Trees of life - How to create a placenta print
On Sunday, we were planning to plant three new trees - a plum tree and two apple trees. On the agenda? Thawing both Gwen’s and Gil’s placentas in order to plant under them and nourish the new trees.
Brad pulled the frozen placentas out of the freezer on Saturday and as I watched the 4L ice cream container thaw, I got a bit nostalgic and, after seeing this onesie, started (re-)researching placenta prints. After a bit of coaxing from Brad to make up my mind already, I decided to go for it - if they didn’t work out, I had at least tried and if they did, I would have some beautiful art. I decided to do the prints on canvas with acrylic paint.
Following is a tutorial (sadly, without pictures other than the finished products!)! Read the rest of this entry »
