"ew!" art

thanks to my friend terry on the howforums... this was both fun and gross!

what do you think of the above artwork? it was lovingly created by a mother for her child. lovely, isn't it? want to know which materials she used?

well, her placenta, of course!

yes, this print was created using her means of creation -- her very own placenta. apparently this is not unheard of. in addition to burying the placenta and, ::shudder::, eating the placenta -- both of which i have heard of before -- they even sell placenta print kits. it's an, um, novel way of doing something for your child. and i guess it's non-toxic...

being an artist, i'm open to a lot of different mediums and ideas. but bodily fluids/by-products has never been an area i'm cool with. ew!
