website to see what we "commoners" can do! Gorgeous sets and paintings! A pleasure to look at all these photographs for the art alone!
It is awesome that so many well known women (and some men) gave their time for this project; I hope it was donated! The celebrity endorsements should hopefully further promote the cause and I'm glad the author's proceeds are being donated to help mothers, especially expectant mothers.
The book is well organized throughout. I appreciate the instructions on how to create your own belly art at the end!
My only critique is the cover. Compared to the other amazing photographs within, it pales.

The tribal goal of turning women into breeding animals for the men was quite a progress. It mean that the most productive tribes would have more weapon wielding men ready to rob and enslave the less numerous tribes. Since then the woman is counted with the cattle. And this simple act of enslavement has brought misery to all: women and men, both young and old. And the misery is on the rise, each century more wars and more lives lost.
Add the fact that the planet's resources are limited and the specie has gone from an estimated 1 billion to 7 in just the last century, and even if you hate women this book is obscene.
The drawings are not very creative or nice either.

What a beautiful book, everything from the meaning behind it, to what the book is supporting, (100% of this book's author's proceeds will go to Mothers In Need) to all the mom's who did the belly art project and are pictured in it.
I will be using this book as a baby shower idea for future mom's to be!
"Mothers are one of our planet's greatest resources. We need to do everything we can do to support them."

This book is so fun! It makes me want to be pregnant just so I have a blank canvas for my own belly art projects.

The perfect gynecologist waiting room coffee table book (I'm german, we love long words: Frauenarztwartezimmerbildband)
But, besides this, funny to browse through and then.. another useless book.. either a present for a (pregnant?!!!) friend, who also will not know what to do with it after browsing through.. guess I'll donate it to my gynecologist for her waiting room.. :)
Well done great pregnant belly photos though..
